Essay 3.1 Reflection

For me this essay was challenging to write. The format was something that was completely new to me so trying to outline the essay took a few tries. I found that I really like the format though. Coming up with a  compromise at the end fit my topic very well. I think  I would struggle to use this format for a more controversial issue, however. While it was easy to plea with Broadway producers to add a little more art and passion to what is essentially a Las Vegas style show nowadays, I think trying to find a middle ground on a more heated topic such as abortion or gay rights would be very difficult. I think I learned that in order to compromise,  one must ask for something that the opposite side has not clearly stated they will not do. Broadway producers don't fight against the artistic value of their productions; they just dont find it necessary. I think that helped me a lot.
