What I've learned thus far in english 1A

                                                                Reflection

The most effort to understanding something new definitely went to establishing my understanding of the MLA style. Learning it seemed like a major pain, and I thought: “I just want to write and not worry about how it looks”. The MLA style is actually very useful. It gives the reader of your work the sources of your research, which will verify the validity of your work. MLA style will keep your work organized and understandable.

    T.E.A or Topic. Example. Analysis, is a great way or perhaps the best way to organize a paragraph. Your topic sentence introduces the example. Or even allows the reader to assume what is to come. With your Example, or explanation you can quote a piece, paraphrase, or use general knowledge. This must cohabitate with the topic

            I have learned to critically think, and analyze written works. This is useful for a research report, as well as understanding what the writer is trying to convey.

     We think our childhood/ teenage years are tough, In “Persepolis” we dove into the world of a girl (Marjane Satrapi) growing up during the Islamic revolution. We in America are incredible shocked when there is a mass homicide, or great violent act. For an Iranian these kind of things are the norm and not very surprising

          On the topic of Iran, I have learned substantial information vital to understanding what is going on in the world currently. Specifically Iran’s dealings with other countries. I focused on the women of Iran, how they are seen from the American perspective, and how they see us. So, I found that Iranians do not take lightly to strangers or all together have a complete lack of trust of anyone who is out of the close family. Iran has had many militaristic encounters with the U.S. We have been at war with them and at later times we have traded rights of oil for weapons. This makes no sense if our government were out for the good and safety of it’s people. Clearly they are not. I have learned much about Iran as well as our own country in the process, it has been interesting.

 slow and steady, that's how I roll...
