Annoying Ways People Use Sources

In Kyle Stedman’s “Annoying Ways People Use Sources,” Stedman describes how certain ways people use sources can be really annoying and then gives real life comparisons to how they fell. one annoyance that Stedman describes is Uncle Barry and His Encyclopedia of Useless Information. This is when the writer will go from topic to topic very fast without explaining any thoroughly enough to be acceptable. You might peak interest of readers with one but you move on so quickly that the reader just wants to hear about that one more and is left disappointed he or she did not get enough information on it. One example I can think of where this happens is in speeches. A lot of times the speaker will mention something I will be truly interested in, then move on really quick without explaining what I want to hear about. I think I use the armadillo roadkill too much in my writing. He describes this as how when an armadillo comes out into the driver does not see it and it get hit. A large uncomfortable bump. Stedman compares this to a poorly execute quote from a source. It comes out of nowhere and can be very unpleasant to the reader. Quotes need to have relevance to the topic and they need to mesh smoothly with the rest of the essay. I feel I can improve on this by using better quotes that mesh with my essay fluidly and will help open the reader’s eyes to the point I’m trying to get across. The best way to fix this problem is to go back to each one while your drafting them and make sure that each one is portraying what you want it to. Make sure you show them a quote is about to come, who the quote came from, and how the reader should interpret it. A college professor would rank the annoyances as I swear I did Some Research, roadkill armadillo, Am I in the Right Movie?, Uncle Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information, dating Spiderman, I Can't Find the Stupid Link. The reason I Swear I did Some Research is first is because citing is one of the most important parts of the paper and if the professor can’t see that who knows how credible what you’re saying is. A blogger will rank the annoyances as dating Spiderman, roadkill armadillo, dating Spiderman, I Can't Find the Stupid Link, Am I in the Right Movie?, I swear I did Some Research, and Uncle Barry and his Encyclopedia of Useless Information. I made changes with the ones that had to do with rambling information is accepted in blogging. Also the burden of proof with citing with bloggers is not as hard as it is with professors.
