Genre project with reflection quesitons

Eng1121 Genre Essay

  1. Some of the sources were found in the CityTech library database and the rest are online on the internet.
  2.  There was only a few authors that are well-known in this genre, the authors are connected to the genre since they were writers in a website called AnimeNewsNetwork.
  3.  What I was surprised to learn about the history of anime was that I found out about the “fathers of anime” that were 3 manga artist, one being a painter by just joining in a studio together.
  4.  There was not a lot of any sources on the library database about anime review specifically, but there were sources about the history of anime itself.
  5.  Obviously anime isn’t real, its just Japanese animation. But some of the story that the anime talks about are related to our life. For example, something like a young student going through his life as he changes.
  6.  What I discover about my writing when I wrote my own version of the genre is that I expected it to be hard since it was my first time writing one, but its something I am familiar with, so it was easy.
  7.  The easiest part of my own version is that the form that I followed for a general anime review is easy to follow which I did not had a hard time thinking about what to write.
  8.  The hardest part of my own version  is that I was having a hard time deciding which quote to put in my writing.
  9.  The first time I needed to do was to find the form that a general anime review has and think of like a “hook” or introduction to make the beginning of my review interesting for readers to catch.
  10.  What’s different about my writing in this type of genre than in other types I have written was that its simple to  decide what to write. Its like I have all the ideas on my mind but some parts are hard to put into words to make it sound like a normal review so the “discourse community” can understand.
  11.  Reading about my genre helped me figure out how I wanted to write my own is by the form or way its written. As a starter to writing my first anime review, the form was simple to understand and as well as getting some ideas about other authors review to get an idea of what kind of writing it is.

Questions and my haiku

What I noticed about my writing is that from the constraints, I was thinking a lot more about limiting the word use to make it into a haiku. Its surprising that a small 5,7,5 poem can have a bigger meaning to it. Whats challenging was that I had to make a sentence smaller so it only has 5 or 7 syllables. And trying to figure out what I wanted to write about was easy in my opinion.

HAIKU:

Has no empathy
that wants to be recognized
Is a disorder
