Blog #7

Humor to me is sarcasm and intelligent/subtle humor. Don't get me wrong I like some slapstick but obvious funny is usually not the what really gets me. Unexpected comments or actions are, to me, the most hilarious thing. I think I'm quite funny but I know that I am only funny to some. Most people don't get it or do and just think I'm being a jerk.
If I were to put a face to my kind of style it would have to be Al Pacino or Denzel Washington. Both always play no nonsense characters, Bad***es. Straight to point kind of style. I don't know if I writing actually shows what I see as stylish but I know that my humor often comes out.

I had an exceptionally hard time writing the critical analysis. It was hard for me to take what I had watched and look deeper into it. I'm a very face value kind of person. I have the capability of looking for deeper meanings but I takes me longer than most, I think. I rewrote the introduction about five times before I actually settled on what I liked. Once the intro was wrote it was slightly easier. I won't say that it was easy because it wasn't but at least I had some direction. At first I was trying produce a piece that was not so obvious but that proved to be nearly impossible, at least for me. I had to go the more traditional route to have enough to write about. I said that I wrote the intro 5 times but I wrote the whole paper at least twice. I'm not 100% happy with what I wrote but that's only because I've written a critical analysis before and was not completely sure what I needed to be doing. I think that I wrote and acceptable paper but am planning to have to rewrite it.

I did really well with the evaluative summary. My point was clear and easy to follow. I had supported my material well throughout and used effective citations from the article. I do not think there is anything I would change about what I wrote. I feel that I have produced the best possible paper that I could.
