The rhetorical analysis essay was more difficult than I believed it would be. I was under the impression that we would be able to have the ads in front of us while writing, so I didn’t complete the graphic organizer as completely as I should’ve. This caused a few different moments of panic as I writing; I kept forgetting what exactly I was trying to say. So while I didn’t include a lot of detail (because I didn’t know what the ads looked like), I still feel like it was coherent and easy to read, which is something I’ve struggled with in the past in terms of timed writing. I’ve definitely improved as a writer because of this assignment, however. I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to look at an ad without analyzing which rhetorical devices it’s using.
