I chose the article which was about a woman gets kicked from the bus, because she has a noisy baby.
First I thought about what will be easier for me to change, and then I change the form,and made the article in an even letter, I made this chose because I knew how to organize in personal letter. I chose this particular article, because is something we see every day when we taking the bus. Personally I don’t have children, however I understand that the parents can’t shush the baby, especially if the baby is very young.my argument of the letter was how people are rude, but when it comes to their own children, they think they aren’t bothering anybody. I sent this letter to the US woman organistion, therefore my audiences changed as well. The original article was almost everybody, but my letter was only particular woman’s organisation.

For the writing variables assignment I choose the sneakhead text to write about. I changed the newspaper artice into a internet blog.
I made this change because it made the writing a lot easier for me since I knew how to do that, and it is something we are doing right now in class so it makes it that much more fimiliar.
The language in my text didn't change that much compared to reading it in the article since they were both written in a first person sort of view by the author telling about the snakehead fish.

The article that I chose is "Running Down Theories about Hanging Shoes." I chose this article as it was the most appealing to me because it is more local than the other articles that I had to choose from.
The two writing variables that I changed are the audience and the purpose. The change I made to the audience is that I made the audience more broad instead of focusing on only St. James people I think that everyone in Winnipeg is relevant to this article as they can drive and look for themselves and have an opinion. The purpose changed from trying to find out who is doing the hanging of the colourful shoes to finding out and/or persuading people that this can be art or not be art.
My final product was an article from a newspaper. Oringinally it was an article as well, I chose to keep it the same because I felt that it was the best way to represent my ideas and the best way to present it based on the audience it was aimed for.

i choose the article where the mom gets kicked off the bus. i changed the audience in my assigment the original version was for anyone to read i made it for our city to read to make them aware of how the people who work for the city act and i chnaged the form from an article into a newspaper interview. i changed it from an article to a newspaper interview because its something thaat i could see our transit drivers doing because some of them are pretty rude and i don't think the city should have people liek that working for them. my language didnt really change from the original and my version.

I chose the Northern Snakehead article. I picked that article it was the only article i was really interested in. I switched it from a news article to a rant. I chose to do my writing variable in that form because i'm good at ranting, my friends and boyfriend would know that best. My final product was a little rant on how pet stores should be educating buyers on what they're selling, it'd be a simple solution to the Northern Snakehead problem. The language changed because of the form I chose. I didn't really need to be formal with the way I wrote, like you would have to be writing a serious article for a paper.

I had reworded the text of the article and changed alot of the details around. I chose the cows burp less article. I changed around the main idea just a little bit as I am really not that great at creating stuff. My language in the text basically stayed the same just it would have been found in a newspaper. A newspaper that lots of people would have seen not just a little side coloumn in an important paper.

I choose mom booted off bus because of noisy toddler. I turned this article into a letter. I made this choice because I have taken the bus with my own children who have made noise, I have seen other people on the bus with their children make noise sometimes it happy and sometimes it's not. I found it a lot easier to write a letter from the lady's veiw in the article because this happens in life and there sometimes certain things that can be controled and some you can't control. It to me is a choice to take the bus and if people don't like the noises then don't take the public bus's.

I chose the lake bully article from the news paper because it sounded like a interesting challenge for the form i was going to turn it into. I chose to switch the form and the language that was going to be used. i decided to turn it into a song about bullying sort of like how the fish was with the lake sea food i mean fish. I had a song that was (to me) well written easy to understand and (hopefully) and a producy i could be proud of. I decided to switch it from article to song lyrics because i have always enjoyed music and i write lyrics myself so it was very comfortable for me to write. I switched some of the words in the articles with refernces to similar things since the fish were from china and kicking out or killing other fish i treated them and made them look like the triad gang from china. I really enjoyed doing this and hope i could do something bigger than this in some later class since it is only three months it will come sooner than before so...YAY!

I chose the hanging shoes story. I told other reasons I knew of for shoes hanging on a power line. I used a style so everyone could understand. I told it with facts so people could understand exactly what is being told.

I chose to write a poem on the colourful running shoes on wires article. I've passed under the bridge on Wellington several times and have always wondered what the reason behind the shoes were. As I said, I changed the form from article to poem which naturally changed the purpose, context and audience. I chose to write a poem based on the article because I used to be an avid poem writer in highschool and wanted to have my hand at it again. The poem itself is quite simple but it does pull quite a bit from the article.

The final text that I produced for this assignment was an email to my best friend of 30 plus years. I wrote to her as though we had experienced what the article “Running Down Theories about Hanging Shoes” by Gabrielle Giroday was discussing. My letter was meant to provoke a memory and to acknowledge that her theory about the hanging shoes was possibly correct. I changed the text’s form from an article to a personal letter and the audience from the general public to one close friend. I chose to change these two variables because I have had discussions about the histories of hanging shoes though not with this particular friend.I like writing emails to my friends so this was a natural choice for me. The changing of the form to a personal letter automatically affected the audience so this was not a choice per se. These two changes also caused the purpose and main idea to change from general inquiry to a personal discussion between two friends. The changing of these variables changed the language from being informative to casual. Being that my text was meant to provoke memory I didn’t have to use as many adjectives as the article meant for informing and initiating conversation did. One similarity beteeen these two particular peices is that they both leave the reader with questions and myself as well.

For the writing variables assignment I chose the article about the mother getting kicked off the bus for her baby being too loud. The variables that I changed were the audience and the form. The audience was changed from the general public to the driver of the bus that kicked the mother off. I changed the form from a newspaper article to a letter. I decided to change these variables because that article made me a little mad and I think the mother that got kicked off should have wrote a letter to the bus driver. I also thought it would be the easiest way to convert the newspaper article. I used an angry kind of language in the letter to get the point across to the bus driver how I would have felt if I were the mother in that situation.

I choose the article whereby the Australian woman with her 13months old daughter was kicked off a public bus when taking ride home because the child was making squealing noises because she was excited. said mom. She still got kicked off after the mother apologised to the passengers and tried to shush the toddler by playing with her, offering a cookie and a drink. I change from the original form to speech because we as parents, communities, public buses drivers and pilots need to be informed of whats is going on in the city and how to handle it. My text didn't change a lot compared to the original text. I am pretty sure that three quarter of toddlers make noise on the buses and even on the airplanes, and there is nothing you can do about it. I am not happy with buses drivers because I personally have two children and if I don't have my own car, then I will get kicked off the bus just like the other women on the bus.

For the assignment Writing Variables, for the final text i choose to re create the adience and the purpose of the story to entertain. my final project was a short story about how the meaning on hanging shoes from a wire has a lot of different meanings.
i chose to change the article "shoes hanging from a street wire" to a short story because i think it made it a lot easier to understand the concept better.
the language i chose to change was not a lot differnt but i changed some of the topics why shoes are hung froom a wire and why drug dealers use it to mark thier territory.
