RAP ---> Commonplace

Realizing that this class is coming to an end and our RAP is already done, Commonplace seems like a great way to end the quarter! Don't you agree? Well,I’ve noticed that the language in Commonplace is less formal than the RAP projects. Commonplace seems like they would be making a direct point or telling a story to students face to face.I think that some of the characteristics in Commonplace relate to something that actually comes to heart and that someone can learn or laugh from. It obviously has to fit a college-based audience that has heard of this situation or can relate to it. It should also be compelling to someone so there not falling asleep while reading it. I think that I will be able to re-imagine my topic from my RAP very well. I think that this transition shouldn’t be to hard since Rihanna and Chris Brown are two celebrities in comparable age with college students. Domestic violence in relationships is also very common in our age. In college is where we sometimes meet our future soul mate so choosing wisely or escaping a violent relationship can be tough. This advice could actually help people. I think this topic can be transitioned to become timely, compelling, and relevant all in one because it is important and still somewhat current news no one has really forgot about.My primary source came from youtube. Millions of people including college students use youtube so providing a familiar link about this topic makes me seem like they would want to watch the interview. It addresses people who need to be educated from Rihanna. My secondary sources will be able to give advice and are easily understandable for someone to become interested in. I envision my “ideal audience” to be college women who are being abused and can use Rihanna as an educator and hero for the same abusive situation. Guys also need to realize how harmful this can be for women and should learn not to even do it at all.I always have trouble framing an introduction. I believe that introducing Rihanna and domestic violence into one beginning will really relate by maybe asking question like have you ever been abused ect. ? I could provide ways to seek help that could powerfully lead abused victims to get out of their situation quickerI believe this work will offer Commonplace and their community to continue sharing not only interesting but stories that relate to actual issues happening. It could also provide informational evidence.Honestly, I wouldn’t add too much to Commonplace. The use of informal voice and the use of stories really get to the point.I want everyone who is commenting on my blog to maybe give me a helpful tip on how domestic violence in Rihanna’s situation can lead to helping college students at OSU. Also, if there is any other feedback you could offer, that would be nice.
