Dang iPod

For me, writing the small object/large subject essay was very entertaining and influential...what I mean is now I want to buy the new iPod Nano, the one with the video camera! How could some information and advertising make me want to ditch my beloved iPod and get a new, red, pedometer-including, video-recording, iPod Nano? After writing so much about how the iPod is cherished here, it made me think about how we as consumers just want, want, want and I do want more! I'll give the old one to my mother, that makes up for it right? As I researched about the iPod, I got to really see how popular iPods really are- millions of people own them. Yes, if you walk outside everyday, you WILL see at least one person with an iPod- but to see hard core facts about how in demand they are, it is astonishing. Not only do people own iPods, but Apple itself had run out of many iPhones because the consumer demand was so high, and not enough were made. I guess Apple didn't know that their phones would be that demanded... Writing this paper was very beneficial to my rambling and freedom of expression; it wasn't just "what did this author mean by this line?" or "how does this story compare to that story- don't forget to use your literary elements!" I hate those papers, and I understand we need to write those types as well, but the expressive ones are better. They are more flexible and you can tweak them to fit your preferences and as long as you put research and back up your data, you are good. So yes, iPods are great...but so are expressive-writing papers :)
