A Little More Love Text Analysis Essay

Improved Essays
In the literacy narrative, I explained my experience with growing up thinking I was not as smart as the other kids and how I overcame my fear of not being good enough and how that made me a more determined worker. I think my strength is putting the reader in my shoes to show what it was like being put in the special group. However, I think my essay can be improved towards the end of the essay with the conclusion and a better transition to it. The purpose of the text analysis essay was to analyze the music video for the song “A Little More Love” by Machine Gun Kelly featuring Victoria Monte. I believe I did a good job describing the video and its indented purpose, but I lacked in trying to convey my argument. I would change my fourth paragraph to make my evidence and argument more obvious. The paragraph has two arguments in one and little support for both. This was the most difficult essay and it quickly became my least favorite. The profile say was on a student at the University, Griffin Burke, who dresses like Indiana Jones every day and how college is an outlet for a greater freedom of expression. My greatest strength was not making a spectacle out of Burke and just making him seem like a student he is. Yet, I could of added more quotes from Burke and also add a picture to the paper so people can see that Burke truly looks like Indiana Jones. This essay was my favorite because of its amount of freedom in the range of topics we could write about and also being able to talk to someone as part of my paper. The reflection essay was about how fans can ruin the reputation of a college by how irrational they act in reaction to the final score of a football game. One of my strengths was describing what tailgates are like and how crazy SEC football games and fans are and what it is like being a student at a school with a large football program. Part of my weaknesses was not making my feelings towards these fans clear. I wanted to convey that even though I love my school maybe I …show more content…
I don’t like to work on my bed because it makes me want to give up and go to sleep. I also tend to work with some music playing and more often than not, a cup of coffee is with me. I typically work on the rough draft sporadically the day before it is due and sometimes that means also late into the night. If I can, as in not wait until the night before, I like to give myself breaks so I do not get into a writing rut. Sometimes I will come back to the paper later even after I think I have finished it and add things too it. I just look at it with fresh eyes and try to make sure that what I am trying to say is understood. However, I do not always do any sort of written out brainstorming before I start writing. This can make the rough draft more random and sometimes aspects of it ends up in the final draft too. Most of the time I use my rough draft as my pre-writing. It is easier for me to see how to organize my essay and what should be added or taken out when it is all written out in essay form. I have all my ideas written out the way I want and I see can how it all flows and fits together, even if it

    The Literacy Narrative was sort of a trial and error project. I wrote the essay the best way I knew how and hoped for the best grade. I did though get to tackle a more creative aspect of my writing that needed much working on. Since this essay was based on our own experiences, it allowed me to be as creative as I would like rather than being confined to the requirements that something like a research paper would have. Despite this, I still realized that my Literacy Narrative was not my strongest paper.…

    René Magritte was a Surrealist artist who has managed to retain his prominence with the simple, yet thought-provoking paintings that he created in his lifetime. By intertwining ordinary subjects with juxtapositions, Magritte was able to successfully force viewers into reconsidering what is often assumed. A well-known example of one of these artworks is The Lovers II which, as its title states, depicts two lovers – a man and a woman – kissing in the corner of a room. However, oddly enough, both of them have a white sheet draped over their heads, thus preventing them from properly “locking lips.” At first glance, it can be easy to disregard this painting as nonsensical.…

    The writing process is different and unique to all individuals; many people follow the ideal steps of prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing as opposed to others taking shortcuts, skipping steps, and going straight to editing. The writing process is the course one takes to get from prewriting to the publication of their essay; since everyone is a different, their writing process will also be different. For me, I believe that following the ideal writing process steps are a tremendous help to organizing my essay and spacing out the work throughout the time the assignment is assigned. To begin writing an essay I must first prewrite; to prewrite is to brainstorm ideas from the prompt by outlining, diagramming, clusterings, or…
