Essay 2

This essay has been a lot easier for me to write. I think it has a lot to do with absences, I wasn't gone nearly as much with this essay. I didnt miss an important class and I knew exactly what I needed to do. I watch a lot of reality t.v and so writing about it was simple. I dont really pay attention enough to ads making that essay a lot harder to write. Back to this essay though, I wrote about my favorite shows The Hills and Real World. I never noticed how fake these shows were until we started studying them. I never even knew there was a thing called typecasting until recently. Also having more experience writing in a college setting has helped me. I didnt have the experience and knowledge I needed to write the first essay correctly and now that I know everything I learned in high school is wrong it makes it easier for me to do things right, according to college standards. I also never realized how much alcohol was used to make people's lives more interesting. If it weren't for alcohol and the way people act when they're drunk the shows would be boring and I probably wouldn't watch them nearly as much. My life isn't too interesting so watching someone get screwed over and all the drama that goes along with that makes me want to watch the show. This essay showed me how producers use people to make money, and how they alter shows to raise ratings. This essay is a lot more in depth than the first and it is more of an opinion essay. I love to be outspoken and tell people my opinions whether or not they want to hear them so writing an essay that is mainly all about my opinion was easy. I still have to work on a few things and fix a little bit of my essay but overall it is going well. In the end I think that I will be back on track with my grades and essays after this week, HOPEFULLY!
