Jaidyn's Reflection on Literary Analysis 1

When we first started the pre-writing activities, I realized that I was being tricked into doing something that I usually leave to the last minute or don’t do at all, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. But I can definitely see the value in it.  Thinking of ideas is easily the most difficult part of writing. Once I have ideas and substance, tying it all together is a very doable task. And I actually love that we started with general literary sources. I usually hate research because scholarly stuff can feel dense and intimidating, so it was nice to have a different starting point, and I feel like I’ll apply these techniques to future writing projects in other classes.
