Convergences 2-24 ( My Interpretation)

After reading the pages in the Convergences textbook I learned a lot about the media and how it delivers messages to the masses. It’s interesting how some information is priority over other information and how things can be stretched to have different meanings within the media. This is important for me to know because I must begin to recognize different writing styles and techniques for my career choice. I want to be an immigration lawyer so writing will be a large part of my job.

If one looks at television, radio or internet, one will see that tons of information flows all around and through us. To truly be aware of the world around us and what’s going on in the news and society one must do research and look beyond the information beyond what the media selects for us. I believe that was the big picture of the passage of reading.

I feel it also touches on the writing process which is a fundamental skill every writer; professional or amateur should be equipped with. The four stages of the writing process are important to include in every paper, so I cant wait to brush up on those skills in this class.
