"But that you're only getting ready to say nice to meet you/to somebody you never knew/ You" Faith Marie
Hello, this blog is about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on me. The Coronavirus has affected me the most personally. It affected me on a personal level because of my identity as an Asian American. My family uses WeChat, a popular messaging app in Asia, to communicate with extended family. Throughout this pandemic, they have sent videos showing increased hatred towards Asians or Asian Americans. Some videos show people using weapons to severely beat, or use guns to kill them in Chinatown. Other videos show them being kicked off transport or discover that their property has been vandalized. Most videos in common reveal the perpetrators scream, shout, or yell derogatory names or tell them to leave the country. While this crisis has caused an increased hatred towards colored people, it targeted the Asian population and its sub-races first. Hatred towards Asians and its sub-races reached the White House in February 2020. President Trump believed it was acceptable to call the Coronavirus "The Chinese Virus" or "The China Virus" because it originated in China. A woman in the press conference audience stated that she heard a White House official call the virus "Kung-flu". This caused major backlash from many Asian celebrities and the White House medical staff, stating that it was "inappropriate".

Hello, and welcome to my last blog. This blog is a reflection of my English Composition I course as a whole. I watched a video called Reflective Writing and read the article Genres in Academic Writing: Reflection. The process of documenting one's thoughts through writing is reflective writing. Reflective writing cannot happen without reflective thinking. Reflective thinking means to look back at a point in life and other surrounding points that connect to the future. Reflective writing, in the sense of academic writing, is looking back at how classes and experience brought a writer to the final product.
What is GRITT? GRITT means Genre awareness, Rhetorical awareness, Identity as an author, Theory of writing, and Transfer of writing. Genre Awareness: Genre awareness is... Rhetorical Awareness: Rhetorical awareness is... Identity as an Author: How are your past academic writing experiences different from your present experiences with writing in this course? How are the past and present experiences the same? How has it changed in this course? Include a conversation about naming and establishing a relationship with your author-self. Also discuss some or all of the following: being a blogger/vlogger, web site author, memoirist, research author, reflective author, found poet, counter-narrative writer, etc. Theory of Writing: How has this course impacted the way you define and value writing? Which composition concepts/terms do you most value? Include a one-sentence thesis or tag line that represents your theory. Transfer of Writing: How do you plan to use your growing writing knowledge to compose texts in future academic and non-academic contexts? Include a discussion about your writing processes, writing mindset/author identity, genre awareness, and rhetorical awareness. Conclude the conversation with a future scene of writing to illustrate how you might enact writing transfer in a different context. |
