Assigntment # 14:)

   The essay that i chose to revise was the advertisement analysis.  Some strengths i find in my essay is that I have supporting arguments. For example, i explain well why i thought the cover of a magazine was portrayed as an ad. Some weaknesses i thought my essays had was that it wasn't exactly an advertisement like Ms. Spencer had required  us to write.
   I am definitely going to revise my essay and make it sound a bit more professional and confident. For example, i plan to meet with my English teacher and also go to the writing lab to get better help on what it is i need to change. In a way i feel that my essay does lack a little bit of focus. I seem to repeat the same thing over and over and it doesn't really explain much about why the cover is an advertisement.
Another thing i plan to do to effectively revise my essay and get as much opinions from other people as to what else i can add on to the essay or so because of the fact that i tend to repeat the same thing.

Assignment # 13 :)

The essay that I analyzed was "Free speech off campus should be protected." I find this argument very convincing and it got me thinking about the different ways that the essay attracted myself and what i thought would attract the audience. The first thing i learned from the author was to use a lot of examples as i could. The reason why i thought it was a good idea to use a lot of examples was because it seemed like a good way to support your opinions and statements. For example, if i mention a statement and i back it up with evidence that makes my statement true then i feel like it would get the audience to think more about the point im trying to make. The second thing i learned from analyzing the essay was the tone he used while he was trying to convince people. For example, he writes with such a serious tone that makes his readers believe him and that he believes himself. When i write my essay im definitely going to use what he used because i think it will make my essay more effective and it will get my audience to believe me and have them think twice about my point.
