Week 5

So I just finished the essay and it was kind of confusing. Describing what was going on in the advertisements was simple but after writing just the first advertisement about me it got a little redundant. The paper was just something that I wasn't interested in it was one of those essays a person feels like they were forced to write. I hope the next essay is a little bit more free to work with like of course i could choose the advertisements but it was a fixed idea, "How it reflects you". The rest of the class I feel is going great I began to speak up a little bit more than the first 2 weeks of class. I think that Ellen has done a good job with the new approach she took on getting us to separately disscuss the reading then talking about it as a whole class. Initially the class discussion wasn't much of a discussion at all. Reading through the syllabus I notice that there is no section for Music which i wish there was maybe teaching this class again Ellen can ad that as a key element of her teachings because music is something everyone listens to. Like I'm not the type to watch T.V. or movies or magazines. Music is more of my thing and I'd argue many students enjoy music rather than watch television and there is advertising in music ESPECIALLY RAP! so it will be a great addition to the class if Ellen decides to add it in her class.
