Throughout this class I have grown remarkably as a writer and thinker. My thought processes are deeper and more unique to my topic instead of generic as they were before. Enrolling in this class will help me throughout my life and future career to communicate better with others through the written language. Additionally this course has taught me how to properly address and identify the audience of my work no matter what the topic or the type of readers I may encounter.This process of becoming a more advanced writer was characterized by many different aspects of writing from the radio essay to the anti-advertisement, and each paper had its own set of differences it wanted to explore through writing, and if used correctly these newly learned skills would be useful in any assignment and life.To further explain, the technology assignment was meant for us (the students) to discover ourselves and what has shaped us over the course of our life. This allowed us to be introduced to a deeper thinking and evaluate who we are as a person and why we are that way. For this I choose the radio after initially doing the assignment completely wrong. To begin I choose multiple technologies and how I have went from one to the next, completely missing the point of the assignment to narrow it down to just one instead of three like I had. So with the first conference I confirmed to myself that this class was going to be similar to a very long-lasting shot. For the fact that I have to take it so I might as well get it over with now and just do it (and no I did not just quote Nike). So I restarted my essay to only include one source of technology which would be the radio, and I attempted, again, to write my essay.With this set back I realized that I need to reevaluate the way I was analyzing prompts and interpreting them because I could not afford to do five drafts per assignment instead of just four. Resulting with me still miscalculating the point of the next paper, although this one was not as catastrophic. As a result for the next assignment I began with knowingly admitting that I may slip up and summarize a few sentences in the Dr. Seuss book The Sneetches, but I never imagined messing up my explanation and organization of the book in my essay. So again, another milestone I must cross to complete my paper and try to pass the class successfully. My next attempt was slightly better than the previous but still not as developed as I had hoped for, so now rather than focusing on the topic and how I was reading it, I focused on how I was reading and interpreting my essay as an outsider, and to be fair it was a mess of confusion. I had quickly discovered that most probably do not know or remember the story of the Sneetches, nonetheless know it enough in detail to understand my essay without me readdressing the plot. That was my first major mistake I had to change, because if the reader does not initially understand what is occurring or being discussed in the paper, you could be one hundred percent right but the reader would never know so it would never matter anyway. Following the explanation mistake I had to also alter the organization pattern so it flowed with textual support and visual support instead of one and then the next. For this I reordered my body paragraphs so they connected with each other in the sequence of the plot, so if the reader did not quite understand the story to the full extent then they could still follow the paper rather easily. Then I added visuals throughout the paper to assist the readers in imagining what was occurring throughout the story itself, because since the characters are not real I find it very beneficial to included pictures so the audience can have an idea of what to visualize as they read the essay. As for the last paper, this was a creative stump for me as a writer and as a student. Giving us free range to develop an anti-advertisement to contrast the original would have been comprehensible if we were given the advertisement with some outlines of ideas. But completely allowing us to choose our own and create the anti-advertisement was an obstacle I had a very difficult time overcoming. I could not find an advertisement that I deemed deep enough to compose an entire paper from, and while others seemed to magically find the perfect ones I was left with nothing but worry and defeat. Finally I tried settling on an advertisement that was absurd and disgusting for an energy drink whose name is not appropriate whatsoever. So neither was my anti-ad, which was a huge mistake because I could only write about five hundred words from it and then run out. So I threw away that draft (Deja vu). Then comes my current advertisement which I stumbled upon and was not even planning on doing until I watched The Roast of Justin Bieber on MTV and was slammed by inspiration. His one joke for him hitting a pedestrian with his car is what sparked my fire for this anti-advertisement. And though it is still remotely peculiar it has given me a lot to talk about which is precisely what I needed. So with this essay I began incorporating my knowledge of the joke but forgot that not everyone who would have seen this anti-ad would have understood the reference, so that began the change of word choice and direction of my essay as a whole. But, soon enough I briefly described Justin Bieber and his relevance to the advertisement but stayed away from the background knowledge of the joke so my audience would have an easier time comprehending what I was saying. This took multiple tries to achieve because I had to change my perspective form the writer who created the advertisement and who knew one side of the reason to an audience who was trying to interpret it for the first time. For this reason it was difficult for me to create this essay but eventually I reached far enough away from my previous knowledge so the average person who happened to see the picture would understand what I was trying to achieve. So I went with the most obvious of outcomes, I talked about how he possessed a teenage boys attention span which is known to be minute as women are known to be worse drivers than men, and this then transformed into my final draft. For me each draft serves as a stepping stone through the writing process and with every step I become closer and closer to the destination of an essay I am looking for. This process of write and revise allows me to make subtle changes that overtime alter the essay as a whole, but for the better. So instead of overwhelming myself with one draft and then constant revising my own revisions this makes it more clearly cut and approachable as a writer. This is genuinely one of the best tactics I have learned for writing.Lastly, as my audience travels through the website they will come across quotes on the left and right side of the picture which I chose the represent the paper or a difficulty I experienced with it. The quote on the left is a real quote, where as the one on the right side is my version and I have addressed it to who I feel is likely to gain the most from it or I have written what it addresses such as Life for the reflection quote. This is a visual representative to which I see fit to explain the paper and generalize what the topic wanted us to discuss. To explain this further with paper one my struggle was the thinking of what influenced me and how, I was having a difficult time gathering ideas. So for the image I showed a thought process and for the quote I used We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them as quoted by Albert Einstein. This helps to express the process by which I had to edit my paper to better fit the topic and how I had to alter my sense of mind to achieve the paper I needed. But, for the right side I changed it so instead of the quote relating to only me I altered it to We cant edit a paper by using the same kind of thinking we used to create it and I related it to all writers instead of putting my name, because I believe that most would say the same thing. As I mentioned earlier these skills I have learned in class can translate to almost anywhere, which is why I demonstrated my new found knowledge of addressing audiences by altering the quotes to better suite them, no matter who they are.
