Reflection on Essay #1

Essays can be fun and if nothing else then interesting. That would have to be the main thing I have found out about writing. The process also seemed to be very different to that of writing in high school where much less "fluff" was involved. The information found via the group discussion was also very prurient to dispelling what I thought I knew about essays; I understood writing much more from a fictitious narrative perspective versus as a formal paper. I did notice that my style revolved mainly around rhetorically presenting information and questions so as to direct the reader as opposed to showing the information, I included connections.

The topic of the essay itself made me question who I was as I went along and what I was doing with in my own musical ventures. Over all, it inspired me musically to do more and create more, writing included. I was truly able to delve into my topic which I found to be more and more intriguing as I went along.

Last but not least, I was pleased with the end result and thought it was very enlightening to find the significance in what I was writing through the rhetorical situation, audience and overall goal of my paper
