Context Paper.

1. How do you feel this paper turned out?

I didn't really like how I did on this paper. I think there is more out there, but I had little direction on social conditions surrounding this, because I think my artifact touches so many social conditions that it is hard to focus on any (or several) specific issues because it barely touches the surface.


2. Did you accomplish what you set out to do in the description of the context?

I thought I could do more, but with my research I could not find much more.


3. Do you feel like there is something that you should have included or described in more detail?

I feel I needed to address the social conditions better, but I just couldn't find anything on it.

4. What are the three biggest strengths of this essay? 1) I have a lot of reviews 2) I have a lot of sources that vary in opinions 3) I like that I have the reason of the creation from the creator.

5. What do you think are two of its weaknesses? 1) not enough information, 2) lack of specific perspective, 3) probably bad grammar.

6. What would you like your reviewers to focus on?

How I should go about addressing the social conditions.

Artifact Paper

1) How do you feel this paper turned out?
I liked it actually. I thought it turned out better than I was expecting it to be.

2) Did you accomplish what you set out to do in the description?
I did accomplish what I set to do in the description. My goal was to complete it and have someone understand the premise of the show. I had my boyfriend read it, and he said he understood the premise of the show from it, which to me means that I must have at least described it decently.

3) Do you feel like there is something that you should have described in more detail?
I think the themes could be worked out better. I was a little confused on this part on what an actual theme actually was.

4) What are the three biggest strengths of this essay?
1) The character descriptions in general
2) The amount of themes I came up with
3) The variety of themes I came up with

5) What do you think are two of its weaknesses?
1) The fact that all the themes do not involve all the characters
2) That my themes go from a normal theme to a "versus" theme, which some can see as confusing.

6) What would you like your reviewers to focus on?
Probably if they understand the premise of the show from the paper. How could I describe it better? What would you like to know more about it, that might help you make more sense of the show??
