The Plan

For my senior capstone, my plan is to write a short blog entry about each piece we read in ENG 445. For the blog stage of this project, I simply want to make note of the most prominent impressions I get initially from each piece before talking about them in class--just my unbiased thoughts based on reading the piece in a very stream-of-consciousness fashion. I may also note things the texts make me think of or remind me of, include pictures, or compare them to other things I've read in the past; but mostly, I will point to excerpts or quotes from the texts that particularly strike me. At the end of this process, I am going to review all of the aspects I've noticed about the works as a whole and look for any patterns that may arise or a commonality between most of my thoughts regarding them. I am hoping to reach a personal conclusion regarding the class theme of "After Dark" and expand on it in a final paper, tying all the works we have covered in class together. I will title each blog entry with the title and author name for simplicity's sake.
