Project 1 Reflection

At first I did not go in to the depth that was desired. Through the workshop I have gained the depth that I was desired. I was analyzing the Basement of the MU, which to my knowledge most of the students were analyzing as well. The workshop helped make my thesis stronger and go more in depth in the body of the paper. I was just stating the purpose of the things and the furniture. Going in to the depth was a problem for me at first. Where I also struggled was with finding a lens. I had not understood what one was in the grammar and English sense. What I felt that I had done well in was refining my paper and format. I have learned learned what a lens is and how to analyze. At first I had thought an analysis was an opinionated summary. With that idea in mind I had just listed everything and think that to analyze one just has to state the purpose. Know I know how to analyze and apply it and go into more depth than what was asked. I know know how to improve on using quotations to further my argument. I just generalized what the quote said like paraphrasing that did not help my argument much.  How I might process this work out side is if I would be a journalism major. I would also use this information for understanding why theses events are established.

My idea was that the MU basement just was for social and economic reasons, that was not a valid argument. I then went in depth saying that the Basement imposes sociably through community. I had used the ideas of Vanclay and applied it to the event of MU after Dark, people are celebrating their connection to ASU.

Basically it took me some time to understand the question. Then It took me time to form a strong argument to form as well. I felt that it took some help to form a strong argument and to also make a thesis. I felt from that help I was able go ion to the depth that was asked. I have learned now to analyze and to form a lens. I can apply this to writing an article about it for journalism. I did not know how to really analyze so now I do .I have now learned what to expect.
