Today I will be writing about how people from 2 different occupations or careers would look at the same topics in 2 different perspectives. I will be pointing out moves that the writers make and explain which writer had a better argument. I will be basing it off of supporting details and resources that each writer has given. I have found 2 different types of articles on drugs and crime. The first article I would say is more like government perspective on drugs and crime. The second article was more looked at from a journalist point of view.
The first article was from a government website and talked mainly about statistics and fats. Being as though its on a government website the information and resources are more trust worthy. The article was very informal also it gave all sorts of resources. By giving resources I would call that “The resource move”. For example the article stated “In 2004, 17% of state prisoners and 18% of federal inmates said they committed their current offense to obtain money for drugs. These percentages represent a slight increase for federal prisoners (16% in 1997) and a slight decrease for state prisoners (19% in 1997).
Source: BJS, Drug Use and Dependence, State and Federal Prisoners, 2004, NCJ 213530, October 2006 and Substance Abuse and Treatment, State and Federal Prisoners, 1997, NCJ 172871, January 1999.
The writer of the article made a move called “capturing authorial action” move. He made this move by letting the readers know what the inmates claimed they had caught their cases based on. The writer lets the reader know that these facts are accurate because its based off surveys from the actual inmates them selves.
In the article the writer also use a move called the “camparison”move. The article stated “In 2002 about a quarter of convicted property and drug offenders in local jails had committed their crimes to get money for drugs, compared to 5% of violent and public order offenders. Among state prisoners in 2004 the pattern was similar, with property (30%) and drug offenders (26%) more likely to commit their crimes for drug money than violent (10%) and public-order offenders (7%). In federal prisons property offenders (11%) were less than half as likely as drug offenders (25%) to report drug money as a motive in their offenses.
The move that the writer made was a good move to use and a very informal move. I think the author chose to use this move because he wanted to let the readers have some type of ideas around which times these offenses occurred. If I was to give this move a grade I would give it a “A” because I think its very useful. I like that the article is more set up into graphs showing the number of homicides and the number of homicides that were drug related. The graphs have so much detail from year dates to numbers of homicides. http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/03/us/philadelphia-drug-bust-house-seizure/
Heres an example of how the graph is set up
Year Number of homicides Percent drug related
1987 17,963 4.9 %
1988 17,971 5.6
1989 18,954 7.4
1990 20,273 6.7
1991 21,676 6.2
1992 22,716 5.7
1993 23,180 5.5
1994 22,084 5.6
1995 20,232 5.1
1996 16,967 5.0
1997 15,837 5.1
1998 14,276 4.8
1999 13,011 4.5
2000 13,230 4.5
2001 14,061 4.1
2002 14,263 4.7
2003 14,465 4.7
2004 14,210 3.9
2005 14,965 4.0
2006 15.087 5.3
2007 14,831 3.9
I can also name this example a move. I’m going to make up this move and I think I should call it the “show the reader visually” move. I call this move the “show the reader visually” move because the writer actually show you the charts and graphs. His arguments were based on facts and statistics.
Being as though this article was on a government website (www.bjs.gov). I would say it was looked at from a government point of view . A person who might want to study a topic like this might have degree in math and criminal justice. This article was more so statistically driven. There was a lot of logos shown in this article and mainly numbers.
The next article I have found was a article that would be looked at from a journalist point of view. This article was on the same topic but was looked at differently because of difference in occupations. The article is called parents house seized after son drug bust. Written by Pamela Brown.
This article was about a family that lived in the Philadelphia suburbs. Christos Sourovelis (The teenage boy father) was very hard working man. he worked 6 days a week some times 7. His parents had no idea he was selling drugs till the cops showed up one day. Because of thie son wrong doing the parnts have got thier home taken away. Chridtos stated "Im a working guy. I work every day, six days a week, even seven if I have to," m a working guy. I work every day, six days a week, even seven if I have to," Sourovelis says. One day this past March, without warning, the government took his house away, even though he and his wife, Markella, have never been charged with a crime or accused of any wrongdoing. says.

This article differs from the government article beacuse its more so set up like a journalist would set it up. It haves different moves and approches in it. It was based off of interviews and bassically close up. Kinda like a movie. These 2 articles ar on th same topic but yet are looked at differntly be cause of the different occupation one has. One article was more numbers and statistics while the other article was in eassy form. Thats how these to occupations see one topic in different perspectives.

