After reading the about analyzing a text i can't say I'm very excited about it. There are two types of papers that i find fun/get excited to right: creative papers like narratives and stories, and research papers where you are trying to convince the reader of your point of view. From the time i was young teachers always said the strongest parts of my paper were my 'voice' and it's a God thing i had that because before computers and spell check my grammar and punctuation were awful. But i like to but my personality into my writing, which is pretty difficult to do in this type of situation. I have to write a paper analyzing something, no real creativity there, and my opinion on the subject is no real part of it, so no real convincing. I do have to find different levels on which to analyze whatever it is, but to me that is more a use of intelligence than creativity or personality. And i use intelligence in every other class.
All in all I'm not thrilled about this assignment but hopefully i can make it fun for myself or at least interesting. It's not like all those sample ones were boring to read, I'm just not sure how much fun they would be to write. They one about the painting got Hotel California in my head, which was a bit annoying after a while but it is a good song. I was glad i read it though because i had been confused on how to write one of these things so now at least i have many examples to draw from so that is a plus. I always work better when i have an example.
