Convergences

While reading through the pages in Convergences it really made me think a lot about how people use different techniques to do things. Everything varying from a writing to a picture has an important meaning that you have to find out yourself. Everyone has their own way of portraying their ideas because everyone thinks differently and has different approaches. One important thing that I learned is that while you are reading or even looking at a picture you should always ask yourself questions. By doing this you might be able to understand why the author did it this way and not another. Another important thing is that when writing you should always use an outline. Outlines are a key factor in having a well written paper. My teachers always used to make us write outlines for all of our essays because they would say that it would help us and make sure the paper was put together right. I also learned that a message can be made it many different ways. As I was reading there was a part about proposing and how any different ways people can do it. From watching tv and movies, these days you see just about every way that someone can propose. In the past years a simple question to ask has become a big thing where you now can do just about anything you want with it as in putting it on a billboard and many other ways. Just from reading these few pages I learned a lot about messages, mediums and methods.
