Shaggy Dog (group)

 

Practices (Activities) is the building tool that is most relevant to Shaggy Dog Stories because one must have some practice with these types of stories in order to understand their patterns.

After reading Shaggy Dog Stories, the question that we established as a group is: What kinds of knowledge does someone need to understand Shaggy Dog Stories? We think the questions on page 60 that would help analyze this would be: What social languages are involved? What sorts of grammatical patterns are involved? Are different languages mixed? How so?

Additionally, the kinds of categories and codes that would be relevant to answering those questions would include the following. The coding aspect would be understanding/knowledge of Shaggy Dog Stories. For example, the feature would be one will have to understand that the grammar in these stories are not always grammatically correct. Also, the pattern would include the following: always has a pun at the end, has many homonyms, miniature story with a plot, funny, and uses intertextuality to build a punch line. Last, the theory that we would propose to explain these patterns is social language is involved because this type of pattern is accepted with these types of stories.

Define Analysis

Analysis to me is when you look for a deeper meaning of what is asked for in the text. You start to see things that are not being showing but now that your viewing it in a different way, you start to see alot of menaing into what your looking for. G, explained that langauge is not just learning through languages, but through actions of the langauge. How I would go about useing G techniques I would now understand to look beyond a deeper visual outside of a text I might be reading, reading a book, looking at a picture, etc. To know that things don't always appear as they seem to be or look like.

What kind of writing studies research are you interested in working on?

The kind of writing research I'm interesting in is more toward the writing I will use in my future career job, as far as writing short articles or email promotional writings, marketing & promotions, magazine editorials, features, blogs, social media post, photo edits, or even assisting in the school systems with grading or editing English papers, etc. I will like to do as much research as possible about different skills or new technical advantages I can look forward to working with once I get my foot into the door. I'm open to do research also in the new technology field because this world today is almost tech based and I want to know the latest invention of technology use for my career field.
