1) I have done visual analysis but not visual analysis essays. The process for the visual analysis was just looking at a picture and try to interpret it meaning bases on the context. The visual analysis essay was more in depth and required more analysis and interpretation of the image. The experiences for interpreting the visual was similar however, the essay was much more in depth. 2)The assignment was straightforward, I feel. The questions that we came up with in class helped in the process of writing. The questions served as a basic guide or outline.

That seems sensible if you think research...confirming result. That is, when this approach is followed, it's no accident that the end results are unsurprising;the whole point of this approach to doing research is that there will be no surprises!"(75) This quote got me thinking, if research was meant so that there will be no surprises, then what is the purpose of doing research if you know the outcome.
