So I haven't really talked about myself on here or really expressed who I am, so I'll do that now. To start off with, my name is Vanida and I am a freshman at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois. I am 18 years old and majoring in biology. I am an only child with a mother who plays both the mother and father role. I currently don't really know where life is taking me right now but I hope its something I will be satisfied with. I used to have dreams of traveling the world one day and working with animals. I still do. Animals and exploring new places are my passion. I hope to one day visit London, a place that I have always wanted to visit. I dream of living in California with the hot sun beating down on my face and living next to the beach. It all sounds like a dream to be honest. Something unrealistic. But I hope one day I will find peace with myself and finally feel settled down.

Guided Relfection

1. A scene that really affected me was when Vincent Moto was talking about how he had served his time in prison just to be proven innocent and how he wasted 10 and a half years of his life in jail for something he didn't do. He felt like he couldn't be a father to his kids because he couldn't support them or be there for them while he was in jail. This made me very angry because after he was released, he received no compensation. This is not only wrong but inconsiderate to him and his family. As he said in the documentary, he missed out on life during what was supposed to be his prime years and he can never get them back. He received nothing for the mistake that THEY made. He now has to live his life harder than before. It will be much harder for him to find a well-paying, stable job. 2. The fact that all of these people were accused of something that they didn't do and that they had to spend all of this time serving when they were innocent all along. Their lives wer...

Reflection In high school, I wasn’t a very strong writer. I never really knew how to write a paper and didn’t know how to format it. I took AP classes and I never really got good grades on my papers and never really revised them either. I would write a first draft and have that be my final draft. That was probably not the smartest thing to do. If there’s one thing I learned from this class, it is to revise, revise, revise. “Write early, revise often” is what Dr. Kyburz always said. When I first entered the classroom of my College Writing I course, I was determined to become a better writer. I would learn how to edit my drafts, get them checked over, and learn how to format. For me, the documentary summary project was my favorite to write about. It was very interesting to pick a documentary to watch and learn about. The documentary I chose was The Hunting Ground. This opened my eyes to a whole new concept that I never knew was a major issue. This paper was pretty difficult for...

Tide Ad

When I first watched this ad during the Superbowl, I found it to be pretty funny and have some humor to it. When the ad is first being introduced, you don't really know what kind of ad it is, or what it is for, which I'm assuming was their purpose at first. By having a well-known famous actor, David Harbour, known for his role as "Chief Hopper" in the popular Netflix series Stranger Things , they already have the audience hooked on what this ad is about. The fact that he points out at the very beginning that this could be just another Superbowl car ad or another typical beer ad has the audience guessing what the ad is really trying to portray. When he announces that this ad is in fact a Tide ad, you wonder how can it be a Tide ad? This ad uses rhetoric by simply showing throughout the video the clothes that people are wearing. Since this is a Tide ad, the clothes that every person is wearing seems to be clean and spotless. Well, this is their purpose. Even before ...
