# 14 Bye Bye Blogs: Thank you for the Lesson

Overall, I have enjoyed writing argumentative blogs about Seinfeld. However, it has been a great challenge for me to learn the style of argumentative writing. Arguing about specific aspects of Seinfeld wasn’t exactly easy in the beginning because I was not too familiar with the show at first. It was a lot different to go from studying literature to studying recent comedy. I never knew that sitcoms had so much cultural significance and underlying references to them. For instance, it was really interesting to learn about all of the Jewish references in Seinfeld. I never would have picked up on this if I was watching the sitcom by myself. It was also interesting to analyze the television characters and how they evolved over time. As a Friends fanatic, I now want to review all the episodes from season one, and analyze their characteristics thoroughly.

In addition to learning and writing about the popular aspects of Seinfeld, I had to learn to tighten my writing. This was hard for me because I would always initially write my blogs with about 300-400 words. When I did word check, I was shocked because I didn’t know I had written this much! Limiting my wording really helped me become a better writer. I realized that a lot of my sentences were either useless or redundant. In conclusion, over the past semester I have learned to look beneath the surface of a sitcom, and I have learned how to argue and tighten my writing. It may not have been easy, but becoming a better writer was worth the challenge.
