improvment

Since the begging of the semester, I feel like my writing did change a little bit. After looking back at my first blog, I could tell that I was a little careless at times. My goals for the class are closer to being met than before and that is due to the blog assignments and essays with all the reviews we have to do. I feel that the in-class writing we do is really helpful, the reason for that is because we get to write about the same topic but in three different forms or however the questions are based, which helps us expand the our views on a topic through writing. In my opinion, it wouldn't hurt to have more of it. I would say that my writing process changed in a way that I am more careful now and pay more attention to what I put down on paper as opposed to just writing down what ever in order to get the assignment done. Mostly because the assignments are really clear and i know what is expected from me.  So as a result, i would say my writing has improved since the beginning of the semester and i hope it will continue to be better throughout it as well.

compare and contrast

There are a lot of differences between the literacy narrative and the ad analysis essay. The 1st paper is a personal experience while the 2nd one is something that is meant to be seen around the world, which makes the audience much bigger. Also, the purpose would differ to as the ad would try to convince people into there product while the narrative is trying to give a heads up to the reader on what they have done. In my narrative tone , i wasn't exactly trying to set a sense of fear but trying to warn the reader that a research paper is difficult and requires much time to do, and that's what the ad that i chose does, it tries to warn people and show how dangerous downloading music illegally can be. The genre is the same way, it can be described as fear and warning in both of them.

analysing ads


I have selecyed this ad to do my paper on. It is used to spread awareness of how dangerous it is to download illegal music. It is set out to people who of course do this act, trying to make them stop. As for the genre, it uses horror as a method so they are trying to send a sense of fear. the tone they are using is more of a scary tone to try and achieve what they are doing.
