This essay was by far the hardest I have ever had to write. Personally, I think I am a very
persuasive, argumentative type of person when it comes to facts, so it was definitely a struggle
to write this paper. Because of this, I intended for this essay to describe the ad image that I
chose based on what I had in front of my face. The purpose of it was to show my thought
process and not to tell people to think the same way I do, but to inform them why I thought
things were the way they were. I wanted this to help the reader to have an idea of what is going
on and make their own conclusions. The readers are people who do not see gender role
stereotypes as a huge issue, as they would be able to understand the analysis part better. For

make a decision on which advertisement could help me pull out the most information.
Unfortunately, the one I chose was really hard for me to analyze, but I pulled through the day
before it was due. Honestly, I did absolutely zero planning for this essay because I had a hard
time with it in the first place. However, when I finally picked an image, I made a list like the

improvement and gave me ideas to change those areas. I do wish that they would have given
me some ideas of more claims, but they both told me they did not know how I even made that
many claims myself since it was such a straight forward ad. As I said before, the in-class
activities analyzing the Red Robin and Mr. Clean ads was super helpful. Whenever I was stuck on
My experience with analysis was extremely slim before this essay. Now that I am done, I
feel like I am more successful with this process, but definitely not perfect. I am not a fan of it at
all, but I know that it makes me a better, more complex writer. My visual analysis affects the
reader in triggering their minds by sharing new and creative ideas with them.
