At the beginning I thought that project one “ DOCSV Analysis “ would be so hard for international student to understand and discover all the elements of a text and I thought it will be too challenging , maybe I was thinking that I have to find every element in the text and have to analysis it. But later we found more as we go deep in the topic .first we were introduce to the genre question ,which they made the task very easy , by dividing the topic in three simple ways :what is it ? , who read it ? , and what it for ?. by these three question. We will know what is the purpose of the text which make it easy to analysis. Then after we know these three think we move to the second part is to find the 5 element (DOCSV) .
I was asked to analysis one of the text assigned to us about food issues ,and it was “Good Vegan , Bad Vegan ” Written by jane E. Brody. The text was an opinion piece about veganism. And I love how the writer make it very simple and clear to speak about the topic and the way she referred to her sources , but on the other hand I wish I could see more picture and statistics in the text .
Introduction about the writer , you can find
more about Jane in the link above
In this text the writer made it very simple in answering the genre questions from the beginning of the text . she make it very clear that it is an opinion article to educate and to persuade the readers on the right way of being health you could be vegan or meat eater and still you have a good diet . Also the writer argued about some false information. Her readers were both vegetarian and nonvegetarian in USA ,people who care about healthy diet.
At the beginning ,as is mention it was very challenging to understand the topic and to analysis it and to find the DOCSV element, but later as we got in to the analysis it become easier as we read more text , some of the element was very easy to find , but some need more work to find it. The that was assigned to us in this course help me a lot and maybe it will me in the future in improving my skills in analysis .
It was very fun to analyze text , because it make us understand the full text and go deep to what is between the line , and to understand the writer intention in writing this text , and what is his goals .

Hi Mohammad, I was assigned to do a DOCS-V analysis on the same article as yours. Similarly, I thought using the DOCS-V tool for the first time was going to be hard, but once I understood it further, I realized It was the opposite of what I thought. I agree with you that this project was very fun when we were doing it back then. You have a great blog man, I’m looking forward to read the ones you write in the future.
