Throughout the semester I feel that I had many ideas with what I wanted to portray, but most of them just did not click. I felt that I could have always taken the easy way out with an ordinary advertisement analysis or research paper, but I always felt the need to express something I could relate to, something that I could really enjoy writing about. For instance with my advertisement analysis started with a multitude of different advertisements. From dumb ways people die to Nike campaigns I just could not find that special advertisement that motivated myself to even write upon until I was convinced it was the Dos Equis most interesting man alive. I grew up worshipping this guy, and felt that others needed to see this man in the same light as myself. Although while writing about the most interesting man alive I feel that I had incredible possibilities . There was just so much to portray, whether it was the actor himself and his amazing story, or the other ads he was presented in. The most interesting man alive was truly that to me, and I can only wish that I described him better as a character of motivation and inspiration then just a normal symbol of a pretty cool guy that drinks a certain type of beer. I also believe that I have ran into this problem with my latest submission of my research paper that was based around sneakers. I have always grown up loving sneakers, from waiting in crazy lines for just a chance at owning a pair to selling them for some extra money. While within my paper it just felt that again I was going in way to far about the details apposed to the sheer enlightenment that was actually present. Although it was difficult to find the scholarly to support my views, so I felt the need to almost change it along with the voice of other, and that is where I feel like I messed up. Writing a research paper involves annotations and citation, but it truly needs a motivated voice within it to keep readers entertained. While that is why I really wish if I had a second chance at that paper that I could portray my own appreciation better within my voice throughout the paper.
