PB1B Genre Generator

Image
Experimenting with some genre generators, I have found out that many of them actually have specific types of generators for different needs and wants. There are dozens of different types of generators to choose some. Some generate memes and comics while others can help formulate an entire plot for a story based on your input. Many if not all genre generators will have specific fields to fill in when creating something. That is what makes them unique and helps them produce their product. They are very easy to use and help the user find and make whatever they want or need. It is as simple as typing in “genre generator” into google and finding endless options of different types of genre generators.   For the given generators I was only able to access two of them that were given and that was the Meme Generator and SCIgen. Immediately after getting on the website, the absolute very first page had gotten me to laugh within seconds. On the front page were some known ...

PB1A Sale Signs

When thinking of what a genre is, it is a lot more than just a peculiar movie type—such as comedy and drama. Genres can be anything that is textually seen. Though there are varieties of genres, one genre that I am familiar with are ‘Sale Signs and Advertisements’. My familiarity with them comes from my job experience at GNC.

These signs are identical but have totally different meanings and what they could bring to the table. When looking at th...

Annotation Strategies

8/23 When I am annotating, I am taking in the information that’s being written and try to relate to it to the best of my ability. In many of my annotations, you would notice how I tend to write “relatable” or even answer the question or statement that’s written. There are different ways to annotate, some are by agreeing or disagreeing with the statements or even questioning what’s written. I also tend to highlight and underline certain lines and phrases that stick out to me. Highlighting and underlining questions and phrases I’m not fully aware of helps understand and put the writing piece together. Annotations definitely help reading any piece much easier. How do other people annotate? Mostly everyone will highlight things that they don’t know. Car for example highlights questions and statements that he isn’t aware of and then comes back to them to answer or answers immediately. By highlighting those sentences that don’t fully make sense at first, Car can und...
