Genre Analysis
anthologies, etc. as well as introducing my topic, which was overpopulation of animals as for the
audience to understand my genre analysis in a much deeper way. Later on, I defined
pathos and logos on both chosen genres. For this analysis, I chose a digital documentary source
and a monograph; by comparing these two genres, I learned of how different sources gather their
information and use ethos, pathos and logos to get to connect with their audience. I also learned
that writing an analysis is not just analyzing the source; instead, it’s also giving your opinion as
to whether the use of ethos, pathos and logos was effective and giving an opinion as to whether
Literature Review
For this assignment, I formally explained the chosen problem by introducing my topic; animal
overpopulation, as the topic I would be working with for the semester as well the mission to
raising awareness of this community problem to my audience. This literature review contains
detailed information on animal overpopulation, its problems and possible solutions to improving
it. Later on in this review, fourteen sources were required in order to explain animal
overpopulation from different points of view as well as different approaches as to how the role of
the community can also help improve this global problem. Finally, four research questions
concerning the chosen topic were added that would later on be answered in another assignment.
While creating this literature review, the most difficult task was gathering up the sources.
Fourteen sources are not easy to gather in an instant, therefore for this review I learned how to
revise well-structured sources and to check twice before including them in one of my
assignments as well as truly analyzing and picking my sources of information wisely and in the
Final Project/Video
For this last assignment of the semester, I joined research team #2 which had the topic of
racism. We created a video raising awareness of how racism has improved but it still a problem
we as a community continue to see. Working with teams is somewhat better than working alone
since one gets to be helped and help others as well but it also has its drawbacks such as getting
together, organizing the project and creating it. As any other method of working together,
creating a video is never easy, for it starts all in the head and works its way through the creation
of a well-structured film. The most difficult task we as a group had to overcome was getting
together to actually create the video, gathering up the information was easy, but the
unavailability of the team members was a major drawback. For this final project I not only
learned and improved my skills of working together with my classmates but I also grew aware of
the many problems that exist around the world and didn’t recognize them before as important at
all.
