Visual Rhetoric Assignment Thus Far

This project is one that I find quite interesting because of how different it is.  I have never really analyzed anything before this class, especially a cartoon.  I thought that cartoons were simple drawings with very little text that didn't really say much.  But I was off by a long shot.  Within these adds that we were given or the one we chose there is a lot of value.  The ad is not only interesting but it is also able to tell a story of the subject and what the author was/ is thinking.  But as I got the details of this paper it scared me because I didn't think that there was any way to write five pages about a picture with two sentences.  In fact I wanted to ask if it was ok to write three pages, but I didn't.  So I began making an outline of the paper and as my outline grew so did my confidence.  After my outline was complete I thought that this project seemed a lot easier than before and I preceded to start it.  What I have done so far is pretty good but due to other circumstances I have not completed the paper.  But overall my thoughts about this project are positive because in order to do it you have to stretch the mind.  I would not change anything about this project.
