Blog Assignment 3

My style to produce my essay were to find as many details Vonnegut and Vicente used to explain their opinion on technology. When I found what I believed to be their opinion on technology, it allowed me to compare their values of technology to mine. In my opinion, I believe having a well put paper has good facts linked directly to my own thoughts on the subject.

I found it easier to produce this essay when having plenty of hard evidence of the two authors. I took notes while reading both texts, and I found having specific passages very helpful. When I use these specific passages inside the texts, I had an easier time putting details and giving my essay some life. The two authors seemed to explain in detail the negativity technology had in two different aspects. Whether the Chernobyl incident or ice-nine, in my opinion, it seemed Vonnegut and Vicente were both pointing out negative sides of technology.

When I constructed my essay, I first laid out the context of both Vonnegut's and Vicente's points of view. I explained the background of both the texts to give the reader a chance to catch up to the subject. Following the context, I began to evaluate how my own opinions on technology compared to Vonnegut and Vicente. When I began this part of my essay, I had an easier time writing in my own voice because it reflected differently than what the two authors were trying to explain. Perhaps one thing I wish I had made earlier in this essay would have been to branch off even further in my own opinions on the topic. The better I explain my essay to the reader, the better the chance my reader will have understanding my essay and not being confused.

I found peer editing on-line easier because I was allowed as much time as I needed to find key points in the paper that I found intriguing. When having as much time as I have, I can read and re-read the paper to find the analysis I want. Also, the comments I received were very helpful in editing my paper because the comments I got were very detailed.
