Informal or Multimedia Source - I used both fanart and a YouTube Video for this paper. I think the Fanart was really important for this paper because it has so much to do with a contemporary show and ideas. The YouTube video connects a contemporary story with a historical event perfectly. I really enjoyed how we were able to use informal stories. They are important today and they do offer fabulous insights to scholarly literature. I also learned how to implement informal sources in a scholarly way. It is harder to find out who did it or why, but you are able to get many ideas from hundreds of comments and what not.
Literary Theory - I used the personal history from the two authors and archetypes to write my paper. I toyed with a few of the other theories, but these two seemed to have the best connections between the two pieces and the most supportive of my thesis. To understand both pieces it is important to understand both the histories of the authors. I also enjoyed talking about the archetypes because they are follow and contradict common archetypes.
Writing Process - I really enjoyed writing this paper! It also led me to watching some of GOT again. I had so many ideas, but it was hard to nail down my thesis. Once I had that, everything came so easily. I talked with my brother about the paper a lot and he had lots of ideas for me and we bounced ideas off one another. I always enjoy talking to people about my papers. Looking up the histories of two well known authors was also interesting. I was able to understand more about Robert Frost's other poems also.
