Writing becomes full of emotion when it is composed as a letter. The whole thinking process while writing in this format is different. The writer doesn't hold anything back because it is going to be read by one person. This letter should have complete thoughts due to the intended audience. The process of writing is easier as well because it requires telling the story the way it happened. It is a fun, simplistic, and unique way of helping enhance writing skills as a whole.

Making Sense-"Setting the Record Straight"

McCloud uses a unique method in his genealogy. He uses a comic form style to support his belief in comics. He points out that drawings used to be the way communication was done because there wasn’t a printing press. However, drawings as a way of communicating didn’t disappear when the printing press was invented. People looked down upon comics though as the years have passed. It has a stereotype attached to it which is difficult to shed. He uses the textbook definition as his way to point this out and it states, “Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in a deliberate sequence.” Today, people automatically associate comics with superheroes and things of that nature. This doesn’t have to be the case. This is McCloud’s point by writing this essay in comic form. A comic can say whatever the author wants it to say. He illustrates this in pictorial and verbal communication through this essay. Through this, he is very effective in driving across his point.

Essay-"On the Genealogy of Morals"

This essay begins to give me an idea of what a genealogy contains. The essay is based on two very simplistic words and ideas. It shows how over time the words "good" and "bad" have evolved. The essay elaborates on how the words had completely different definitions to each culture through the generations. Overall, the general words mean what they entail today. “Good” contains a positive image and “bad” contains a negative image. These words have specifically described people’s attitudes, egos, and ways of thinking of the course of time.
