Reading Reflection
Wow. So there was a lot of reading this week! It was hard to get through, but I survived! There was a lot of useful information, so that was good. Chapter 14 on avoiding plagiarism was really beneficial. It’s a serious thing, and I know that I need to be careful to cite my sources exactly! I don’t want to get into any trouble that’s for sure. I learned the best way to avoid plagiarism is to understand it. Chapter 13 was especially helpful. It showed how to integrate sources. This is something that I often wondered about. I wasn’t always sure what to do after I paraphrased a section, but now I know! Chapter twelve talked about making drafts. One thing I need to work on with mine is having a concise opening paragraph and closing paragraph. I want to make it clear where I stand on the subject I’m addressing. So I know I can make these things better and that is what I will be working towards. The websites helped me understand more about how to work information I’ve found from my sources into my paper. As usual this week’s reading were really helpful.

Deadline Reflection
I’m not going to lie, this week was a lot of work. It took me a really long time to compile my researches into logical categories and to write up an entire draft. I’m really glad this week is over! However I feel that this week I’ve made the most progress towards my goal. Even though it was a lot of work, it is exciting to see my essay come to together. I’m glad that my draft is finished, and now I can focus on revising, and refining my draft into the final product.

Grammar Assignment
This week I listened to another one of Grammar Girls Episodes. This week’s episode was on misusing the words Very and So. Both words are used as “intensifiers.” In other words they stress a point that we are trying to make. However in formal writing, these words are looked down upon. (Especially So) However when so is paired with that then it becomes an indefinite adverb. I learned to use very with caution. I just need to keep in mind that most of the time it is better to use a stronger adjective than to throw in a so, or very.
An example of a sentence would be:
I was very nervous. (Not very good)
I was filled with anxiety. (Better)

Annotated Bibliography
Comparative Treatments for Eating Disorders. Ed. Katherine J. Miller, J. Scott Mizes. New York: Springer, 2000.
This book provides information on several different approaches to the treatment of a patient with longsuffering eating disorders. The book shows how different each treatment can be. At the end of this book there is a comprehensive summary. This is especially helpful because it gives comparisons on the treatments presented in previous chapters. This book also has multiple contributors. Almost all of the contributors work in the area of Psychology. Many of them teach and work for Universities. They also live all over the world. Some contributors are located in California, England, and even Italy. This tells me that the source is credible. Not only are the contributors highly knowledgeable in their professions, but they also come from around the world. This enables the book to have reliable and accurate information on a global scale. Since there is such a vast amount of information included in this book, I will definitely be using it in my research paper.
Treating Eating Disorders: Ethical, Legal and Personal Issues. Ed. Walter Vandereycken, Pierre
J.V. Beaumont. New York: New York UP, 1998.
Treating Eating Disorders goes into detail about the treatment of eating disorders. (Particularly anorexia.)It shows how treatments are controversial, always difficult, and usually protracted. This book depicts the reality that treatment is also often unsuccessful. There are many contributors which made this book possible. Most of the contributors are professors with vast backgrounds in psychology. A lot of these contributors have also been family therapists, psychotherapists, and have worked in eating disorder clinics. Their experience is important and beneficial because, anorexia has been proven to be a psychological disease. Each chapter not only states the title but also the contributors/authors. This book also addresses ethical considerations in the use of behavior modification programs in patients with anorexia. This part of the book is a historical perspective. It is very interesting, and kind of scary to read how invasive some of these treatments are. I will definitely use this book as a reference guide and source for my research paper.

Reading Reflection
I found the readings this week to be really good. The websites went over a lot of things that we read in last week’s Deadline. In Everything’s and Argument, I found the chapter on casual arguments to be really interesting. After reading it, I’m debating whether or not I should use one of these types of arguments in my research topic. It makes a lot of sense with what I will be writing about. In chapter 11, the section entitled “Proposals about Practices,” was very applicable. I will be writing about the practices of treating anorexia so this part was beneficial to me.

Deadline Reflection
There was a lot of stuff that had to be done this week. It was a really busy week for me with mid-terms up at NAU, but all in all it was successful. I learned a lot from doing the activities in the outline. The best part was doing the Toulman assignment. That really helped put me back on track with where I needed to be. Before doing the assignment I was trying to figure out the opposing views of my question and how it would work. Now I have that all figured out! So that is definitely a relief. I feel that this week I have made more progress towards my goal. That is always a good thing. I look forward to next week and putting my draft together.

