Labor journal 10

1. My essay is decent so far. I still need to figure some body paragraphs out and use the quotes in a decent manner. I worked on the intro but I think it may be to long and vague so I should shorten it a bit. I have some body paragraphs but I still need to flesh them out a bit more.

2. I think the renegotiation went very well. Many points were given and they were all valid. I think that the contract is in a good state.

3. I think that this class is good, we learn a lot not just about English but about ourselves and society. I think that the way of writing in this class has been very freeing and liberating compared to previous English courses.

Email: Thank you for the response. I feel that the feedback is accurate. I have now realized that I completely forgot the works cited page as well as a 4th source and this was a mishap on my side. I plan to add the 4th source and a works cited page before I post it on my portfolio. I think that the book club this semester is very good. I enjoy my book. The only complaints I would have is that it seemed a little bit rushed for some reason but it might just be because we are doing it during the latter half of the semester rather than the first half. Questions I have for essay 3 is how long it would be, whether or not it should be longer or shorter than our previous essays and it seems like we have much less time to work on it. But I am ok with that. I am interested to know what the prompt for the essay is and how we will write it.

How does your author's personal life relate to larger social issues?  Is that an essential part of a powerful narrative?  Why or why not?

The ideas that Trevor Noah puts forth are all very relevant to our social issues today. Many people have a problem finding their own identity and understanding who they are and it is exemplified in the book when Trevor describes his childhood and his life and how his race has affected who he is. I believe that the ideas that stem from his personal life and connect to larger social issues are all very essential to the narrative and move the story forward with good development and pacing.
