Reflection Essay 3

Although this essay is not completely finished for me, I still feel like I can reflect on this paper. For me, it was a completely revolutionary experience in writing. I had to fight my urges to just argue my point with no holds what so ever. Passive voice was almost encouraged, another idea I have never dealt with. Topic choice seemed to be the biggest issue for me. Many of my classmates chose issues where you would have a successful argument if you changed the mind of an opposing audience. For me, finding a topic that could be suggested to have no difference or no change for the audience in terms of view point seemed crucial. Instead of suggesting that Broadway producers start doing completely different shows or appealed to a completely different audience, I proposed a "best of both worlds scenario" in which they could achieve mass appeal as well as strive to maintain an artistic ideology that production staff members strive to reach. I feel that this approach was perfect for the compromising aspect of this paper. It allowed me to stay away from more controversial topics.
