Analysis

To me analysis means breaking down information step-by-step to prove a point or to look at a particular subject closely. In previous experience with analysis I have taken something as simple as writing process and analyzed how the person started writing and what they did during the process of writing a paper. During this assignment and the previous assignment we did in class with the puzzle I found the answer that I was looking for by working inside out. What I mean by this is I figured out the smaller picture before I figured out the bigger picture. In anaylzing a students writing process I watched her prewrite and I took notes of the steps she took and even how she moved her pencil. This way of writing worked for her and because I took time to analyze her I figured out how her entire process works in order to create a piece of writing that is best for her.

By analyzing how people write on Facebook/Twitter and in school I plan on having a few interviews or even possibly posting my own Facebook status or tweet to see what different people have to say. I can also try to figure out why people write the way that they do. From personal experience I could say that writing a certain way on these websites become a force of habit but others may disagree. I think it will be interesting to see what my peers have to say about this analysis and how others people opinions differ from mine.
