If i had to compare Project 1 with Project 2, I’d pick project 1 because i found it to be more enjoyable. In project 1 we had to retell a story of our choosing. I didn’t like this project to much because i wasn’t a fan of the book. I had a difficult time reading it, and i wasn’t thrill on how Toni Morrison ended it. This project was also a bit challenging. Project 1 was challenging as well, but project 2 was just a bit harder because we had to go into the book and flip through the pages to find the actual quote to back up our argument.
What i enjoyed the most about this project was the fact that i was trying something new. I’ve never done the 5 Step Method before. Instead of just jumping into the quote, i used the method and let the reader know that a quote from the book was coming up. Also what i liked about this project was part 2. I put up a picture of a Tobacco Tin Box because Paul D “hid his feelings in a tobacco tin box”. Although i considered the project to be a bit challenging, doing my project on Paul d wasn’t that bad. I say that because Paul D is a very important character to this novel. I argued that Paul D’s arrival was a pivotal point in this novel because he’s the reason Beloved even showed up in the first place. I say that because he ran off the ghost that was in the house. But overall from this project i’m happy i learned the 5 Step method.
I wouldn’t change a thing with this project if i had a choice, but had i been given the opportunity to choose another book, i would’ve taken that chance. As i said before, i wasn’t to thrill with this book. Although i didn’t like the book, i still think Toni Morrison is one hell of a writer. I think reading the book again would help me notice things i didn’t the first time reading it. Well to sum this up, although this project was a pain, i’m glad i got through it, especially since i had other papers to write so i was a bit overwhelmed and might not have put enough effort into this project as much as i liked to.
