Maxine-AN

1. I chose my topic by reading through all of the choices we were given, picked the one I am most passionate about and read it so that I could see what it was about. Then compared the information to our choice of topics to see which one fit the most.

2. The information that I got from our group is how to structure and include the quotes into the paper and be able to elaborate on it easier and so that it flows and had good organization.

3. The final draft of my paper is different than my first because I was able to make small corrections and add another poem that was in relation to my current topic in slavery and the mistreatment of African Americans.

4. What I most liked about my paper was the ability to compare our history to a poem and my personal understanding and knowledge of the past. I was able to make comparisons and connect literature to past events that may or may not have happened at that exact time.