Toulman Outline
Project’s Claim: Controversial Treatment of AnorexiaReason
#1: Self-Help-Group Support
• Warrant/Principle: People who are motivated and disciplined can overcome this disease. o Backing: If you set your mind to do something one can achieve almost anything. Support groups are a big help with this method.
• Evidence #1: Support Groups are there to support and encourage sufferers when they are going through rough times. o Warrant/Principle: Individuals in the groups find that they can bounce ideas off of one another, get objective feedback about body image, and gain an increasing amount of support.
Backing: The support of others is a powerful thing.
Objection: People who suffer from this disease shouldn’t be looking to anyone other than medical doctors.
Rebuttal: People have cured many things without doctors: drug abuse, alcoholism, disease, and even cancer. The important thing is that you are well informed about the complexities of what you are trying to cure.
• Evidence #2: The support and encouragement of others gives us hope when we are struggling through difficult situations.
Reason #2: Hospitalization• Warrant/Principle: When medical complications occur, the best idea is to seek hospitalization.
Objection: What can the doctors do for you if you don’t want help?
Rebuttal: Hospitalization may not cure anorexia, but if a sufferer is experiencing severe complications the medical doctors usually can help keep you alive.
• Warrant/Principle: Issues such as heart irregularities, dehydration, and severe malnutrition can be fixed by doctors and nurses.
Backing: A patient would be under constant watch. This would insure that if any other complications occurred that they would be able to receive treatment immediately.
Objection: Anorexia isn’t that big of an issue. One can get over it without seeking medical help.
Rebuttal: Anorexia is considered to be the most severe of any mental disorder. Anorexia has the highest death rate over any other mental illness.
• Evidence #1: WebMD stated that anorexia has the highest death rate. o Warrant/Principle: The results of studies are to be trusted and valued over mere opinion.
Objection: What was your methodology for conducting this study?
Rebuttal: This study has been observed by doctors and psychologists since the beginning of anorexia. (Over thirty years ago.) Doctors and psychologists have more experience with the disease and those afflicted with it than anyone else.
• Evidence #2: Heart irregularities and severe malnutrition are issues that need to be addressed right away.o Warrant/Principle: Professionals have the most experience with this issue. When the issue becomes this severe it is not wise to try and fix it on your own. Once you receive adequate treatment and aren’t in such danger then go ahead and try to overcome the problem.
Reason #3: Psychotherapy
• Warrant/Principle: Individual, family, or group therapy all tend to be beneficial.o Backing: Family therapy can help solve conflicts that may be part of the cause for someone to be anorexic.
• Evidence #1: Many anorexics are driven to anorexia due to a stressful environment, divorce, or other stressful matters. o Objection: A person still can choose whether or not they want to eat. Stress isn’t the only reason why someone would choose to starve themselves.
Rebuttal: Not having support from family, or feeling unaccepted or wanting to “perfect,” in the eyes of family members can take a serious toll on someone’s mental health.
• Evidence #2: Group Therapy is extremely helpful.
Objection: It is just as beneficial to talk to friend and family.
Rebuttal: Being around a group of people who know what you are going through, and have felt the way you feel is extremely powerful. It gives the person suffering with the disease a sense of acceptance and normality. Often sufferers are seeking acceptance.
• Evidence #3: Individual Therapy
Objection: Why does one need to go to therapy? All the person has to do is start eating again.
Rebuttal: The obsession with one’s own body image is one of the most powerful and difficult to change. It isn’t as easy as saying “just eat something.” The issue goes beyond the physical and becomes psychological.

Writing Project Reflection
The writing project this week helped me out so much. I had a bunch of ideas in my head, but I wasn't sure which things would work and which things wouldn't. Going through the exercise I realized that I needed to change my research question. I am still writing about the same subject but instead of writing about the causes of anorexia, I am going to be writing about the treatment of anorexia. I wasn't able to come up with any strong opposing views for the causes. My new question should work out a lot better, plus a lot of the sources that I have been using for my previous question will also work for the question I will be writing about now. Overall, after doing the writing project I have a clear idea of the structure of my essay, and the opposing views that I will be addressing. It was a good experience.

