The analysis assignment was very interesting to do. The assignment was to choose an artifact (music video, magazine, picture, etc) and connect it with one of the three readings. The process was somewhat complicating because I am not the best writer, ans I have trouble making things more broad and coming up with ideas or things to say. My hook and introduction was the hardest to come up with for me. I chose Beyonce’s music video “Formation.” I think it was a little complicating because not only she showed many things in her video like police brutality, how the government and others forgot about Hurricane Katrina, and the black community but also she said those things as well. My strength was the body paragraphs and backing up the things I was saying with evidence from the video and article I chose. I think this assignment was important because it shows how to take things and analyze them together. I have done an assignment like this in Writ 101 but without using a music video. I think I did okay on this assignment because I do think I have some things that could be better. The part that was in class that somewhat helped me with this assignment was peer review. Peer review is always helpful because it gives you more ideas and things to add, if you forgot or something, to your paper. I really liked my paper because I connected with it not only because I am a young black female but because Beyonce is praising the black community and showing some challenges that is happening in the world today and how everyone just forgot about Hurricane Katrina. Plus, I like the song. I think this assignment helped me as a writer.
This assignment was a little challenging using all the artifacts/sources that are all different. Overall, I think I did okay. I could’ve done better if I gave more commitment, effort, and time into it but overall I did okay.
