Journal 12

A lot has changed in my writing since this semester. I really think that I have improved a lot in my writing. Although it has not been easy the writing assignments in the class have been helpful and helped me a lot with my writing skills. I have learned to analyze things more closely and pay attention to some things that I wouldn't have before. At first I thought the assignments were difficult and I didn't think that I would be able to complete them, but when I took the time to think about the topic and come up with some ideas, it became easy. I will continue to look at things from a different perspective because that has been very useful in aiding me with writing the paper that were assigned. There were many things in class that helped me improve my writing. I think that work shopping the papers was very helpful and it helped improve them. I learned that media is not always what we think it is, and you have to learn how to look at the media from different perspectives besides your own. Now I analyze everything more than before, and it is very helpful not just with writing, but with everything. I am more aware of how the media appeals to different audiences, and how they get those particular audiences to become more interested in whatever it is that they're advertising. All of the class assignments have been both helpful and useful to me, and I think that the techniques I've learned will be used in many other classes and for many other assignments.
