Moving:
1. The almost fast paced intro that parallels Red Bull its self.
2. The explanation of the title of Red Bull.
3. The personal experiences relayed to the reader in the paper, such as when the author went online to visit the Red Bull Site.
Not so moving IMO:
1. The flow of the paper was not great. The sentences and paragraphs for that matter have a choppy rhythm to it.
2. Repetitive.

Apple's iPod
The Moving:
1. The stats offered at the beginning of the paper were cool.
2. The detail oriented description of the iPod classic.
3. Highlighting the uses of the iPod, which make it superior.
Not So Moving IMO:
1. The long conclusion.
2. Lack of a connection to the reader.
3. After a little bit, it became a very technical and programming oriented paper.

A few questions.
1. Was the original poem to stereotypical for you?
2. Were most of the metaphors used to say that this is not your love?
3. Was your delivery of the lines used to invoke a comical response?
4. Was this changed in some respect to the original author?
5. Based on the metaphors, do you consider yourself to be better than your supposed love?
6. Do you see romantic poems as more comical than as an act of love?

Why I did my paper the way I did it.
1. White paper
2. Size 12, Times New Roman
3. Portrait Mode
4. No Work-Cited
5. 8x11 Paper
6. Double-Spaced
7. Black colored font
8. Single sided
9. Two staples in the corner
10. 1 inch margins
When I was asked why I made my paper in this format I thought to myself that it was generally how I was taught and I wouldn’t dare do it any other way. But, after thinking about the reason I would use them, I actually thought to myself I would prefer to stay in the format that I used. The format is not only what most teachers and professors ask for; it is the easiest way to do it after establishing a pattern and uniformity. While it is good to be creative is good most of the time, there are other ways to be creative rather than visually making a paper look stunning.
1. I used White Paper because it the standard. Also by making your paper white I think it would let your paper do the talking. The colors could get in the way of the message that you are trying to convey through your essay.
2. Like the white paper size 12, Times New Roman font is a standard and keeps the focus on the points. While changing font’s can be acceptable and there will not always be a loss of message it makes fair when it comes to the length of your work.
3. I didn’t even really know about portrait mode. I was told I was that my paper was in this mode, so I guess it is in portrait mode.
4. I really felt like I didn’t need a work-cited for this particular paper and I felt like I didn’t have sources. I did use another person’s blog, but I made note of that in my paper.
5. Do they even make anything other than 8x11 sized paper for printers. I don’t really know about paper, but if we used smaller paper I could easily do 6-7 pages of work. Don’t ask me about larger paper.
6. Double-spacing is also just a standard of writing a paper for a class. Years ago I was told by a teacher that it makes it easier to read and make not on. So I double-space to help the teacher or professor out.
7. Black font. It is kind of like the same as colored paper in regards to taking about what the paper is really about.
8. Single-sided is all I really know how to do as far as printing out paper. I would only do single-sided anyway. I like my full paper to have a heavy thick fell to it.
9. When I was in about 9th grade I was told that stapling a paper twice makes it easier to flip pages and that teachers and professors like it more. I have been following the “Two Staple Rule” ever since.
10. The 1-inch margin is pretty much the same as portrait mode. I would guess they go hand and hand.

Pantene
After watching the 4 minute Pantene commercial I was kind of at a loss for words. At first I found it to be an awesome commercial and a cool piece of film making. The director of this commercial was lucky to get for minutes in opposition to the normal thirty seconds or so that a director gets. This couldn't have been shown on television, but it still was a cinematic commercial. For some reason I could not make the connections to Pantene's hair products. It was still a good directorial effort by whoever directed it.
Wait! That wasn't a good commercial in my opinion. I didn't see the relevance of the commercials story. It was cool what they did with it visually and thing with the butterfly was kind of cool, but in ways it was stereotypical and uncreative. The first thing I noticed was the old man from a far who has been a mentor inspires the girl to play violin. There was also the fact that all the fuss was over classical instrumentation, Asian people have to play a classical instrument. At the end of the commercial when the man ends up in the hospital, we are shown that there has to be a reason for this girl to be inspired. After re-watching the commercial I noticed that the girl did flip her hair a lot while playing the violin and I said to myself "she does have nice hair though".
