This was one of the entries that i really liked to write and it was entertaining to look back at the advertisments i have seen and just remember all the things they said and how ridiculous they could be. I thought it would be good for everyone to see how in ads there is usually some type of con to what ever they are selling. Also i just find it interesting how most ads are on beauty or how you look and the focus on your apperance. This was a very good topic to write on and even though it was spur of the moment and i did not have to much time to think but there is a lot of information out there on ads and it is not hard to write your opinion or thoughts about them.
Contratsing two personality types was my other favorite journal to write. It was interesting to look at how personality type A and type B people differ and how both sides can have pros and cons. I know what personality type I am as an individual but it was also unique to see how i can hold some of the traits of the other personality depending on what day it is. I am mostly personality type A which has to have everything in order and we stress way to easily but i do have those days where i am type B and am relaxed and just go with the flow.
This was an outline to help organize my arguminative essay and it was extremely helpful to me. I learned a lot about my style of writing from this and I also learned what should be done when writing papers to organize your thoughts. It was helpful to write my thoughts down on paper and see what I would and would not put into my essy. Making the paper persuasive was a little difficult for me until I sat and looked at the main points i wanted to get across and how exactly i would go about doing that. Also i found that discussing what you are doing is a great way to show people how one way could be better than another or that either way is just fine. This was all about helping me be able to get my thoughts in order and become a better writer.
Writing down the questions i have been asked in an interview and comparing them to the questions that i would be asking was very helpful. This process of writing out the kinds of question you as a person would ask in an interview really made you think about what you would be looking for from a company or a specific job. It is important to think about the kinds of things you would want from an interview and the kinds of things you may be asked in an interview. As college students it is not long until we are out in the work field and we need to be prepared. This helped me to really put into perspective the types of things i need to look foward to and what i should consider about myself as an individual. This had to do with more of how you would approach a situation or how you would answer certain quuestions and it really made me look deep within myself to find some of those answers.
Now i know for the journal entry about Edgar Allan Poe it might not have been a new learning experience but it was still a learning experience for me. Looking back on some of the things i already knew about Poe was interesting becuase honestly i did not even think about what i knew about him until i had to write it down. It was one of those moments where you knew you had some information on a certain person but then you are not sure just how much or what you know. Even thought we just had to write off the top of our minds i still think the information given was still pretty good considering time. This was a moment of learning for me in the fact that it refreshed my learnings about Poe and i was able to recap some of the information i had already learned in the past years from his poems and various things i had read about him.
