"The Reaction Paper: A Measured
Response to the World"-

Reaction paper
versus diary

22. 1. The world can be a chaotic
place. Often, there seems to be
no rhyme or reason in the events
that happen to us. Oftentimes,
people despair, and the modern
alienation articulated by Henry
Thoreau may be true for many----
"The mass of men lead lives of
quiet desperation."

23. 2. In order to make sense of the
world, people write. In order to
create a semblance of order and
understanding of one's experiences
people write. Often enough, they
write a measured response to what
has happened to them. This takes on
various forms, but for the purpose of
this textbook, the forms we will
explore are the review and the
reaction paper.

24. 3. Of course, some may consider a diary
entry to be a reaction paper to the world.
However, diary entries are personal in
their significance, while the reaction
paper's significance is societal. The
reaction paper is written for the
enlightenment of one's fellow human
beings; a diary entry is written for the
enlightenment of the self. Both have their
significance, however, only the reaction
paper is considered significantly valuable
for the academe.

25. 4. There is also a difference in form: the
reaction paper is more formal, more
descriptive, and often uses the rhetorical
devices of description and narration in
order to prove a point; while the diary
entry is less formal, less descriptive, and
does not endeavor to persuade or to make
another person understand; hence, there
is no real effort in using rhetorical
devices. Oftentimes, the diary entry is a
way to rage against petty insults and
grievances.

26. 5. When one reads a reaction paper, one
expects to be informed and amused.
Reaction papers help us in our everyday
decisions: from what movie we should
watch, to the clothing that we should
wear, and the causes that we should
believe in. It tells us that we are not alone
in experiencing the world, and that there
are others before us who care to tell us
what to watch out for, and how to best
experience what we are about to go
through.

27. 6. Modern interactions of the
reaction paper are the movie, review,
gadget review, trip advisor post, and
other travel reviews, restaurant
reviews , and essays that discuss a
social phenomenon or a common
experience. Many editorials can be
considered reaction papers, if not,
position papers. Many of them are
written in newspapers, magazines,
and weblogs.

28. 7. Although the modern world can be a
lonely and alienating place, the reaction
paper can reach put and tell us that we
are not alone. It helps to know that the
other person is going through the same
experience as well, and that this person
has something to tell you about how to
survive, what to avoid, and where to seek
pleasure. A reaction paper, when done
right, can help us process our own
experience, and help us see things that
we weren't able to see on on our own.

29. 8. In today's multimedia world, this
stretches across countries and over
territorial borders, where a
housewife from Manila can tell a
tourist from Tokyo how to best
survive Manila's hot summer. We
reach out to one another, in order to
make the world a better place, by
mapping the world for others, and
letting them know where beauty and
darkness reside.
