My reflection: what did you learn from reading this essay that you did not know before, either about the text under analysis or about writing strategies in the essay?
After reading Chelsea's essay, I learned about different strategies to analyze an advertisement. Some of the specific elements that she focused on in her essay would not necessarily have been the elements I would have picked out, however, these elements do have a lot of importance in the overall message of the advertisement. Also, the connections that she made and the symbolism that she found in the ad that was not necessarily outlined specifically were very interesting to me because I am not sure that I would have made those connections when initially looking at the advertisement. She made some very good connections and inferences based on both what information was presented in the ad and also how that information was presented and how the lay out was constructed that I don't think I would have seen right away if I came across this ad in a magazine. Overall, she constructed a very good and interesting interpretation of the advertisement.
After reading Rachel's essay, I realized that there was a lot more for me to say in my essay about connections and the issues behind the advertisements. She did a very good job at discussing the issues that were connected to the advertisement, and it made me realize that there is a lot more that I can add to my essay concerning the connections and issues that my ad deals with.
