The entire unit surrounding MWA 4 was actually pretty fun for me. Analysis is one of my favorite kinds of writing. I don't know why, but it's always been one I've enjoyed and came rather naturally to me.I was even more pumped when I saw we got to pick our topic. I was gong to do a political speech or something much like our SWA 4, but I figured a lot of people would probably do that. So in an attempt to be different, I decided to to do an analysis of Zootopia. Because I liked the movie and I had some ideas about some good analysis for it I figured it would be a fun take on the assignment and was willing to give it a shot. What I didn't realize is how actually in depth and how much I had to take into account when writing this. I watched the movie multiple times and even then had to go back multiple times to really look at the rhetorical situation and truly analyze it.
With this MWA I feel like I really utilized SLO C writing as a process because there was so many ways that I could have written it, and so much information I could include.Starting with SWA 5 I really had to plan and carefully put information together. After deciding what topics I was going to discuss in SWA 5 what I did was watch the movie and begin pulling out scenes or dialogue that illustrated my point. I then had to figure out ways to describe those scenes in a way that was concise, yet informative and illustrated my point. Within those scenes I looked at all kinds of rhetoric and strategies. Tone, dictation, symbolism and parallels were just a few of things I really looked at, as well as appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos within the movie. One of my best points from my paper I feel was my ideas about why animals were chosen as the main characters of the movie, as it could have easily been a movie about human characters. My main proposal as to what that is is because by using animals it removes the preconceived biases that humans have within their own species, allowing for watchers to get a better grasp of the whole picture and observe difficult social situations. I thought it was a really awesome topic for a majority of my paper and overall really enjoyed writing about it.
I have a scattered mind, just because I like to think a lot. So doing assignments like this were i am more or less forced to streamline and organize my ideas in order to get through it are increadbly important. The more of them I do, the more normal it becomes for me to construct my writing in a more organized fashion. This is another thing i'm really going to take with me in the future as when it's structured and organized when i'm creating it, my writing is often much better and has a lot less wandering then I usually do. Writing as a process is also much more manageable then my usual writing tactic, which is just try to finish it as quickly as possible. Writing in a more organized fashion in chunks seems to not only improve the quality, but make it more enjoyable for me to write overall.
