always my first essay entitled Buy Me, Please was some of my best work."

worked well in this essay?"

essay was fun to do. To be able to write an essay off of just one picture is amazing to me. The best part of the
essay was when I made the connection between photo and both walks of life, our poor and rich. Heres a passage from the
essay to demonstrate........The advertisement published in 1933 by Dodge appealed to the masses, those that already live the
luxurious lifestyle and those that aspire to be a part of that elite society.
M.M "What
writing assignment gave you the most difficulty?"
P.J "I
found it most difficult to write our second paper, cause and effect."
M.M "Why?"

think my problem with this paper steemend from the fvact that I was unable to choose my own topic. The topics that were
picked were ones in which I did not have any background knowledge of."

P.J "I
really dont believe I did...and my grade reflects so."

soul into it you can accomplish anything no matter how much you dont enjoy it."
M.M "What
have you learned about yourself as a reader?"
P.J "I
don't think I learned anything new about myself as a reader. I love to read. I pick up a good novel at every opportunity."
M.M "What
have you learned about yourself as a critical thinker?"
P.J "This
is a question I have pondered on since I took philosophy this past summer semester. I still feel as if I have a long
way to go in that department."
