For the final project, I attempted to combine my first and fourth projects in order to elaborate upon the ideas presented primarily in the fourth. I used the first project as a back up to my argument from the fourth. I chose to revise the fourth project because I found it to be a very interesting idea to think about, namely the gray area between literature and art. By incorporating the first project, I was able to discuss another counter-argument and to also bring in the idea of reading and the role that it plays in defining these two concepts. These two projects seemed to go well together because the ideas they explored touched upon similar topics. These were also my two favorite projects from the semester.
In this final project, I worked on further developing my counter-arguments, as well as further defining what literature is. I also paid special attention to the organization of the piece and developing the introduction, which is something that I am feeling much better about now. In coming semesters, I would like to continue to play with incorporating various writing styles into the way I write. The activity in which we rewrote our introductions in a different style was incredibly helpful, and I will likely try to use that in the future to explore different ways of expressing my ideas. Additionally, I would like to work on my introductions and conclusions, as they are extremely important in any piece of writing.
