Informal Writing Assignment
James Porter’s article in Writing About Writing was very interesting. It contained information on intertextuality. I found this really neat and I was excited to see the different examples in class today. It gave me a better understanding of the whole idea. The example of the intertextuality in Family Guy was absolutely hilarious, and they portrayed it so everyone could follow along. I think that ran very well with his idea of acceptability. A lot of people watch and “accept” Family Guy which makes it a perfect example of intertextuality. After reading these past couple articles, I have an understanding of how many different ways there are to write. All this time, I thought you would just write what you thought was right. But no, you can change the way you write by the voice you use, your point of view, you can even trick people to think different things. So far, I have found the topic of intertextuality to be pretty neat. I have never been introduced to such a thing. I mean I had seen it in different shows: South Park, Family guy, The Office, but I never knew there was a name for it and different articles written about it. I think we should keep studying this topic and keep watching example(Family Guy!).
