When the class began I felt like a decent writer. Certainly I have many flaws, but I broke some of my habits, because of this class. As I go back and read my first post I seemed interested in writing, but was not aware of what this class truly has to offer.
Doing the blog posts showed me how to use this website I never heard of. Made me follow my peers and what they felt about certain topics or assignments in class. My writing experience I believe improved, because my attendance is solid and that allows me to follow the daily classroom assignments. It allowed me to use my imagination a lot more and to look at something and examine it. Writing has a meaning and all types of writing have the same elements. I am satisfied with the knowledge I have gained in this class and knowing it is about midterm time makes me excited, because so much is left to learn about how to be a good college writer. Building that foundation will make writing easier as I keep going to school for many years to come.

Considering rhetorical situations
Literacy narrative and a ad analysis I think have a lot in common. Starting off with the basics, they are both forms of writing! Literacy narrative is telling a story and the details are what you provide for the audience. Ad analysis is also a writing that focuses on getting a point across but its more of a fact thing behind it. Usually promoting something, trying to get a point across by using font changes, pictures, emphasis on one thing more than the other. Ads tend to be very short and detailed. But it requires you to actually sit down and find out why the ad is trying to say something and are you really getting the message. With the literacy narrative you are reading a paper and you have the words there in front of you, the writer is telling you who, what, when, where, and why. Tends to be longer than just a couple minute read, the ad is short but detailed and very creative most of the time to catch the readers attention.