Thlog
Today blog is going to be about how i feel bout whats going on in class nd how i feel about my wp2 paper. I feel somewhat comfortable with it. I feel like at this point in class its "crunch time". The projects are coing back to back. I will say that I am going to try my best to cmplete all projects. In my wp2 im going to be writing about crime and drugs.
I think I have found 2 articles with great examples in them. One article shows satistics and the other one is set up more like an eassy or article. From my understanding I understanding I need to pick to occupations with 2 articles and explain who had a better argument. What writing moves they have made? What coventions? Rhetorical writing?
I am going to try to add vocab words through out the whole paper. By using th vocab words im assuming that the eassy will automatically fall into place by doing so. I just wanna do good in the class and i will put all efforts to try to past.
I know sometimes I get distracted at home with the kids and other stuff like tv an cell phone. but for this wp2 im going to take a different approach writing this paper. im going to bloc my self out from every one else and try to focus. Thats the best i can do.

thlog redo . about class
Today im going to be writing about the intensity of the class and how i feel about the work that we are doing. I feel like the work is kinda hard for the most part. I have took a 2 year break from school so when it comes to thinking I have to get back in the creative thinking mind set again. I think I have great potential to be a good writer with more time and practice. The projects are back to back so its a little frustrating. Sometimes if I fall behind in class its because problems at home or im busy with my daughter. I keep my daughter 5 days out the week and she can be a handful at times. Not to mention im a single father , so i get cuaught up a lot watching after her.
I can say that I understand the cousre more this week then I did last week. I never really understood genres at first but now I know just what it is. It was just a little confusion because you were throwing all type of information at us all in one day. Certain terms and other things, I would be getting them mixed up and confused. I really do try to do the work ,working around my home schedule. Even if I might not fully understand, I still wont come in class with no work at all. Its better to try and get part of a grade then to not do nothing at all and get big fat 0!
I completly understand "moves". This paper is a lot easier then genres. I might still need a little help but for the most part I understand. Something I think would be usful for class is pairing classmates every class to make sure that thier other class mate is on track and if not give them the help they need. The first time you paired us in a group that helped me a lot because I can use some of my class mates ideas to come up with some of my own. I like to take my time learning something personally. Growing up I never been a fast learner I like to take my time doing things. It feels like everything is moving so fast but i will try my best to keep up.!

Making Moves
I chose a text written by a teacher its called
I chose a text written by a teacher its called
"What 20 Years Of Research Has Taught Us about The Chronic Effects Of Marijuana" by Alice .G Walton. Im going to pin point some moves that the the teacher used while writing this article.
The first move I noticed that the teacher made was the "Informal Move". I made this move up, I call it the informal move because in the beginning of the article the writer gave the reader some information about how long the study has been going on for. The writer stated "Though researchers have been studying the effects of marijuana for decades, the science has really exploded just in the last 20 years, due in part to better study methods, and also spurred by the growing interest in legalization" (Forbes.com). I think the author might have chosen this move just to give the reader a little insight or evidence of research before the reader dive all the way in to the article. I think that this does a lot for the text be cause you would think a reader would want to know some facts before getting deep into the text. http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwalton/2014/10/07/what-20-years-of-research-has-taught-us-about-the-chronic-effects-of-marijuana/#d9f9f52d25df
The second move that I noticed the athuor made ws the "They say" move. I would call this the "They say" move because the author lets the reader know what other researchers has suggested or just letting the reader know the different resources. In the article the writer stated " But the researchers suggest that with increasing legalization should come increasing public awareness of the sometimes-serious effects of chronic use''. The aurthor might have choose this move because its a good way to let the reader know what other researchers think or sugest. This move makes the tex a little more informal. If I was to grade this move I would give it an ''A'' because I think its a important move to make and is helpful for readers.
The third move I have noticed the author has made is called the "bullet point move" . This is a move I made up on my own. I think the author chose this move because its very helpful to break down different points that the writer is trying to make. By doing this I think the reader would get a better understanding in what they are reading. The atuthor chose this move because its easier to comprehend a text that is in bullet points. i would grade this move an "B" because its helpful to use these bullet points but to me, using bullet points is not in a eassy form.
The next move that I noticed the writer made was the "Compare" move. This another move that i have made up on my own. The writer used this move when comparing the acute effects of Marijuana and the chronic effects. The author stated "The acute effects aren’t so bad: No one has ever died from a natural marijuana overdose, the study found. Driving while high on marijuana does seem to double the risk of a car crash, which is of course heightened if there is also alcohol in the system". Then the writer also stated"Marijuana can be addictive. But only for some people. About 10% of all users seem to develop dependence syndrome, and for those who start in adolescence, the number is more like 1 in 6. The author picked this move because its a way to tell the reader the good effects of marijuana and also the bad effects. This is a good way to give the reader insights on both effects.
The final move I noticed in this article is called the "Making concessions while still standing your ground" move. An example of this move is when the writer stated"What’s clear is that marijuana has a number of adverse effects over years of use – in certain people, anyway. What’s not so clear is how policy should be informed by the science. But the researchers suggest that with increasing legalization should come increasing public awareness of the sometimes-serious effects of chronic use''. (forbes.com). The author picked this move because this move tells the reader whats fact and whats not. I give this move an ''C'' because its not really too effective to me as a reader.
All in all these moves helps readers become better writers. If a reader can spot these moves, they are showing growth in thier reading skills. Thes moves are important because you van use these moves when writing an essay of your owns. Spotting moves is a great way to perfect your eassy. Use them!

