This week we worked on PB1B which was actually a good time to work on (which kind of surprised me considering homework tends to not be one of my favorite things to do unless i get extra credit for saying it is. SO if that's so let me just say how much I LOVE homework). Well we were given three generators to find the conventions of each generator. For the most part it was a very manageable assignment; however, I do have to admit I had a bit of trouble coming up with the conventions of a meme. I mean how many conventions could there be for a picture with five words on it? It was not until we mentioned the conventions in class that I realized even the most minuscule conventions affect the total effectiveness of a piece. For example, the text on the meme is huge because the color, size, font, the background color that it's written over all effect the way in which we look at the meme. I guess what I'm saying is in oppose to my knowledge of conventions and genres last week I did not realize that such small conventions are important to acknowledge when analyzing a piece.
Together learning more about conventions and a few other grammatical rules we are supposed to have our WP1 done by class on Monday. Although the WP1 is not supposed to be a stressful assignment there exists just so many genres that it definitely is giving me a hard time choosing. I do know that AFTER i choose my genre Uncle Zach has taught us enough on conventions and genres to write an interesting WP1.
