Response to Wendell Berry (Word Project Part 2)

In this part of the assignment I am asking you to write up a response to the article you just reformatted. You will have to read the article carefully, and then write at least a full page.

1. Open a new document in Word. Do this by choosing "New" from the File menu.
2. Write a 250 word (at least) response to the article, considering one of the following questions:

• Do you agree with Berry's assertion that working at home or writing with a pencil is somehow more "natural" than the more 'modern' alternatives? In order to answer this question, you will have to define what you mean by "natural".
• Why do you use a computer in your work? How do you respond to Berry's assertions that this is distancing you from both your body and the people around you?
• Can you propose other attitudes, besides Berry's, towards computers that one might have, attitudes that would help one avoid some of the problems Berry describes?
• If someone has a modem that runs at 28.8 bauds, how long would it take for them to download your reformatted Berry paper? [You will need: the size of the file and a calculator.] Explain your work.

  Make sure that your response contains at least 250 words. You can see how many words are in your document by choosing "Word Count" from the Tools menu. (I will use this myself to see if you have 250 or not.)

3. Format your words (choose font and spacing) to make your page readable. Be sure your response has your name, the date, and a title.
4. Save your document to your Home directory (if you are working on the Macintosh) or your H: drive (if you are working on a Windows machine).

TURNING IN PART 2- Response to Wendell Berry
Save a copy of this file in the Groups drive appropriate turnin folder. This is where I will see your paper, and give it points
To save to the Groups directory, follow these steps:

1. Choose "Save As" from the file menu; a dialog box will appear (similar to the "Save" dialog box).
   
   In this dialog box, click the "Desktop" button to see a listing of all the directories you have logged on to. Double-click "Groups", then double-click "Classes", then double-click "HU2644", then double click "MacTurnIn" folder. In this folder, you should already have your own turn-in folder created, named with your userid.
   
   In this dialog box, click the G: drive under the pull-down menu labeled "drive:", then double-click the "Classes" directory, then double-click "HU2644", then double click "PcTurnIn" folder. In this folder, you should already have your own turn-in folder created, named with your userid.
   
   
2. Before you click "Save", type in a new name for your article: name it "Response", then select a suitable folder (e.g."jasheppa/word/" ) to store it.
   
   Now click "Save."
