            In this course I learned a lot of stuff. Some of them were new and some of them I knew already. A college English class is far more difficult than a high school one. In high school they teach you a 5-paragraph easy and that is it. Now that I am in college I got really confused because of all the new methods or ways to write a paper.  MLA, APA and others were something that I have never heard before. Also being in this class helped me a lot on my English skills. Taking an English course and not being a native speaker is very hard because my vocabulary is very limited and that why I have to look for help. Looking for help was something that was not hard for me. A high school teacher offered himself to help me with my papers and thanks to him I could get most of my papers turned in. I also thank the teacher because she showed us a lot of new methods to write a paper like TS/CD and old information and new information. These were helpful and at the same time a little difficult to use until I got used to them. Getting used to them took and is taking time. I have to keep improving the way I write and my English skills. Thanks a lot.

The Ad analysis was a little complicated for me to complete. I had to look for help and ask what I should really do. One of my high school teachers helped me a lot with this assignment.  The assignment consisted on picking one advertisement and explaining what were the ways that people would get attracted by it. There were different kinds of needs that people would look at, like the need of attention, the need of sex, the need of power, and many others. These needs would apply to different kinds of people, depending on the age, way of viewing life, etc. The makers of advertisements just have one thing in mind how to get people attracted to buy the product they are trying to sell.

            The resume was a really easy thing to do. In the beginning I had difficulties in what information to put or how to organize it all. I searched for some help and in less than an hour my resume was done. Little by little I understood what employers were going to look in it. An education, school activities and work experiences were some of the fields to fill, as well as references. References play a big role in the resume because they will tell future employers if you really are qualified or responsible for the kind of job you applied. In all kinds of jobs they are looking for specific things to find in the person who is applying for it, it might be the education or the school activities. These two go together; the education you get will tell the employer if you really are into being responsible and meet the requirement for the job, as well as the school activities.

What exactly is humor? Humors is the ability or the quality of being funny or make people laugh. Jim Carey movies are funny; I think they are the best movies to choose if you want to laugh for a while or have a good time with friends. When something is funny I definitively have to laugh out loud. The article about the cocaine dealer was not funny I think it was more of a situation where he was desperate and did not know what in that situation, so he called the police knowing that he had drugs. The decision that he made in my opinion was not the best one, but like I said maybe he was desperate and did not know what to do.

What is style? Style is a particular, distinctive, or characteristic mode of action or manner of acting. Style can be expressed in many ways; it can go from the way you dress to the way to write a paper. Dressing in a particular way can say a lot about the person you are as well as the way you write your papers. Writing in a particular way defines who you are and what the purpose of your writing is.
