Research Papers…

At the beginning of this course, we were asked what our experience was with writing and how well be adapted to assignments that are assigned. My response, if I could remember correctly was that I was very difficult for me to think and develop what I want to physically write. With this research paper, the felling is the same. I took me a very long time to decide which one of the prompts I wanted to do. I choose to go with The Great Gastby because I remembering reading it in high school, and from I can recall I didn’t hate the book. As I finished the book, the prompt kept ringing in my head. I kept thinking how was I going to relate this book to Reading Lolita. I became very overwhelmed with the prompt alone. I began researching topics using Google Scholar, yet one of my biggest frustrations is that many of the pages that I open up are very limited with information, as it requires to actually pay for a book in order to have access to it. Very frustrating. At times, some of the information sounds very interesting, yet the ticket price for a book is about thirty dollars. I unfortunately do not have that type of money to be spending with two kids. Therefore I thought about taking my research to the library. Yet I realize that there aren’t enough hours in the day for me to physically do that. In between shuttling my kids around, from basketball practice, girl scouts, track and art class, there is not time for me to stop and visit the library. Weekends are out of the question. I have thus continued my search through the internet, but I do realized I will have to make time to stop by and spend ample time in the library. One of my other frustrations is that I keep forgetting to write down the URL for all the sites that I am visiting. I becomes very frustrating as I then have to revisit everything again just to find the site I was previously in. Overall, I has been a bit frustrating, yet I keep reminding my self that I can do it. I haven’t failed yet.
