   New words don’t change a thing about the world. It does change our minds and how we think about the world. It can create links between seemingly unrelated things that didn’t seem to link until they get put together with a common link. Words like Plan B and Win-win are used so much everyone knows what it is but someone had to come up with Plan B and Win-win in the first place. Things like Black Lives Matter and #metoo makes us believe there is a new idea when in reality it is just bringing light to a bigger problem and adding a new fact.

   The brain is easy to trick because of us living in a world of rectangles and it forces us to think that it has a far and near side based on forced perspective.

   We need to guide the readers to the evidence, rather than immediately overwhelming them with information. If you overwhelm them it will make them stick to what they know and not allow them to be pursued. Don’t ask open-ended questions. Often specifics. Don’t promise that you have important information later. Never contradict your readers.

   Definition—Username (post to the Definition category and your Username category). Definition Rewrite—Username (post to the Definition Rewrite category and your Username category). Never touch the Definition post. Rewriting, feedback, and others happen on the Definition Rewrite post. At least two references.

   A person who learns a new word changes the definition to their use creating a new meaning or use for the word. This can either be misleading or misinterpretation. The illusion proves to one another that our brains can be manipulated to think what we want to see, These illusions challenge our brain comprehension at different levels. The metaphor of writing as if you were at a restaurant and how you want to be clear and formal. The 1000 word essay is going to be helpful for your counterintuitive essay and challenges the use of your white paper

   Quote: When we give people a new word, they will think they have a new fact. We discuss how individuals will make up things when they need them. It can change our perception of the world and with this, we can start to recognize that we connect a topic to another topic relating them to each other by finding things they have in common.

   Wake up
   – We live in a world that’s carpentered environment. Our minds fill areas with rectangles wherever we go because that’s what has been taught. When watching the video, the person demonstrates an illusion at the beginning that we didn’t understand because we assume that the object was facing a certain way however when it started turning around we see that wasn’t the case. This can be related to our essay because you can challenge an idea to your audience and force viewers to see a point of view of a result.

   Something from the bar? :
   – We compare asking for a drink from a bar you have never been to and have it relate to not having access to the information that creates that open end question. You got to ask a question that will answer “yes.” Your job as the author is to give the audience the information that they need to draw to that conclusion. When the audience faces too much data or too little information than the audience retreats from the claim you propose. You want to soften up the readers by serving and guiding your audience. You convince someone to see from your point of view. You will try to get the audience to agree with you as much as you can and for that, we need to establish trust.

   – How to write and how to serve are similar, stay in charge of the subject matter and guide your readers to the right conclusion. Waiters are charmers and so are writers, we need to be able to charm the audiences. You offer the audience specific details. You just have to share the best that you have and be efficient. You treated it like everyone is the expert and make sure you sell the exact thing you want.

   Definition/Categorical Argument
   When you publish your Definition/Categorical Argument you are to
   – Publish your text and references into a new post (Definition – Username)
   – Copy and paste your text and references into a new post at the same time (Definition Rewrite – Username)

   The video showing the illusion of the window was very interesting. The rubik’s cube looked like it was floating and the ruler looked like it was going through it. The window makes the illusion that its going back and forth but really it’s going in a circular motion. Our brains our easily tricked in these situations.

   Then we discussed our first portfolio task that is due next week. We talked about how we should properly set it up and the requirements that we should follow. I hope to do well on this assignment.

   “Give the people a new word, and they think they have a new fact.” – We make facts up when we need them. When we give people a new word, it changes our perception of the world. When we recognize new things, the world as we perceive it changes. Someone must have created the terms we use in our everyday language like “Plan B” and “win-win.” When we hear these terms, we know exactly how to use them and what they mean. They are just part of our vocabulary.
   People rename a category of things.
   We view certain images as rectangles or squares because we live in a world of them.
   We live in a “carpentered environment.”
   We have an ability in writing to challenge a point of view and change people’s perspectives.
   We can name our terms.
   “Something from the bar?” – lamest question asked in a restaurant or a bar. In writing, we have to get that first nod from our readers to make them keep reading and reading. We have to provide evidence (like a menu) to persuade our readers with something new, something counterintuitive.
   Our job as a writer is to serve. We have to convince someone to see something from our point of view.
   Servers are writers. They are the subject matter experts. They have already examined the pertinent evidence. They have come to the right conclusions. If they establish your trust, they can guide you to the right conclusions. Everybody is happy when you come to the right conclusions.
   How to write: Stay in charge of the subject matter, approach it like the expert you are, and guide our readers to the right conclusion.
   Writing an essay is like serving at a restaurant.
   We can’t just ask an open ended question and expect our readers to dive in and be eager to read our work, we have to give them evidence first so their mind isn’t already made up.
   NOT TO DO:
   Don’t ask open-ended questions.
   Don’t promise that you will have important information to share… later.
   Don’t blame the kitchen.
   Don’t apologize for what you don’t have.
   Never contradict your customer’s preferences.
   The goal is to change our readers’ minds.
   The kitchen is whatever we have been able to gather from our research.
   The chef and server are us.
   The customer is our reader.
   Our white paper is the refrigerator space.
   Writers have to be charmers.
   When we publish our definition/categorical argument, name it “Definition – Username,” and post it to the definition category and our username category. THEN, copy and paste it into a new post and name it “Definition Rewrite – Username,” and post it to the definition rewrite category and our username category.
   Give our argument a title as well.
   Ask for feedback on the rewrite post and make our revisions on the rewrite post. The first draft version will NEVER change.
   All three short arguments argue the SAME material, there is no new topic.
   We need references (at least two) and make a reference page.
   We can ask for feedback on an introductory paragraph to see if we are on the right track.

   – changing names of things changes the way people see them
   -You have the ability in writing to challenge the pov of your readers
   – when writing you always want to be in charge of what the reader is thinking
   – you can get people to agree with you by getting them to agree with other things before that, this is called the nodding theory
   -Your job as a writer is to serve the information, guide the reader and make them believe it
   -We are the subject matter experts not the reader so you must not assume they know
   -We come to the right conclusions and then need to establish the readers’ trust so we can guide them to the right conclusions
   -Can’t ask an open-ended question and expect the reader to believe or agree with what you say. you need to provide them and guide them
   – telling a reader something important first makes it so that you grab their attention and can draw their attention the whole essay
   -Don’t contradict the readers’ preferences
   -When the definition argument is done copy the content and make a new post and post it in the “Definition rewrite” category that way we keep the original post as well as one to continuously edit on
