Today in class, we talked about our papers some, looked over Liz’s paper and separated into groups. I thought that Liz’s paper was really quite good to just be a draft. We also discussed “A Rose for Emily” to not only grasp a deeper insight for all of us, but to add a more faceted format to Liz’s efforts. Of course, there was room for improvement but since her paper was only in stage 1, that was only to be expected. We also took a look at some examples of previous papers of the same sort. One of the examples Ms. Frailly handed out happened to be on “The Yellow Wallpaper”, which is what I am writing my paper on. So it was really beneficial for me to see a final product of what my paper should be in perspective to.
When we separated into groups, Tyler, Cameron and I ‘formed’ a group. We discussed some of the short stories that we have read so far, the extremity of their weirdness of boredom, and gave our thoughts on the story that each person was writing their essay on. We also filled out reader responses, those are always helpful to me. I always like to have another persons perspective and thoughts on the paper that I am writing, and just about anything else I do. I am a big fan of constructive criticism. Overall, I think that we made a great use of our time today in class. We focused on helping Liz and each other get on the right part in this hard journey of the literary essay. As far as I am concerned, the hardest part for me when writing this essay is getting focused and staying focused. Once I have my mind set and have eliminated nearly all of my distractions, I am good to go (for the most part).
