The process of writing this paper really called for me to place myself in the story. This gave me a different perspective in views and how they may have felt in that time. I chose my topic because in “To Da-Duh” the theme of family and generational differences literally was dripping of the pages. Once we began the gallery walk and we all had similar topic questions and response I knew that using this topic would be better suitable for me. I received a lot of useful information from the other students in class about what key points that could be used as examples and also allowed me to visually see the writing process. Also, working with my workshop group allowed me to see that I could be a bit more tentative to details and elaborate more on my ideas in the writing process. They caught things in my essay that I overlooked. With the peer group discussions, it really helped me to revise my essay. I continued expressing some of my ideas and added more support from the story. What I enjoyed the most about this paper is that allowed for me to critically analysis and make connections between two different times and see how they both were intertwined.
