What I Learned: Course Analysis
Though the course of this semester, I have learned so many key concepts, that were taught in this class. I have learned the proper placement of a thesis sentence, and how to make it effective. I have also learned how to make in text citations. I know now that everything I have learned in this course, I would more than likely use, for the rest of my college career.

Since it is comedic, the show is popular amongst the younger generation. By getting young people involved in politics early, they could hopeful fix problems facing the nation. The use of satire, that I have learned in your class once again, worked outside of you class. In my speaking class I had to give a serious speech about accidental death and injuries because no one is safe. But, because I felt that it was too serious, I decised to use satire to lighten the mood. Not only were people entertained by satire, but they are also now informed about a serious issues. An issue that kills, more people, than we
