Extra Points Option: Individual Office Hours Visit

May 2, 2017 Matthew Matos extra points

This visit was done to discuss my final project and discuss the first essay with Professor Hoskins. During this meeting, Professor Hoskins showed me Madison Shuler’s work on Edgewood from his last semester’s class, and in doing so, I got a better idea of how I could structure my website and really “own” my site.

FAGE Yogurt and Humans

May 2, 2017May 2, 2017 jm5121a commonplace, WRTG106F16

Commonplace 10 While eating a FAGE Total Split Cup yogurt earlier today I was intrigued by the unique concept of two distinct areas. One for the plain yogurt and another for the topping. However, when the fruit gets poured into the plain yogurt, it creates this magical taste. You see, the plain yogurt is so […]

A Mosaic of Subcultures

April 30, 2017May 4, 2017 fl9862a Extra Stuff, WRTG, wrtg101s17

During the month of February, I attended Professor Hoskins’s office hours and fell upon some interesting revelations and a newfound point of view for the direction of my research. In our College Writing 101 class, my peers and I have been asked to take any site in Washington, D.C. an analyze it in terms of […]

Commonplace; Supermarket Flowers

April 28, 2017April 28, 2017 fl9862a commonplace, WRTG, wrtg101s17

“A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved.” Would you rather have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers” narrates the beautiful tragedy of mourning the death of one’s beloved grandmother. He does this by outlining the routine he had to perform after the woman died (such as fluffing […]

Office Hour Visit 4/24/17

April 27, 2017May 1, 2017 jm5121a Extra Stuff, WRTG106F16

During my office hour visit with Professor Hunter Hoskins, we took a look at my revised Reading Analysis 4. At first, it lacked specificity and thorough analysis. I was able to focus on Fleming’s argument then continue from there. In the first draft, I failed to address the sociospatial dialectic which is the main idea […]

Commonplace; A Bank of Smiles

April 26, 2017 fl9862a commonplace, WRTG, wrtg101s17

I thought this particular finding would be an amazing thing to share on my online platform. I discovered this gem as I was working this morning. My co-worker and I decided to clean up the clutter in our front desk to bring it up to dead storage. After we carried up a bunch of paint cans […]

Commonplace; Salimos de Aquí

April 25, 2017April 27, 2017 fl9862a commonplace, WRTG, wrtg101s17

Salimos de aquí de un paraiso pérdido… Salimos de aquí de la perla privilegiada de la sombra asociada de la envidia caribeña y de la estupidez isleña de sentirse en menosprecio por ser de aquí… Y así salimos descalzos y así aprendimos sin querer For my final Commonplace for WRTG 101, I am going to […]

The moral of the story is there is no moral of the story.

April 24, 2017April 30, 2017 fl9862a WRTG, wrtg101s17

The moral of the story. It’s a fallacy. A trap. At least this is what Professor Hunter Hoskins makes of the concept. One afternoon in early April, I was sat in his office dissecting the main meat of my final research project when the instructor planted this seed for thought in my head. What he meant […]

Fleming’s Final Chapter; Schooling City

April 24, 2017April 24, 2017 fl9862a readings, WRTG, wrtg101s17

In his final chapter of City of Rhetoric, David Fleming contends that being part of the city is embedded into human nature, and we should strive to embrace and preserve this while respecting and improving the argumentative comfort zone that is the city within and without each of us. In other words, as humans, we cling […]
