DARK PATTERNS

• when you use websites/apps, you don’t read every word on every page, you skim read & make assumptions
A personal experience: when I wanted to order an item on an instagram page they made it seem like it was an easy purchase but they asked for more information other than just my credit card info.

IM IGNITED

- is life an allusion?
- why do stereotype?
- Do we really need what we learn throughout high school? 

HOPEPUNK

HOPEPUNK- genuinely/sincerely caring about something, requiring bravery + strength.
• standing up for other people
• fighting for what you believe in

~I think authors think it matters, so they can help the reader seek something they truly care about. By them talking about what they care about, the reader might find what they care about.
  • authors think it’s important for others to find themselves through things they love

LAST CENTURY’S WRITING STYLES

Genre: a specific category

Naturalism: bigger than people, people will never make a difference, man will always lose

Modernism: 

Liminal: refers to a state of being

- when you aren’t what you used to be, but still aren’t what you’re going to become

- “in between” phase

ARGUE THIS

•syllogism: simplest form of logical argument
    - 3 parts: major/minor premise, conclusion
•vadility: does the conclusion follow my premises?
                - a good truth will be good, valid
