The reading and the writing assignments are helpful for me. They allow me to analyze the text in different aspects. They also allow me to reflect on my own way of living and relate many pressing and significant topics to the literary works. My favorite readings so far are The Luck of Roaring Camp, an excerpt from Sun Sui Far's Mrs. Spring Fragrance, and The Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit. I also like the Four Poems from Angel Island and Chinatown, and Coyote Cooks his Daughter.
The reading notes that I have are usually direct quotes from the text. Initially, I would just put them in quotations, now I include in-text citation pages so that I could select which quote can support my argument as evidence, and copy + paste them instead of typing the longevity of the quote. Recently, I started adding some other factors that can help me with my analysis, like keynotes that say 'research about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo'.
I guess my biggest accomplishment is that I am still here despite being busy and having to deal with some troubles in life. Also, being able to write the first project is also a huge accomplishment.
Right now, I would like to start the week early. I usually start late because I have work and some other assignments to manage, so I tend to put this class last. It's not a promise, but I would try.
