Improved Essays
Writing Essays 3 and 4 was much different than writing Essays 1 and 2. As of our midterm we had written an essay based off of an issue raised in a text and one from our experiences in life. And starting with essay three we had to research information to write about. When we began essay 3 I had a multitude of ideas. The assignment was to find two essay of opposing viewpoints on a topic and to compare and evaluate both sides of the argument. Some of my ideas were; Electric VS. Gasoline cars, Are cell phones beneficial, and are laptops beneficial. Out of these the one that struck me as an essay I could write about was the cell phone essay.

Eventually tho, I became bored with this add and tried out an add for a Asus tablet. This one I was able to decipher easily since I liked technology and knew what they would be trying to do ignored to sell the product to me. This worked out quite well. In fact, I believe that I may have found most of what I could in the add. After This draft was finished I brought in a rough draft to be looked at.

I had fun dissecting this picture. The photo was rather simple in design. It had a hand picking up the new tablet from behind a pencil. As I began to write the more I found about the deeper meaning of the add and how it affected me subcontiously. Once I had finished writing this essay I turned it in for evaluation by our professor and when I received his feed back I decided that this would be the second essay that I would add to the final

    For my rhetorical and visual analysis paper, I chose to write about the visual storytelling of an art school’s ad and how it was weak in its presentation. When I decided to write my thoughts on this topic, I wanted to illustrate my professional opinion on advertising and how important it is to touch on all aspects of rhetoric when working on a visual. I also wanted to include this essay rather than my rhetorical narrative paper because I was much more passionate on the topic of analyzing this advertisement. I had much more to talk about within the analysis and found that I also cared about identifying the flaws within the ad more than I did telling a personal story. All the feedback I was given in class was incredibly helpful, as I was able to pick up on what aspects of rhetoric I was lacking in my final draft.…

The narrative was the easiest to write; however, I acquired important skills for writing the other two, which were in a less familiar format. With the three essays, I learned about my own writing skills and habits concerning development and critical thinking, time management, and organization.…
