Cluster of My Controversy

In this blog post, I will share the cluster that I made to illustrate the debate surrounding Uber, and explain how it is formatted.

 The image above is the cluster that I made on Coogle, which I created to organize and display, in a visual way, the many aspects of the debate surrounding Uber. The stems that are coming from the center of my cluster are the main arguments currently occurring about Uber, and the branches going off of those topics of debate go into specifics, either supporting or disproving, that specific controversial claim of the original branch.

Reflection:
In this post, I will discuss how the clusters made by Breanna and Sam made me feel.

Both Breanna and Sam, like myself, chose to make their clusters on Coogle. Though the topics of their controversies were very  different, Breanna's and Sam's clusters were similar because they were both concise and well organized. After looking at their clusters, I see how I could have formatted my own cluster differently, by going into detail about who the specific speakers in each major group are. However, I think that the way that a person makes their cluster has to be beneficial to his or her own writing process, and I definitely think that the way my cluster is laid out will benefit me while drafting my QRG. Though I have never made an actual cluster like this one before, I do typically list my all of my ideas in a similar fashion. I believe that this is an essential step in my writing process; because it forces me to compose a specific plan about how I want my thoughts and research to be organized and executed.
