Essay 3 Reflection

My issue I wrote about was stereotype threat to women. I found really good research on my topic for both popular and scholarly source which I was thankful for because sometimes finding scholarly sources that directly relate to your topic is difficult. Adding the play into my essay was a little difficult because I didn't remember exactly what they said in the play and so I had to watch the play again. Once I did bring my examples together, I thought it made the essay flow a lot better and take more meaning.

I didn't have a hard time writing about stenotypes threat because I did find it interesting to write about so I made sure to do my research. I thought my topic was my mom successful part of this essay because I actually care about my topic, I found that quite a few topics I choose in essays just happen to be 'fighting for female rights' oriented. I think the most challenging thing for me was looking for play quotes and to find examples of the play because I couldn't find the play anywhere.

His skill in doing so made him a spokesperson not just for his own generations but for the people who continue to face the same struggle for equality.                The point of the alternative canon is to include works of writing that show different points of view, the truth about the wretched. In Georg M. Gugelberg’s ‘Dec...

Essay 4 reflection

Finding connections in this essay for me was extremely tough. I was able to think of my first connection between The Pit and The Pendulum and Oscar Wao relatively easily, but after that, it took me what felt like forever to find connections. I kept going from story to story to try to find a similar theme and finally I did. It was very hard to figure out other connections because a lot of the literature we read is hard to analyze. Also, some of the literature we read were poems and for me connecting a poem to the story of Oscar Wao felt more difficult then connecting it to another story, even though I did go through many paragraph trials with this. I feel okay about my Essay, I did spend ALOT of time making connections then deleting them because I felt like I could find a stronger connection. I do think my essay does follow the prompt because each step of the way I had the prompt to make sure I was on topic. I feel good about this class. I have genuinely gotten better at analyzing lit...
