I personally feel that I have advance a lot in my writing skills. Before, I used to struggle to write an essay, but it’s much easier for me now. I won’t lie, sometimes I still get stuck at some points throughout my essay, but in comparison from before I do much better. Also, I have notice that my syntax and vocabulary are getting much stronger. Before, I used too many so called “baby words” because my vocabulary skills were limited. The parts of the class that have helped me are that we do long papers, but we have time to finish them. We are not rush to accomplish the assignments and this reliefs us from pressure, allowing us to work more efficiently.

For example, if we get a lot of assignments, at the end we would get overwhelm by them. Causing stress in the student and reduce the student’s potential. My writing process has changed since the beginning of the semester. Before, I always used to do my assignments at the last minute, it’s a habit I have, but it has changed a little. Now, I do my work ahead of time. its better, you don’t get stress out because you have plenty of time to finish the assignment. Overall, I do really think my writing has improved vastly since the semester started. Hopefully, it would continue improving for the rest of the semester.

My ad analysis essay and my narrative essay are similar and different in many ways. For example, in my narrative essay I talked about my experiences with writing and how they influenced me overtime. There my audience was my professor and classmates. Also, the tone might be a little different; it can go from serious to non-serious. The genre is a completely different thing.

In comparison, the ad analysis essay has to be deeper. You need to go outside of the box in order to be successful in this assignment. You need to connect other topics or issues with the ad you are analyzing. In this essay you critical thinking skills are necessary. The audience for this essay is neither my professor nor my classmates but a specific group of people. The tone and genre are different as well along with the purpose. In this essay the purpose is not to describe my writing experiences throughout my life, but to examine why the ad is set up the way it is and to decipher the meaning of it.

Purpose: By using bright joyful colors and no words at all, this ad projects a strong attention grabber towards the public. This ad, is trying to convey the message to the public of all the possible things they might be able to do if they had an iPhone.

Audience: Even though, the ad doesn’t states to who the ad is purposely intended too. We can interpret that this ad is aim at young joyful people. We can deduce this by looking at the picture of a woman in her 20’s wearing colorful clothes. By wearing those colors she is able to project a feeling of happiness and joy to the public. However, this ad might also be intended for the general public as well.

Genre: There are many similar ads like this one out there. This is just one of many ads Apple has created over the years in order to persuade the public to buy their products. Mostly all the ads created by Apple use flashy colors to attract attention.

Tone: With the help of bright, joyful, cheerful colors and no words in the entire ad, helps to produce a positive tone. This then, transfers to the audience.

My final draft looks almost the same as my rough draft I didn’t made any big changes. I just corrected some grammar mistakes that were pointed during peer review. Also, I did add some extra sentences because I was missing one paragraph. No major changes were made to that paper. My focus still remains that same and my organization. Some errors that I identify are that I tend to repeat myself throughout the essay. I also notice that sometimes I leave the ED out of some words.

I noticed some mistakes I had with the help of peer review. They highlighted the mistakes I had and gave some advice on how to correct them. Also, when I was reading my paper out loud I caught them too, but not all of them. In my opinion peer review was real helpful in my case. It allowed me to get someone else’s opinion before handing it in for grading. I think the weakest aspects of my paper are my grammar mistakes like, run-ons and fragments. The strong aspects of my essay in my opinion are that I make myself clear throughout the essay. Also, the essay doesn’t sound too boring for the reader to read.
