Jayla Tunstall's Authors Notes

I chose this topic based off the story I chose to base my paper on, “To Da-duh”. At first I was going to write about self identity but as I was reading the story, the theme of family ties and bridging generational gaps was more apparent. This made it easier for me to analyze the story and write the paper. The feedback I got from the workshop was good as was the written feedback on my draft. The final draft doesn’t differ much from my first draft. The biggest changes I made were adding quotes. For the most part I just read through it and cleaned it up and made the changes that Professor Schettler noted on my draft. What I liked most about my paper was just analyzing the story. Throughout the story you can see how the relationship between these two people, who have never met each other and have spent a short amount of time together, evolves and grows. I enjoyed writing about that relationship.
