Unit 2 Reflection

I feel like it is fitting to go back to my roots and illustrate how I understand the difference between eastern and western perspectives on love.

I really wanted too choose a different topic than unit one because it would show another side to my interests. However, the consequence of researching a new topic is that it brings the risk of causing disinterest for my audience. As a result, I had to approach the writing very particularly because the audience I am aiming towards are mainly interested in media and romance. Therefore, it was important to me tot make the style of writing rather informal yet informative. This also caused me to ouse television and film as a decent part of my research because it ideally is an interesting topic for the readers. The research process however was rather difficult because I would have to connect text based articles and proof of it occurring in popular film. For example, I connected Ted Mosby’s speech about what love is in How I Met Your Mother with how it is displaying a Russian perspective on romantic relationships. I also feel like I was generally successful with engaging the audience in both my pitch and final portfolio because I brought in different forms of media too break up the large amount of reading that is done. However, it is no surprise that as I continue writing I have points of to improve on. The aspect I am most focussed on currently is analysis which I attempted to improve upon in the Unit 2 portfolio but I still have a ways to go. Finally, I feel as though I can bring my focus on analysis into everything I do, especially my art. This is because analysis causes me to be more careful with what I do and how I approach that work at hand which is very helpful in life.
