1. How did you go about analyzing the text? What methods did you use—and which ones were most helpful?
The text was helpful because it gave me the tools that I needed to craft a better analysis and paper. The one that was most helpful was analyzing the subject. This allowed me to objectively look at the two ads and determine what they were trying to convey to the audience.

2. How did you go about drafting your essay?
I saw a picture of a baby with a razor and it got me thinking about the ad itself and then I started thinking about it more and what goes into shaving. This was more of a personal selection of ads because I use or have used all of the products that I mention in my paper at some point in my life.
3. How well did you organize your written analysis? What, if anything, could you do to make it easier to read?
I didn't really organize anything. Most of my thoughts came as I was typing. I would have the pictures up and look at them and then go back to the paper to write. As far as reading, I'm not sure that anything else can be done.

4. Did you provide sufficient evidence to support your analysis?
I believe and I did. This paper got me out to do some outside research on the topic and I hope that it shows.

5. What did you do especially well?
I believe that I broke down the analysis fairly well and got the point that each ad was trying to make.

6. What could still be improved?
Tying each segment better to the previous. It seems I have trouble connecting, properly, my thoughts together to make it sound more fluid.

7. Did you use any visuals, and if so, what did they add? Could you have shown the same thing with words?
I did have the two ads that I used. I think that the addition of having visuals reiterates to the audience, what I was trying to put out.

8. How did other readers' responses influence your writing?
They helped me immensely because I type so fast sometimes that I completely forget to add in words, making the sentence confusing. With their help, I have gotten better at proof reading my own papers.

9. What would you do differently next time?
I think that I would have added a few more ads because my topic was about razors. I could have done a paper on the use of shaving cream, shave soap, or shave gel along with the razors and put all of those into a well presented analysis paper.

10. Are you pleased with your analysis? What did it teach you about the text you analyzed? Did it make you want to study more works by the same writer or artist?
I am pleased with my analysis and it taught me to look more careful at what are really saying to me.

11. What are the transferable skills you can take from this into other writing situations?
The skills that I learned will definitely be transferrable to my next paper and will also help me with my job in the Navy. As much as we use technology, we still have to formally write some things and what I learned on this paper will help me going forward.
