1. To analyze the ads I examined each line of text to try to discern the reason the advertisers included them, how do they persuade the audience?. I used a similar process for the images although I examined colors and positions of the subjects instead of text.
2. I began drafting my essay by writing down everything I could examine from the three ads. Next I wrote a general thesis for which my essay would center around. After that I began to string together all the observations into coherent paragraphs. Finally I made the introduction, conclusion, and smoothed the transitions.
3. I feel my analysis was decently organized. To improve it I could make my thesis more prominent in the introduction and also improve the overall transitions within the analysis.
4. I believe I provided sufficient evidence, although most of it was based on logic so I may include historical documents to support the assumptions.
5. I believe my overall examinations of the advertisements was well done.
6. I could improve my Introduction greatly and also my transitions.
7. My visuals were the ads, they added quite a bit because they were what most of my writing was on.
8. The reader responses made it apparent my introduction and title need to be reworked
9. Next time I would choose ads with a bit more scope because writing almost entirely on race for the analysis probably began to bore my readers.
10. Overall I am pleased with my analysis, I don't particularly want to pursue any other soap ads but I might consider reading more of Rudyard Kipling's works to better understand the perspective of the time.
11. The analyzing skills I gained from this assignment will be very useful in future jobs and the entirety of my academic career. The technical writing skills gained will be useful in the same areas.
