D12, HW1, Reading Reflection

In Chapter 15 on page 189 of The Bedford Researcher, it gives you a basic list with a description of how to revise your paper. It is much similar to some of the steps needed in this week's deadline. On page 203 it tells you what are the important parts of your paper and what you should focus on when revising, like spellings of every name and checking facts. In Chapter 16 on page 210-211 it explains how important design is. Your audience when reading through multiple pages expect to see some kind of navigation, like page numbers, etc. However, a lot of this text about design in this chapter would seem more appropriate when doing something with pictures, like a newspaper article. In Chapter 12 of Everything's an Argument, it goes over the power of punctuation on page 375. They say even a semicolon is powerful, as noted by Mary Gordon. On page 389 they are showing many quotes from both fictional and nonfictional characters. This is interesting because you are able to see many different types of style in this section.
