Who is Torie Moctezuma?

When faced with the question, “who are you?”, there are many things I could say about myself. I was born on February 17, I have a twin sister and two younger brothers; however, something that most people don’t know about me is that I have two older half siblings as well. Being born with clubfoot and amniotic band syndrome, I was required to undergo many surgeries during the first couple years of my life. Growing up I was fortunate enough to have a big family with a lot of attitude and a big sense of humor. One of my favorite things to do is go to family events because I know I’ll always have a good time. Right now I, just like all of my peers, am trying to figure out where my life is going and I am glad that I have the support of my family, friends, coworkers, and professors. If I'm not at school or at work I enjoy relaxing (who doesn't?), bingeing the occasionally Netflix show, and if I'm really in the mood, I will pick up a book. Yes I'm being completely serious. Although writing may not be my strong suit I am very much looking forward to this semester in English 015.

PB2A- Psychology

A discipline that I am interested in is Psychology. A professor here at Abington who studies in this field is Michael J. Bernstein . Bernstein published an article a couple years ago on the relation of past perspectives on present relationships. He has a also published several articles on social interaction and exclusion. This is very interesting to me because I have always been interested in the effect of people’s experiences on their daily lives. It is exciting to know that people actually study things that may seem miniscule or insignificant but are actually important in humans lives. Some questions I have are: What effect does rejection have on relationships? What type(s) of rejection exists? Can these all affect how we pursue relationships? What kind of experiences influence relationships? How are social interaction and exclusion related? Is this the same as rejection? The keywords I used are: relationships, social interaction, exclusion, rejection and past experiences....

PB1A- Coupons

Image
One textual genre that most people, if not everyone, are familiar with, is coupons. Coupons attract any type of person but mainly people who are looking to save money; however, there may be some people who just happen to stumble across their Sunday paper or store ad before a shopping trip and score some discounts for things already on their list. As stated before, a coupons main purpose is to save people money, but they are also a good advertising tool. People may decide to try a different brand of a product because it is on sale and if they like that product better odds are they will continue to buy it. However, there are some people who buy products for the sole reason that they are on sale. The context of a coupon is that it is presented at checkout for a specific item and it must be deducted from the customer’s bill. Although this is true, there are many rules, per say, that accompany the use of a coupon. It must be used before the expiration date, which is most often a month afte...

PB1B- Genre Generators

Genres are everywhere, you can find a genre in everything. Having a computer or phone allows people to have access to genres and information on genres at the touch of their fingertips. There are many websites that create genres and often times conventions are attached to them which allows viewers to clearly identify what they are looking for. One genre generator website, SCIgen, is specifically designed to generate computer science research papers and even includes useful tools such as graphs and figures. Each paper begins with an introduction and includes related work, principles, implementation, evaluation, conclusion, and a full list of references. Whenever the generate button is pressed on the website, a different topic comes up. For example, some papers that were generated are, “Refining Hierarchical Databases Using Real-Time Communication”, “E-Business Considered Harmful”, and “Enabling IPv4 and Neural Networks Using Tical”. The next genre generator website is based on comic...
