A research essay is always hard thing for me to write. I have a hard time keeping myself from throwing my opinion into my essay. Sometimes, I am outspoken and so it's hard not to have an opinion on something. I don't like research essays, but I know I will always have to write them for school.
Next time I write a research essay, I'll try to pick a topic that isn't so hard to research. I got a lot of websites that werelike tabloids and opinionated blogs and I even got one website that I figured out was completley false. It was a website that was just a mock website of all kinds of things. I realized this after I read the whole article...
I thought it was cool when we read eachothers proposals. I liked being able to put my input in on everones paper even though not as many people commented on mine as I commented on theirs. That was frustrating. I tool two whole class periods to comment on everyones blog and I only got about six comments on mine.
I don't really know if I learned anything from pop culture from this essay. There were things that surprsed me even though they shouldnt have. Such as the VD clause I talked about in my paper. It makes since but it isnt something people really think about. I learned that shows that we think of as harmless, really arent. They affect us all in some way or another. Some of us surround our lives with celebrities and pop culture and we shouldnt. There are more important things in the world and I dont think we always realize that. I think our generation is in for a big reality check one day and I hope it comes soon.
