Essay # 2

Today I turned in my second essay for my English class; it was called Comedy Equals Reality. I this essay I wrote an argumentative essay stating that comedy television is reality based because of the issues that they tackle in their shows. By comedy shows addressing these issues it makes the show more appealing to the viewers because they can relate to the characters because they themselves have been in that same situation. Anyways I feel that this essay went much smoother than the first. I don’t know why maybe it was because I had to knock off the dust or what, but I definitely feel much better about this one. It hasn’t been a very long time since I wrote an essay but I guess I just had to really get into the topic and into the writing mood. Besides that I never really wrote anything on television before it was always about the literature in out textbooks. Personally, that stuff never interested me, so now when I got a chance to write and essay about television I became interested in the subject and was able to just flow when I wrote my essay. Even when I went to write the rough draft for peer conferences I ended up writing two and a half pages unintentionally, not to say that I didn’t want to write I lot. I mean the way it came out I expected to sit there and stare at a blank page for a long time trying to figure out what I wanted to write about, but I didn’t it just completely flowed. So I feel pretty good about this essay so I will see how good I did after spring break.
