In the first part of the project, I am most proud of putting my work together and explaining why certain things may have happened in the novel due to Beloved’s return and behavior. However, I felt that I was stuck many times while working on this project. At first I couldn’t figure out what scenes had a large impact in the book. After figuring out which scene I wanted to use, the most challenging part was expressing myself by interpreting and analyzing the quote in order for others to understand.
In the second part of the project, I was proud that I was able to connect my major by making an html file to show my creativity. I was able to make a connection between my literature and computer programming class. However, this was a challenging part for me too because I struggled when it came to figuring how to relate the two. The most struggling part of it all was trying to make my slideshow work on open lab. Due to this, I was unable to play or use my slideshow for the project. I also felt that my idea on creating an image was not clever or inventive. Unfortunately, I had to create a new image which was a collage of things that I thought described the novel Beloved.
The new skills I have or tools I acquired through this project is breaking down a quote into steps to explain it. I have not mastered this technique yet but I am striving to become better at it. I also learned that there is always a way to relate one area of study to another area, for example using my major to create an idea for my project. If I was able to change any part of my project it would be my collage, I felt that if I had more time, I would have a better inspiring photo and maybe figured out how to use a slideshow in WordPress.
One thing I have learned in programming is that there’s always a way do something because there is always a loophole. If I could change any part of Project #2 assignment, it would be part 2 because I have struggled the most in that part where I had the most difficulties. I would probably want to write a continuation to what I think what could’ve happened in the novel or answering the unanswered questions that were left in the book. I noticed for myself that when I write, I become a better writer and when I stop writing, I start to slack off because writing is my Achilles heel. I sometimes struggle about what I want to say and become unable to properly express my feelings.
