Thlog #5

Well here is this weeks thlog. This week we worked talked about “moves” again in order to prepare us for our PB1B as well as writing project 2. We also talked about different disciplines since that is what wp2 calls for. Two scholarly articles from different disciplines. I found the They Say, I say appendix useful because it helped me with my WP2 with finding some common moves that authors make now. I found searching for moves in the scholarly articles somewhat difficult because the way they are set-up so formally makes it difficult to read. The moves tend to get lost within the article and it is a hassle to go through the article extremely slowly in order to find them. The wp2 did connect with me in real life because I chose family abuse as my topic. My family actually experienced family abuse at the hands of my mother, more so my two younger sisters. My mother would neglect them and threaten them if they did something she did not like. She would also force my sister to go to the hospital for no reason and be injected with different things probably getting her actually sick since she did not need the meds. SO this writing project hit home because I chose a topic that my family personally experienced. I found on article interesting though for my writing project by the LA Times, which said a study done in 1986 showed that most women murderers experienced some form family abuse. Be it while they were a child or in an abusive relationship.
