I feel like completing this project was an okay task for me. For this type of research, it was difficult trying to find a quote that stayed with me from the sources. For this type of research, I also found it difficult trying to find a peer-reviewed source. Although it was difficult finding the peer-reviewed source it was useful to learn how to utilize new tools like the school’s library, which I see myself using in the future. Another aspect I’m going to take away is the aspect of writing down and brainstorming as many topics as I can think of for any type of project. This type of brainstorming proved to be a useful method to not pinpoint what topics I would want to use, but to group them up into different categories. Another aspect I would take away from this project is how I cited the source in MLA format because in the future it seems I would be needing that knowledge.
