essay 3

Before writing Essay #3, I was extremely worried about the length of the paper. I had never written a paper that was more than six pages, so ten seemed like a nearly impossible task. But I soon realized that it isn't so bad. I think that this could be because I was fascinated by the subject of the paper. I chose to write about something that is relevant in my life. Writing about a topic that is personal to me made me more interested in the writing this paper compared to the other papers that we've written in this class. Doing research for this topic was also a fascinating process and really opened my eyes to the world of advertising and made me ask a lot of questions about the advertising process, the product being sold, and how all of this relates to me. It was difficult at first to interpret one of the advertisements and then conduct a thorough analysis. It was even more of a challenge to do this for all three of the advertisements and then relate them to each other. Although this task was difficult, I am proud of myself for being able to overcome my worries about this essay and learn a lot about the advertising world and myself in the process of writing it.
