Writing the analysis paper definitely felt different then writing the persuasive paper, but I found them both to be equally difficult. With the analysis paper you had to really look at the advertisements you picked, and find a defined similarity between them. To be honest, what I had chosen was not easy what so ever because it was comedy going hand in hand with insurance. It was already hard enough trying to find two advertisements that carried a common theme, but there wasn't much time to switch to something else. Fortunately with the persuasive paper I already had a clear idea of what I wanted my position to be, The need to state my argument, and back it up with sources provided some new incite for me, and my topic. The readings were very interesting, and shocking when I learned the effects of starting school later the morning could benefit adolescent students. Citing the sources weren't all that difficult, but keeping from turning the paper into a research one was very challenging to me. experience.
However I've gotten lost endless times between both paper #2 and #3. While the readings, and assignments did give us an idea of how to put together these papers I don't believe it was enough. They both lack something I've found important in most of the final essays I've ever written; rubrics. There is absolutely nothing more frustrating then starting something without a general layout of how it should be documented. It feels like I was trying to hit the center of a target while it was constantly moving in the dark. Finding the information is one thing, but for me it won't come out right without some background information of what needs to be set into motion. Despite the confusion for me, both papers were amazing to write, and broaden my understanding on how they touch base with the reader.
