Opinion on first essay

             My opinion on the first essay is that it is challenging and time consuming, but not too difficult.  I've had to pace myself and receive two help sessions from the writing center, so I've definitely tried to do the best with the assignment.  I think that analyzing rhetoric has helped me understand advertisements and how literary elements are evoked in their arguments that are used to sell their products.  This essay is a great first essay for the class, starting our writing off not too hard but not too simple.  The key to this writing assignment is to not procrastinate, but to start on it a week early.  I believe this is what all English professors want their students to do.
