paper review

I have to say that this was one of the most fun papers to compose. I've had Advanced English in high school and took a few English courses at Macomb, but this paper doesn't even compare to the others I have had to write. The other papers were always so boring and "dry." Plus, it was always the same thing like write about what you read, or character analysis, or do an opinion essay BUT it has to be the way I (the teacher) tell you, you have to do it. So, it was really refreshing to finally do a paper that was creative and unique. I like that this essay was actually analytical, but FUN.

I visited my friend at her dorm earlier this week after class, and she had to the exact paper. However, her paper had to be about objects that describe her. So, I like how you (Ellen) made our paper actually tie in with what we have been learning and that is interesting to do.

The other thing that I liked about this paper and class is that it INTERESTING. This class and my communications class are the only ones I enjoy this semester. I'm going into journalism so I guess that explains it. I feel like this English class is my own personal pop culture gossip coulmn extravaganza. If I ever find myself working at People or US, I'll know what to do because of this class. : )

Well, I'm not going to lie to you, but the paper was actually hard to do. I seriously don't ever pay attention to ads, even on TV. I am an avid magazine reader, but I usually skip over the ads. On a side note, the worst magazine to read is Oprah's magazine O. Seriously, EVERY OTHER page is an AD! It's so annoying! Anyways, since I don't ever pay attention to ads, it was hard to find and analyze one that truly describe me, but doable.

Overall, I'm happy with this class and the assignments. I just hope I can keep up with everything.
