1: Cuddy says through faking it, one can acquire a Discouse
2: Gee talks about “Mushfake Discourse” and this relates to Cuddy because of the examples she gives about the job interviews. If you aren’t 100% there, you can fake it and make it look like someone you are not.
3: Cuddy talks about that MBA student and not only faking it tip you make it, but faking it tip you become it. This applies here as well.
Counter Argument: I think Sarah is right and I need to incorporate more counter arguments. Throughout the paper, I am just arguing for my point, but not strengthening the quality with counter-arguments. In an argumentative paper, counter-arguments are very important, and without them, ones argument is not as strong. I must add some counter-arguments.
Opinions: Sarah is right again. I did integrate some opinion in my essay but I could definitely use more. I did think it was difficult to write an opinion paper but use so much of the works of two different writers. But I need to insert my opinions in more to strengthen my argument or claim.
Introduction: Justin is right. My introduction is kind of lousy. I do think introductions are very hard, but I can work on this to strengthen my final draft. I do not engage the reader very much in my introduction, and that is important in an introduction paragraph.
I found it interesting when Gee talks about “filtering” on page fifteen. He says “Filtering is a process whereby aspects of the language, attitudes, values and other elements of certain types of secondary Discourses are filtered into primary Discourse. He is saying that some secondary Discourses can influence your primary Discourse (The way you grew up; Discourse in your home) and I find this intriguing. This is very important and I will add it to my final draft.
