This I believe summary and response was a fun starter project that helped me understand how to create future summary and responses. It was also fun to see what people believed in and just reading multiple stores.    One This I believe essay that really caught my attention was written by Cecile Gilmer called “The People Who Love You When No One Else Will". Gilmer wrote about  how  Barbra and Roland   took her in when she was living in a cramped motel with her dad.

The interesting part was that Barbra and Roland kept her room the same for the four years she was at school waiting for her to come back as if she was their kid.

I like how Melissa starts off by explaining how companies have cleverly tailored advertisements to t...

  In project 2 we had to find an ad from the 20th century and break it down into an essay. My ad was the famous Obama Hope Poster, and I talked about the creator and what the poster stands for. This project helped me better understand how to write to an audience. This project also helped me think outside the box to write 1000 words over a simple poster and seeing how there's a lot of stories behind a simple poster, we just have to look into the little things. P eer review helps me develop collaborative  writing processes by getting my friend's feedback on my essay and also by me giving them feedback I can get some ideas of what to put in my essay. The "Hope" poster is an image of Barack Obama made by artist Shepard Fairey in  two  thousand  and eight .  It took Fairey only one day to make the design. Fairey started by creating street posters of the image then it quickly grew into digital copies and propaganda  ( Fairey) . The image became one of the mo...
