When choosing my topic for this paper, my first essay, I chose a quote that was often said yet stuck with me throughout the short story. Whenever Da-duh said “I know you don’t have anything this nice where you come from” to her granddaughter, I caught myself voicing it with her. This quote made my essay come to life. New information I received from the gallery walk was the in-depth questions about the theme I wanted to incorporate into my essay, nature/land formation. It was a great suggestion for me to describe Barbados and New York. From my first draft to my second, there were very few corrections I had to adjust. What I liked most about writing this paper is researching the nature and land of Barbados and New York. With Barbados being a naturally beautiful place in the tropics and New York being known for the largest and one of the most urban environments in the world, I became more knowledgeable about the different parts of the world without taking a history class.
