1. I believe my writing strength is being descriptive in what I am writing about. Although my weaknesses are sometimes to jump from one topic to another.
2. I do enjoy reading, I just do not always make the time or have the motivation to pick up a book and read. Mysteries and books with drama interest me most.
3. One goal I have for the semester is to develop my writing skills, and learn to have more flow through my papers. I could also use help working on using better grammar.

In my reading for this week I learned about photo essays and how they convey the central argument through pictures. This helps to apply to our literacy narrative in class because we also have to use photographs or some type of visual aid to represent a literacy moment in our lives.
In a broader topic, I learned about designing visual arguments. I found there are many ways to do so including, op-ads, photo essays, websites, or montages. In this class we are allowed to choose from any of those options to do our project. I think this will help people to get a better idea of all the options out there.

1. What does spam mean to the writer of the essay?
Spams' significance resides in its capacity to tell us who we are or perhaps who we are not. She believes Spam matters because it invites us to know ourselves in terms of our response to it.
2. How does she support it?
Her family memories and memories with friends.
