Life: The Book!

1. What are you most proud of in your Life: The Book writing? Try to describe this is detail!
In life the book I am most proud of how I was able to incorporate specific humanities content such as governmental; Roe vs. Wade + abortion. I'm also very proud that I was able to produce a high quality piece of Literary Journalism because I immediately came up with my idea from the get go when we recieved a projet description. And based on that I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to produce a piece of writing wiht actual content, but in the end I did.

2. What are some changes or new ideas that you have developed in your writing through the course of this semester?
Adding things like real historical events can amp up your paper, make it more interesting for the reader. In I think every piece of writing I've done this year has some sort of historical content. For example in the American Icons artist statement I was able to incorporate the names of Civil Rights Activists, dates, and things that were enacted in result of the civil rights movement.

3. If you had a little more time to work on your writing for Life: The Book, what would you do differently? What would you change about your writing?
If I did anything differently about life the book I would figure out how to incorporate more biology into the ending of the paper. I think most of it was concentrated in the first two pages.

4. How has the additional element of publication in a book affected the way you approach writing?

The fact that we were publishing it just makes me more active in my critiquing of my own writing so I can catch my mistakes or mispelled words or imporper grammar. Because I wouldn't want anything published with my name on it if it had mistakes, it just makes it seem sloppy.
