The day I was given the assignment to write a visual rhetoric essay my first thought was oh great an essay.  Writing essays is one of my least favorite things and then to be told I have to write a 1500 word essay did not help.  I dreaded the thought of writing this essay.  However, once I started writing the essay it wasn’t too bad.  I was able to just write about the point that I was trying to make.  Even though the essay wasn’t too bad after I got started, when I came to finishing the essay it was a challenge.  I like that we were given freedom with writing the essay, but I just don’t like writing essays in general.
