Reflective essay

In general I spent more than three hours for writing my work. All this is because of my own organization of writing. First of all perfectionism is a point of my character and it makes me do my best even if I do the work which requires not so much my attention. The desire to know as much information as possible in any subject I get as a task to write about makes me mad while working. Searching of proper and useful material takes one third of total time spent on work. After looking through some sources and links comes the second revision in order to pick up only worth ones. This also takes some time. Then comes wish just to sit calm and overthink everything accepted and perceived, but, as usual there is no time for such useful practice. After that making a plan or some kind of drafts come and only then some readable text with the beginning, main plot and conclusions. Checking spelling and grammar correctness also takes about 30 min. Usually, when I finish writing an assay I realize that it is not ideal and I have a strong desire to rewrite it completely. I begin to change paragraphs and find better synonyms and so on and so force.
To reflect your thoughts and ideas is not the same than to write something for which you have to make search, that is why it takes less time and efforts. Writing reflective Essay is much alike a stream of conscience when you just type your thoughts and that is all. But, of course, sometimes it is much easier just to render some topic.
The biggest problem is to collect the coming thoughts. After observing so much information I just do not know what will truly reflect the topic? Will I be successful in doing this? Especially get on nerves time limit. It is so needable at least a day to nourish everything in mind. Speaking about this very essay after having seen the advert of Dove, I just had some slight feelings, the edge of which I wanted to catch but failed. Continuous thoughts about time which passes quickly kill the entire creativeness. I wanted so much someone else to see that advert and to follow her\his reaction. But I had no opportunity to do this, unfortunately. This was the main problem. I see no ways to get rid of it, because it is just my style — to think before writing. If to mention future projects, I mean essays, It is so important to have much more time in order to absorb everything.
The global revision is the hardest and the most interesting work. Here you should read your compositions, to see their structure, to get sure that everything is logical and reflects the theme, that is that everything is connected with requirements and demands. When I just started my work I had a huge lot of information to speak about, but ell that was not what I wanted, the information was close to the topic but could not help me in my writing. The majority of revision is done in the beginning of work and in the last steps before sending the written document.
The sect most important and difficult is making all the sentences reflect the style, what is required. Sentences play a great role in text structure. You know, for example, composite sentences with homogeneous parts of speech, especially in the manner of enumeration, reflect the mood of anxiety, interest, rapidness, speed, strong emotions. And vice versa, long sentences with detachments, some complicated details reflect tiredness, boredom, and so on. I understand that the text should be neutral and all my emotions should be behind the given text, that is why sometimes it takes much time to change sentence levels to make text more objective.
This was a very interesting and exciting thing to give my writing to my peers. First of all, I tied to keep in mind that people are different, tastes differ. Everyone thought his or her responsibility to say me what they would have changed in my essay, especially in my description of events, which are going on in those two adverts of L’Oreal and Dove. I was really shocked when they agreed in the topic that really, the first advert is commercial, it is fir girl of thirteen or seventeen who are coach potatoes, who have no their style, that is why they have nothing to do but follow the recommendations of stars, of their idols and so on. The second, being social, shows that beauty is a subjective notion that has nothing in common with reality. Ideal exists to be, for other to be eager to reach, but it can not be. Thanks to my peers, they helped me much, but I will no listen to so many people any more. So many controversial ideas came.
Truly speaking they were no elements of the surprising reversal. I am a woman myself. I know what it is like – to be a woman, with drawbacks of the body and character. I think, method of contrast I used was of a great value to show the importance of the appearance and its influence on our life.
Some sentences are repeated in my paper. May be they are of no need, and it was enough to express the idea only once.
The wining points of my paper are as follows:
The topic is infinitive and endless: beauty of women.
The principle of contrast in order to show how different could be the ways to reach one and the same time.
Most people saw the described adverts, that is why it is much easier to find a common language with a reader and find a common language with him or her.
The essay is written in a easy for reading manner, that is why it will be acceptable for everyone
The weak points are:
Lack of time to do a proper work.
I try to be objective, but it is too hard to judge myself.
For me, as for a young lady, it was very interesting to know the truth about adverts. A really good, valuable product does not need any advert. All the adverts are based on human psychology, and advert makers new these simple rules when the advert will work. The first rule is to attact attention of a potential customer. Then to repeat one and the same things for several times till the client does not neglect this. The work is dome. The product is bought. The ways of achieving this are different, but the aim is very much the same. It was a good lesson, and the advert of Dove where it is shown how beauty is made, is a bright example of fiction and temporality and unreality of a real ideal. But it is so necessary to look beautiful for a woman and she will do everything possible, to come this will true.
