1. How as your writing process for project 2 different from project 1?
The writing process for project two was a lot more research based than project one. With project one, I didn't have to have so many sources and I could draw from previous knowledge in my head. However, with project two, I was dealing with more facts so I needed to be accurate in what I said. It was less opinion based and more academic research based. The writing was more factual than "feelings" based and took more time to accomplish since project two dealt with so many more sources than project one.
2. Which drafting stage was more efficient?
Going from the first draft to the final draft stage was more efficient. It was much easier to finish the essay and form all of my ideas together when I already had some or most of my ideas written out. It is more difficult to start with nothing and form that first draft since the kinks and ideas haven't been worked out yet. Finishing the paper from the preexisting draft gave me the chance to work everything out and finalize my ideas in an intelligent way.
3. Which project did you enjoy the most and why?
I enjoyed project one the most, simply because of the subject material. I am greatly interested in the topic of project two and it's a topic close to my heart, but since it is such a sensitive subject it's not as entertaining and can be heavy to research. My topic of the differences in The Godfather novel and films was much more fun and entertaining to read about than sexism in the film industry.

yeah I agree that the subject material we got to write about for project 2 was a lot more enjoyable since we should choose our own topic.
ReplyDeleteReally awesome that you wrote about The Godfather. I probably would have enjoyed project 1 a lot if I thought to do that.
