Differences Between Essays #2 and #3

First of all, the two essays have different genres: #2 was an analysis while #3 was a persuasive essay. Despite this, my basic method of writing these essays remained the same. First, I would decide what I wanted to talk about and in what order. Then I would research the subject to find facts to back my statements up.

                However, I did notice a few differences. For example: my analysis essay had pictures while my persuasive did not. I added pictures of the ads I was analyzing so the reader could see what I was talking about and make their own decisions about the text. I didn’t think such images were necessary for my persuasive essay and searched for graphs instead. Unfortunately I didn’t find the right graph. I learned that I personally find it more difficult to find data charts and other graph than to find interesting ads.

                I also found that was a difference of time placement between the essays. My analysis was on how competition leads to technological advancement by studying ads from camera companies. Because of this, I had to choose ads from the 1800’s, 1900’s, and the 2000’s. On the other hand, my persuasive essay’s cause was to keep the arts in schools. Since this is a current problem, all of my sources were within 10 years of today.
