Writing the analysis paper was a lot different than writing the persuasive paper. For me, the analysis paper was a lot more fun. Being able to break things down and analyze them is a fun challenge, and it didn’t involve scrambling to cite sources. To be fair, the topic I picked for my argumentative essay is a pretty serious one. I wish i had picked something a little lighter. It was a lot more work coming up with arguments and explaining myself clearly for the third paper. I did enjoy doing research on my topic though, it is an issue I have a personal opinion on, and I was glad this gave me an excuse to look more into it. Finding all the facts forced me to re-examine my opinion, and it was a good experience for me.
I think because I enjoyed the analysis paper more, I was able to do better work on it. I spent a really long time re-reading it and messing with the formatting to make sure it was perfect, while with this paper I’m much less perfectionist about. That could also just be that it’s the end of the quarter. Either way, I think both papers helped me gain more writing experience. Organizing my thoughts into words in a way that sounds good is something I struggle with, and having to talk about a sensitive topic made me work to practice that skill. The analysis paper helped me do this by forcing me to order my thoughts about each ad in a way that made sense. Both these papers were awesome to write, and I’m glad I got the experience I did from them.
