Exercise 2:

If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monologue, this was it: dressing up your dog. Isn't that like putting a collar on your baby? Whatever happened to animal rights?
I happen to sympathize with pet owners, though, perhaps because although I would rather not see my dog dressed up in ridiculous ensembles, it is quite amusing to see them dressed up as a pumpkin or a bunny.

SCREENSHOT ASSIGNMENT:
This composition inparticular was especially difficult in terms of vocabulary, format, and overall construction. When this assignment was brought to my attention, I realized that the required format for the paper was one that I had never been taught in highschool. When I saw my composition as a screenshot, I thought it was very interesting that I can view and save some of my most difficult assignments just by the press of a button. Now I realize that as I view multiple internet pages, I can save them as a screenshot if I'm in a hurry, allowing me to take a look back at what I had previously been doing, had I forgotten. To me, composing changes shape in digital spaces because it allows us to see what was written, and at what point in time it was written. Digital spaces bring somewhat of an interesting point by allowing the reader to predict what was on the writer's mind at that particular moment. By picking out details from a specific work, we can better understand digital composing. By looking at different details from a specific work, we can better understand digital composing. By looking at different details in a composition, one can determine the author's writing style, tone, and overall main message that is being written about. Overall, I believe that pictures can make the composition easier to understand to fellow readers. With the addition of pictures, it is more likely that the reader will better understand the concept of the work. In my opinion, screenshots can be very useful and informational in times of stress or struggle.
