Research Update

My research project has been surprisingly difficult for me. I typically have a pretty easy time writing papers but I have never written a research paper. I have a generally broad topic so finding sources is not a challenge. I found my sources pretty quickly but after that I ran into an issue. The challenge for me is finding sources with a lot of useful information and thinking of categories to divide my paper into.

I came up with five different categories to divide my paper into but I do not feel completely confident in my choices. Once school resumes, I plan on going to my teachers for help in this area. Once I feel confident in my categories, I will begin the notecards. I have started a few notecards as part of my emergency closure assignment but am prepared to make changes.

LOTF Response

Ralph chose the firm strip as a path because he needed to think, and only here could he allow his feet to move without having to watch them.  Suddenly, pacing by the water, he was overcome with astonishment.  He found himself understanding the weariness of this life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.  He stopped, facing the strip, and remembering that first enthusiastic exploration as though it were part of a brighter childhood, he smiled jeeringly. [...] This wind pressed his grey shirt against his chest so that he noticed--in this new mood of comprehension--how the folds were stiff like cardboard, and unpleasant; noticed too how the frayed edges of his shorts were making an uncomfortable, pink area on the front of his thighs.  With a convulsion of the mind, Ralph discovered dirt and decay, understood how much he disliked perpetually flicking the tangled hair out of his eyes, and at las...

How has traveling affected you?

Traveling is something that almost everyone experiences. Wether traveling to another city, state, or even continent, you can experience or learn something new from it. I have been lucky enough to travel pretty often with my family or even alone. My family loves to travel and could do it all the time if possible. Unfortunately, my sister and I typically have a lot of commitments to sports, etc. that prevent us from traveling too often. However, we almost always travel over breaks such as Mardi Gras break, Christmas break, and Thanksgiving break. Up until last year, I had always traveled with my family or friends and had only been around the states. This changed last summer when I decided to travel to Maui, Hawaii alone! Now you're probably thinking how did I travel alone, and I wasn't completely alone. I traveled to Hawaii for a camp with boys and girls around my age from around the world. Going into this I was extremely excited to get to experience a new state I had dreamed a...

My Blog

Hey! I'm Landry and this is my blog. Through writing this blog, I hope to gain more strength in my writing and the ability to write faster. I think can achieve this based on how much time I focus on my blog and how many entires I write. I hope to be able to write the required amount and for that to be easy for me. I appreciate being able to write these blogs. I like writing these blogs much better than having more big essays. These blogs essentially replace two or so large papers. For me, it is much easier to write these short blog posts about different topics than writing large essays about one. Finally, I like how I have access to other classmates' blogs to see what they have written about and even give them compliments on their writing.
