Reflection

The first paper I read, by Brad Miller, was about the poster of Muhammad Ali and the Adidas phrase "Impossible is Nothing."  I learned a lot from reading this paper...not only more about the great Ali, but also about how if you put your mind to something, you can achieve anything.  I really admire Muhammad Ali, although I didn't know too much about him.  When my grandfather was sick in the hospital, Ali was sick with Parkinson's disease around the same time and actually stayed in the hospital room directly next to my grandfather's room.  He stopped by his room and talked to him and encouraged him.  This gave me a lot of respect for Ali.  Therefore when I see ads with him on it, I greatly appreciate them.  I enjoyed reading this paper because I learned more and felt more encouraged just as he had encouraged my grandfather.
The second paper I read, by Christopher Mckee, was about a chick-fil-a ad on an interstate near Florence, SC.  This paper was very entertaining because it was funny and kept my attention.  I am a huge animal lover so when Christopher was talking about how the cow was trying so hard to save himself by trying to get people to "Eat Mor Chicken," it made feel bad for the cow and I will probably actually go do that right after I finish this post.  His paper was well written, and made me hungry! I want some chick-fil-a....
