The blog posting of “What’s in your wallet?” is the perfect example of how I grasped the audiences attention and kept them interested. I wanted to avoid the dreaded list. No one wants to read what is in someone’s wallet if all what one is going to do is put it in a list. I decided to make it funny and myself. The assignment was to show that the things in your wallet describe who you are as a human being. The time of which I was to post that, I had a lot of just junk in my wallet, so I thought it was a perfect time to bring in some humor. “Then comes all the coupons that I can possibly find in my wallet.” This is one example of how I tried to avoid saying I have junk, but my wallet definitely shrunk after I removed all the coupons. The other sentence that I tried to turn into a funny was, “Red Robin Bottomless Rewards card (Red Robin…YUM!), a Starbucks card, an Old Navy gift card (about three years old).” My goal was to try and tell the audience who I was through humor, objects, and the last part of the assignment; what wasn’t in my wallet that I wish was. My objective was to inform the audience who I am through the fold of my wallet, and this helped me become more comfortable writing in a discussion board for the whole class to see.
I am glad that this assignment was at the beginning of the quarter because this helped boost my confidence for the reason that my other classmates now know who I am as a writer. This assignment, in other words, helped me be who I am through writing and that is how I became so comfortable in this class.
