Convergences

The recent reading from Convergences honestly made me a little more excited about this class. The whole concept of not just looking at a picture, but also seeing what message the photographer was trying to send and how they got their message across I find extremely interesting. In a way the passage I read opened up my mind when I looked at a picture I simply saw a picture, where as now I want to almost decipher the pictures meaning. I have not previously even discussed medium, message, and the method so everything is new to me. I thought it was really interesting when I read that the media in the world today, shows you what they want you to see, and not actually what happened. I also found it interesting that a book and a movie about that same book can seem completely different, can be expressed in two different forms and yet they still deliver the same message. The book already seems like it is the exact opposite of what I thought it was going to be, I am almost excited to read it because it is so different then everything I previously have learned in my writing classes.