Political Genres
I have found literary genre in Political Issues that I thought was interesting. Political issues may be the topic , but when it comes to genres I have found 3 Political issues that can be considered as genres. These issues are drugs, crime, and education. I know your probably thinking to your self whats genre right? I know that when you heard the word "genre" the first thing that probably came to your head was music genres. Well I'm here to tell you that, thats not the only kind of genres. Genre can be any thing that can be written in texual form.
The first political issue that I have found to be a genre is "Drugs". This issue can be considered a genre because I have found different ways people writes about "drug abuse" or "war on drugs". For example I have found a mini article about Bernie Sanders agreeing with rapper Jayz about ending the war on drugs. Rapper Jayz had tweeted " The war on drugs is an epic fail. Why are white men poised to get rich doing the same thing African Americans been going to prison for?". (us news.com). Bernie Sanders replied to that tweet "Jayz is right we need to end the war on drugs".
The war on drugs exploded the U.S prison population disproportionately locking away blacks and latinos. Our prison population grew more then 900 percent. When the war on drugs began in 1971 the prison population was at 200,000. Today it is over 2,000,000. The article stated "Venture capitalists migrate to [states where marijuana has been legalized] to open multibillion dollar operations, but former felons can't open a dispensary," Jay Z continues. "Lots of times, those felonies were drug charges caught by poor people who sold drugs for a living but are now prohibited from participating in one of the fastest-growing economies" http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-15/bernie-sanders-backs-jay-z-call-to-end-war-on-drugs
The second political issue that I have found to be a genre is crime rate. I have found another form of writing about this topic. Which makes it a genre. I have found another article about this topic that was on Cleveland.com. The article stated that CLEVELAND, Ohio - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made violent crime in American cities a major issue in his campaign. Inner cities, he says, are a "living hell" of increasing violence and homicide". Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton says the opposite. In the first debate on Sept. 26, she said, "Violent crime is one-half of what it was in 1991." The question you might wanna know is who is right? Well in a weird way both of them are right.! Trump is correct because in some cities the violent crime rat has went up in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Clinton is correct that while the numbers have spiked in some major cities, the national trend shows a steady decrease over several decades.http://www.cleveland.com/articles/19556546/do_you_feel_safe_donld_trump_hillary_clinton.amp

