Redesign Reflection

Going into this assignment I thought that it would be very difficult because I am not very good at analytical writing. I decided on the NyQuil ad because i knew that it would be really easy to change to fit a different audience. My redesign just came off the top of my head and I kept adding things until it was sufficient for the new audience. I had a lot of trouble trying to make my essay longer but after i broke up the rhetorical appeals and described the original ad in greater detail it all worked out. I liked the freedom that this assignment gave us. It let us choose any ad and change that ad to fit any audience that you want. I ended up walking away with better analytical writing skills and also a better understanding of the rhetorical appeals. If I could go back and do something differently I probably would have made the essay just a little bit longer with more detail.
