1. Creative writing cannot be taught, this is something I have always believed, and it is such a relief that on page 444, Hillard agrees with me. It's not something that you can teach to someone, it's something that is natural to you, creativity. You cannot teach someone to be creative.
I have always felt this way, because i've taken numerous writing classes, art classes, attended art camps, the whole 9 years, and it someone isn't creative, then they just simply aren't creative. I think that in classes, you can show someone the path to being creative, and you can show them the fundamentals, but you cannot get someone to be creative. You can only do some much. I feel this is important, because you need to have creative people on your team in both an advertising career, and a PR career. To know your creative side is to be in touch with you imagination, and in jobs like these, that's always important.
OK, so you grabbed me with that MEDIA'S EFFECT ON WOMEN, Cait.

This is an EXCELLENT final TOP 10 REVELATIONS final examination (part 2) post.
Really impressive synthesis of Hilliard, our class conversations, and other texts we explored, like THE PERSUADERS. And your use of EMBEDS and hyperlinks is SPOT ON.
I will be posting final grades by this week-end online.
Thanks for your participation in our course, and enjoy your summer!
Remember to keep meditating on your media...
