This post's message is to prove that I read the assignment and understand it's content. The method of this post is blatantly pointing out things I found interesting in the reading and the medium is this blog. The assignment did help me to feel more comfortable with the concepts of message, method, medium. For me, it's really easy to disregard these tools of writing while reading something but I understand that I miss a lot when I don't take the time to consider these elements. Something I thought was interesting in the text was the bit on audience just because I think the book itself does a fairly good job of connecting to it's audience. The pages I read were filled with interesting pictures and anecdotes that related well with the points it was trying make. Even the way it was written was to the point and easy to understand.

To appeal to my readers I'm starting a new paragraph because it's easier to read bits and pieces then a big chunky paragraph.Something else I'd like to comment on is the comparison of art and writing. The book frequently used examples of images instead of passages to explain message, method and medium. I just find it interesting that though art it's easier to understand these concepts and that the ways of analyzing art and writing are the same. It could be said that the writing is just an medium of art. The terms message, method and medium are really broad and could be applied to plenty of things such as film, music, or comedy. Because these tools of understanding can be applied to so many different types of art I would say it's a pretty important thing to know.
