When I look back at the past semester in English 105, I am happy with my progress and accomplishments. At the beginning of the semester I was not very excited to take the class because I had already taken a similar class and I have not enjoyed English in the past. While English and writing is still not my favorite subject or class, I did not hate it nor did I feel unsuccessful. At the beginning of the semester I said that my main focus for the class was to learn to express myself through writing better. I believe that I have improved in this area. I think I grew in this area especially during the Ad Analysis Essay. I felt like I communicated well with what I was thinking.

The Calvin Klein advertisement features a woman with a nude torso positioned on top of man with a nude torso. The visual elements presented in the second ad by Calvin Klein create visual texture; the ocean/rocks surrounding the human figures creates a frame focusing the eye on the bodies in the centre. The woman’s fixated body pulling away from the male model attracts the viewer down her arm, to her waist pointed at the logo at the bottom of the page (right-hand-side).
