opinion

I enjoyed writing this essay about the cartoon. I was able to express strong feelings and opinions in any way I chose. I rather liked the freedom I had to choose a cartoon, but found it a bit difficult to find one. I needed one that I could write 1500 words about, therefore one with a strong message, and one that inspired me with a lot to say.

Having finally found one, the rest was quite simply gravy. I had fun picking apart the cartoon bit by bit. Dissecting its surface, to really get down deep into its true meaning. I liked researching the history behind it, and finding out why the cartoon was ironic. I delighted in connecting this simple cartoon to very complex problems and social aspects of today’s society. I loved that my cartoon was in essence a slap in the face to America, using media to scrutinize media.

The only other difficult part besides actually finding the cartoon was organizing it into something supportive of my argument. I had so many thoughts, that I just started typing them, so I rambled a lot, and had to go back and revise and restructure. I think I actually had the conclusion as my first paragraph. But now that I have made all my thoughts come together, I believe I have a really good subject matter and problem to discuss. This paper helped me realize my opinions on a lot more things than just that of the cartoon. My scope of the world increased and I became enlightened to myself.
