3. A celebration for me with this project is that I get to write about a society that is really similar to one of the most fascinating time periods (well at least in my opinion) which is ancient Rome.

1. Something I learned that I did not know before was that even though colonizing Nigeria did result in a loss of culture, it opened new jobs for people to engage in to help ends meet. It also allowed for new opportunities to branch out into different fields of works such as a trader, artisan, or craftsman.

2. One frustration I had was making sure that my essay was in accordance with my thesis statement. This was hard because I  always had to keep double checking it and re reading it frequently.

3. A celebration I experienced was being able to write about Nigeria. I feel as though I don't get to write about things and places that are near and dear to me so this was something I truly enjoyed.

A new understanding from me stems from the essential question; what voice shall i be seen as having? I learned who to use emotion better in the tone of my writing to try and convey a stronger message to my audiance

A frustration is the amount of time given to work on it. Between taking a week to find the book and to be able to get it, to then AP testing interupting my time, to work and physics, and life's struggles and mysteries, it was hard to find the time i needed to fully work on it

A celebration is creating an essay that is unique with a different style than the standard format and trying to be different in the way i apply my logic with the idea of quotes to the structuring of paragraphs to the personal aspects of it

1. New understanding: I learned some new important details of the Vietnam War. Another interesting thing I learned would be King’s different take on why evil people act evil/

2. Frustration: One part that frustrated me is  finding sources that accurately targeted my thesis. Most sources only focused on how a totalitarian government controls their people through fear, rather than the point King focused on.

3. Celebration: A success that I experienced would be when I was able to draw two different ideas, from two parts of the paper, together in one part. I felt that I was able to successfully connect different aspect of the historical context into the text accordingly.

1) While writing this research paper, I learned that there is a connection between different businesses. Each one clearly affects the other even if they are not related in any way. There is always some source to use to connect your points together by using outside contexts.
2) What I found frustrating was the sources. The problem with my sources was that they were more or less campaigns about a type of action to take about a current environmental issue. It did not have much information about older experiences, like carnivals.
3) A success for me was the correct use of transitions and a smoother thesis statement. I also was able to adapt the quotes from the novel more fluently.

3.) A success for me was being able to complete this paper before the final due date in order to receive peer editing.

1) During this research project I learned that there is always a deeper historical context to a novel than is initially apparent. At first, I believed that Rowling wrote her books to entertain her audience. However, when you look at a book in the context of the real world events that happened prior to its publication, the novel often reflects morals that fit in with these events.

2) I found it frustrating to find outside sources that supported my thesis. There is not many sources that combine elements of a children's adventure novel with pieces of historical evidence, so this was difficult.

3) A success for me was completing the rough draft before the deadline. This enabled me to get valuable edits from my peers and teacher.
