Offering my own examples of media arguments, both good and bad

The first URL (though dealing with media exactly) is a really well formatted way of arguing against media uses within business. It is well formatted within the web page and gives short and quick summaries of their points.

These. Now these are alittle over used. Especially her face. Yes memes and Jennifer's facial expressions serve us well when we may be at lose for words, but obviously she did not have Charleston in mind while she was presenting her speech for the grammies.

Class Review

So far this English class receives an A+. I really enjoy it because it is not like any of the English courses I have had so far. It does not put me to sleep like my American Literature class in high school, side note: though I really liked my teacher as a person, she would repeatedly say, "Wake up! I know I am not your most boring class." Yet all of us were on the verge of our second round of REM sleep. Yes she was our most boring class.

Also, this class does not discuss surface level things. I like how we talk about the author's intentions instead of just skimming over the apparent material. Also I really appreciate how the syllabus has everything mapped out. It keeps me organized and aware of what is coming up and that is really appreciated compared to some of my classes where it is every man for himself.

Relevant in Terms of the Future

I have never considered myself a writer, much less an English student. My friends correct my grammar in conversations and social media. It is truly #embarrassing. However, I do know that I have always liked to share and tell stories, and learning to communicate in more effective ways is important to me. My major is Graphic Communications, which in reality is a very fancy name for, "You will learn Graphic Design principles and we will force you to take marketing, accounting, and public speaking and voilà you can communicate graphically now."

Regardless of what they are trying to teach me, I believe this English class will help me in my future job simply by being a good delivering to my specific audience. I do not image I will have to be presenting a major thesis to a board of education nor will I be writing novels about how to photoshop a zit out of a portrait, but I will be utilizing oral rhetoric to persuade people that they can trust their brand, logo, picture, or film with me. In the future I want to be the creative hand that people lack and in doing so I will hope by presenting myself well and speaking in terms of who my audience is they will trust me with their business and I can follow through. I also want to help others share their talents or stories who may not have the means to broadcast to the general public so I want to be able to completely understand their intentions, while not confusing it with my own opinions, and help them reach their targeted audience.

This class also has a lot of deadlines which in the graphic design freelancing industry is sorta crucial. C'est la vie.
