Image Analysis/ Synthesis Essays

When I began writing my image analysis, I had no clue where to go after I wrote the descriptions for my images.  I remember doing a similar assignment in high school, but it didn’t compare to the complexity of my college level writing whatsoever.  After I wrote the descriptions, I tried to relate the images together and write with a sense of ownership about both of them.  They both were advertised with sexual appeal, so I wrote about how sexual appeal sells to the public from the media.

When I read the assignment sheet for the synthesis essay, I was very nervous because I had no idea what to write about.  After choosing a topic and reading the articles, I was excited to write my synthesis essay about generation because I felt so strongly about the issue.  One of the articles talked negatively about my generation, so I felt like I could write with a sense of ownership and defend my generation.  After I knew what I wanted to say, my paper was written so much easier because all of my thoughts spilled out into ideas and I didn’t stop writing until I was finished.

Beginning my essays, I felt very uneasy about both of them.  After getting more knowledge about the assignments and writing with a sense of ownership, my essays became a lot easier and I was very proud of the outcome of both of them.  I feel so much more comfortable writing image analysis and synthesis essays now.
