reaction to paper one.

For me, writing the small object/large subject essay was interesting. I wasn't sure if I was approaching it at the right angle but I think I know where to go when correcting my first draft. I went to the writing center with my ideas and I found it very helpful. The woman I worked with helped to organize my ideas and show me where the strong points of my essay were. On my rewrite I realize now that I must include more of an argument rather than just stating facts about my product. I chose the topics of laptops because I found it the easiest to relate to. I, myself, own a laptop and use it every day. As a student, I feel that it is mandatory to have access to one so it wasn't too hard to find an approach to this paper. I will admit that it was hard to write 5 pages about laptops because there is only so much you can say without becoming repetitive. I don't feel that this was my best work, but then again that is what first drafts are for right? I've never written anything like this before so it was new to me. I think it is an interesting concept because one is taking a simple product and expanding so much on it. I didn't realize how many ideas could be derived some such an ordinary product. The most intriguing point I found was that it has become pretty much required to own a laptop computer in college, but in reality not everyone can afford one. Students that have access to a laptop and can bring it back and forth to class with them can be said to have an unfair advantage over the students that do not possess one. I think that this is a very strong argument and I an amazed by how impacting an ordinary product, such as a laptop, has become in our everyday life.
