Quote 1:

“A bunch of diving boards lined up without a pool (tons of quotes with no analysis) wouldn’t please anyone—except maybe Uncle Barry”

Response:

This quote was very interesting to me because I agree with this. This quote basically shows that if someone were to include many quotes without analysis it would not be interesting to the reader nor would the reader understand the relevance of the quote.

Quote 2:

“Return to each quotation and decide why its there and then massage it accordingly”

Response:

I  thought this quote was very relevant because it shows that the writer should always include the relevance of the quote so the reader can better understand the reasoning for including the quote. If not, the reader may be confused on the relevance and get confused within the piece of work.

Quote 3:

“I mentioned above that there can be situations where starting a paragraph with a quotation can have a strong effect. Personally, I usually enjoy this most at the beginning of essays or the beginning of sections—”

Response:

I agreed with this quote because I believe that starting with a quote can captivate the reader into finishing the piece and finding out the relevancy of the quote in order to relate to the piece of work.

Quote 4:

“Readers get the feeling that they’re moving from one quotation to the next without ever quite getting to hear the real point of what the author wants to say, never getting any time to form an opinion about the claims”

Response:

In certain pieces I have read, I can agree on this because sometimes writers include quotes without ever getting to the main point of the piece of writing making the reader left wondering and confused when it comes to the piece of work.

From reading this piece of work, I  have learned how to better quote my pieces of research into my piece of work. I    believe this can help me in my writing in order to strengthen my pieces of work, by including quotations at certain areas of my writing as opposed to just including quotes at areas of my writing that not make sense. Additionally, it was interesting to learn that whilst some people may not appreciate your writing style others may. For example, he includes that people you know as well as family and friends many not appreciate or see the importance in your writing. However, a stranger may like your piece of work and then begin to support you because they are able to relate to your piece of writing. To add on, I thought it was interesting to see the difference between different writers due to the way of their response to the quote. This shows me and the other readers who the stronger writers may be due to their analyzation, also we are able to see different peoples’ perspectives and minds when it comes to different topics.

Being a true anime as myself, that I would like to consider as well as thousands of fans out there one thing truly captivating is the plots. The plots of anime is one thing that anime fans can truly associate with as well as gaining an attachment to within the show or manga. The plot is a main reason that allows readers and anime watchers to develop a deeper understanding for the piece of work. In finding this out, it has lead me to wonder on the development of this plot as well as the development of the work that goes into creating these pieces. “Because of the high costs associated with producing animated films, Tezuka limited the characters’ movements as much as possible. Instead, he placed emphasis on the quality of the story line, another possible reason that many ensuing Japanese anime works had complex plots.” Personally, realizing that in the beginning of anime it was difficult to afford animating films, it makes sense that writers would work on developing the plot and working on making the plot more thorough and creative in order to apply and be interesting to their audience.

Something important I learned that I learned in Unit 2, that I want to teach my audience is the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes in terms of what goes into producing and creating mangas and anime. The audience I    plan to reach out to are people in the anime community as well as manga readers. I believe in reaching out to this audience they would also be able to understand as well as appreciate the hard work studios and artists put in, to create the piece of work they are interested in. Additionally, they would be able to see how the production and style of anime has changed over the years in creating certain pieces. The genre I plan to write is an informative article. I chose this genre of writing because I believe in doing so, it would be easy for me to convey the information I am trying to tell without getting boring to the reader as well as being able to include the information and details I may have gathered in my research by guiding the reader to them. I plan on starting this article by researching the background as well as the details many people may not know. Also, by watching videos or interviews with those who work behind the scenes in order to gain the right information that is included. One concern I  have when completing this paper is keeping the information interesting and not repetitive. I would want people to stay captivated in my writing and not get bored. I will try and keep it interesting by speaking on my personal beliefs and in relation to the main idea so I am not just including information for the reader to keep reading. Overall, I  believe this main idea for my article will be interesting to those invested in anime wondering to learn more.

Regarding my question in unit 2, I believed that anime fans such as myself or overall the whole anime community needed to hear about my research. I believed this because in reading my research, anime fans would able to gain a better understanding and appreciation in reading and learning the history. I thought that learning about all of the hard work and time that went into developing anime in the beginning would make anime fans in present day appreciate the current anime as it has come a long way in a few decades. I do not think this needs to be narrowed down because the anime community covers a very large range and I believe that everyone in the community should read the history of anime. I think the best way to reach this audience is merely by reaching out to people within sharing links through social media or including little blurbs within the anime or mangas in itself. I think in doing so, it can easily captivate those in the fandom and allowing a farther audience and research in itself. For unit 3, I would like to write an article going in depth about the hard work and production that goes into producing anime and pieces that happens in production studios specific to Japanese anime. I think learning about this can help people gain a better understanding of how much work it takes to produce and create an anime, or overall just an animated piece of work. I think researching specifically to anime can help see the thought process and ideologies when creating some of the characters based off mangas.