The third political issue that i found to be a genre is "education". Education is a big part of America's political issues. I decided that this issue was a genre because I have found a couple different ways people write about education. I have found a news paper article that talks about why American students are falling behind. (USnews.com). In the article it stated that the fact that the nation’s high school graduation rate this year rose
to the highest rate in three decades, that college enrollment has grown,
particularly for Hispanic students, and that fourth and eighth graders
saw small gains in both reading and math on the 2013 National Assessment
of Educational Progress, known as the Nation’s Report Card, which was
released Nov. 7. A secretary named Arne Ducan stated “In a knowledge-based, global economy, where education is more important
than ever before, both to individual success and collective prosperity,
our students are basically losing ground,” Duncan said. “We’re running
in place, as other high performing countries start to lap us.”http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/12/03/american-students-fall-in-international-academic-tests-chinese-lead-the-pack
Now I know your probaly thinking what makes all these genres "genres"? Well I have found different conventions and terms in writing that makes these genres "genres".
1.Rhetorical writing
2.Logos
3.Conventions
4.Ethos
5.Pathos
I know if your new to genres and your looking at this list of words your probably thinking to your self what the hell do those mean?! These are just some of the terms you can use to check if a peice of writing is a genre.
All these articles all had theses terms in common. I would say that all the aritcles had rhetorical writing in them. Rhetorical writing is when a writer is trying to persude you through writing. All three of the articles were trying to persude the reader to belive what they were talking about in the article. Whats the purpose of the article if it cant be persuasive? The articles also showed examples of Logos. Logos is when it is apeeling to the audience sense of logic, facts, and satisistics. In all three articles they were showing examples of satisitics and facts based on research. These articles also showed different conventions. Conventions are the ingrediants or charicteristics to identify a text. The article showed conventions by having different aproaches and appels to the audince. The articles had different forms of writing that makes up these coventions. Ethos played a part in these articles too. Ethos is the credibility of a writer or rhetor. These articles all gave credibility to the writers in the beginning of each article. The last thing I noticed these articles had in common was Pathos. Pathos is reading something that evolks emotion. All the genres I picked all are major issues in america. People actully care about these things. For a person to care about these things such as my self, reading these articles evolked emotion because I can relate to all these genres in real life.
Now I know your probaly thinking what makes all these genres "genres"? Well I have found different conventions and terms in writing that makes these genres "genres".
1.Rhetorical writing
2.Logos
3.Conventions
4.Ethos
5.Pathos
I know if your new to genres and your looking at this list of words your probably thinking to your self what the hell do those mean?! These are just some of the terms you can use to check if a peice of writing is a genre.
All these articles all had theses terms in common. I would say that all the aritcles had rhetorical writing in them. Rhetorical writing is when a writer is trying to persude you through writing. All three of the articles were trying to persude the reader to belive what they were talking about in the article. Whats the purpose of the article if it cant be persuasive? The articles also showed examples of Logos. Logos is when it is apeeling to the audience sense of logic, facts, and satisistics. In all three articles they were showing examples of satisitics and facts based on research. These articles also showed different conventions. Conventions are the ingrediants or charicteristics to identify a text. The article showed conventions by having different aproaches and appels to the audince. The articles had different forms of writing that makes up these coventions. Ethos played a part in these articles too. Ethos is the credibility of a writer or rhetor. These articles all gave credibility to the writers in the beginning of each article. The last thing I noticed these articles had in common was Pathos. Pathos is reading something that evolks emotion. All the genres I picked all are major issues in america. People actully care about these things. For a person to care about these things such as my self, reading these articles evolked emotion because I can relate to all these genres in real life.

Genre in Dance
I have found literary genre in Hip-Hop dance that i
thought was interesting. Dance may be the topic but when it
comes to genre "Hip-Hop" is a type of genre. There are also
many different types of dance genres. Usually when people
think of the word genre the first thing that person might think about is music. Well I'm here to let you know that music, dance, or anything that has to do with music are not the only types of genres. Genres can be in things you do and see everyday. My definition of genre: Anything that is in written or textual form.
Like I said in the paragraph above , Dance the topic but Hip-Hop is the genre. Hip-Hop evolved from the music style that was first introduced in the 1970s. Powered by the great popularity in media, movies, and television programs. Hip-Hop dances found a great foothold on the United States, France, United Kingdom, and South Karea. Journalist from various online sites writes about Hip-Hop dance. For example; Hotnewhiphop.com has dance trends articles up there.
A reader could read this article in different perspectives. some people might read this article rhetorically or even figure out what the conventions are of this certain genre. For example in the article I read on Hotnewhiphop.com, I read it rhetorically. I think it was rhetorical because it was persuasive in a way. A quote from the article stated "These dances in a way link all of us together and allow everyone to let go and be silly, and have a little fun.
Some one thats reading a piece like this would scan through it because it could have some informal or important details about genre. Someone will read this article like a writer because it will help them get a better understanding of rhetorically writing or writing conventions. This article also showed logos. The article showed logos by stating that "Hip-Hop dances are trends today and go viral all the time online. People from all around the world see these dances . Its a proven fact how many peaople have viewed these dance videos all around the world.
This article also showed ethos. Before you get a chance to read the article, at the top of the page the article gives credibility to the writer or author. Pathos for me played a big part also. Me personally reading the article felt some type of emotion as in being excited to read about it because I love to dance . In the article I found different strategies we use when discussing genre .
1.Rhetorical Writing
2.Logos
3.Ethos
4.pathos
5.Conventions
This article shows conventions. It explains what ingredients was put together to make these dance videos go viral . For example , Facebook getting that video shared around millions of times , or even you tube.