Reading Reflection
I will be using a lot of the information that I read about in chapter 7 in my essay. Chapter had a lot of good information on helping me decide which evidence I should use to back up my argument. It also helped me understand how to effectively present my evidence. I found chapter 8 to be pretty interesting. I never really realized the impact that definitive arguments can have on society. In chapter 17 I learned about all the ways that we can make our arguments fallacies if we aren’t careful. I thought that the websites that we had to visit were very helpful. One site in particular that helped me with my organization was “Paradigm.” Paradigm showed that one you can organize your essay is into a “pyramid.” The more important stuff would go on top and it would take on a hierarchical form. I’m a visual person so keeping this in mind will help me out in the long run.

This week helped me realize some things that I need to work on in my annotated bibliography. For one, I need to find more information to go along with the sources I already have. After looking at my classmates bibliographies I realized that a lot of people have a lot more sources than I do. I feel that I should also try to find more sources. I don’t think there is a point where one could have too many sources. Plus it will also help me be more informed about my topic.
Overall the week has been productive. I feel that commenting on “The Case Against Coldplay” article helped me put into use a lot of the information I have been reading recently in Everything’s an Argument.

Grammar Assignment
“Who vs whom.” It’s a common misunderstanding for writers. Both are pronouns. After listening to this podcast I realized that I have often used “who,” without knowing it was out of context. For example, before listening to this tutorial, I would have asked some “Who do you like?” Instead of “Whom do you like?” After listening to the podcast I realize that you are only supposed to use who when you are referring to the subject in the sentence or clause. If you are referring to the object then you should use whom.

The Case Against Coldplay
Audience: Coldplay fans, and haters as well as anyone who likes music.
Purpose: To try and prove that Coldplay is overrated and over ambitious. He also explains why he legitimately does not admire their music. He is trying to validate his opinion on the subject.
Context: …?
Topic: The enormous and ever growing fans of the band.
Author: Jon Pareles, a pop music critic for the New York Times.
In this article one of Jon’s excuses for not liking the band is because of Chris Martin’s whiny voice and heartfelt lyrics. He says that “ When he moan his verses, Mr. Martin can sound so sorry for himself that there’s hardly room to sympathize for him, and when he’s not mixing metaphors, he fearlessly slings clichés.” Jon acknowledges the fact that most of Coldplay’s lyrics are based on human frailty and emotion.
I believe that a lot of what Jon has to say in his article deals with the Pathos argument. Not only is he emotionally invested but so are the many Coldplay fans who read his article with awe and distain. I know because I was one of them! A lot of the things he complains about as to why he doesn’t like them are why so many people do. Their music is relatable and touching to a multitude of people.

After reviewing Jacqueline’s and Brittany’s bibliographies, I realized that there are some things I need to work on for mine. One major thing is an opening paragraph about my research subject. I did not include this in my draft. I was not sure if it was necessary, but after looking at other classmates bibliographies I realized that I should have one as well. I also believe that I need to work on giving more background when citing about my sources. I think that I could gather more information about the sources that would lead to a better annotated bibliography.
I had one peer review comment from Ashley Oberst. She gave me a helpful tip about the layout of my bibliography. After receiving her comment, I now realize that there should be more of a distinguished break between my citations and paragraphs. This will hopefully lead to a bibliography that is easier to read and not confusing.

After reading the article on arguments from Purdue, I began to worry about my argument. I believe that the causes of anorexia are debatable. I also think that people widely accept anorexia as a result of societal influences. I guess it will be my job to persuade the audience that there are many other causes besides the influences of society. In chapter 5 of Everything’s and Argument I learned that one performs a rhetorical analysis by analyzing how well the components of your argument work together to persuade the readers. I realized that there are a lot of things to think about when composing an argument, such as: What is my purpose? Who is my audience? What ethos does it create? How does the I use language work to persuade the audience? There are so many things to think about that it can kind of be overwhelming. I was confused as to whether I was supposed to read chapter nine on Definitions or chapter 8 on Evaluations. In the syllabus it said Chapter 8-Evaluations. I decided to read chapter nine on evaluation. All of the information on evaluations in this chapter was very helpful.

D#7 Reflection
Putting together eight sources for my annotated bibliography was a lot more work than I thought it would be. There was a lot of information that I had to find about each source, and I had to think a lot about the potential of each source. However, it was a really good way to decide which sources I would use and which ones I wouldn’t use in my research paper. I am a lot further in the development of my research paper from completing the annotated bibliography. From looking at other students profiles I was able to better understand the assignment objectives. I was able to see how everyone included all the information required for each source that they provided. The readings this week were helpful and I now know what kind of argument I will be using in my research paper.
