The First Academic Essay is the shortest essay we have written in this class, and it uses the theory source of Caleb Smith's "Introduction: The Poetics of Punishment" and the exhibit source of Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption. In this essay, I made the argument that Andy Dufresne represents the convict in the modern imagination. As I mentioned in the introduction, I pushed this off until the last minute to understand the sources and put it all together. The first post below is an artifact of my original essay outline that I made prior to my first draft. Next, I have my first draft which follows the outline closely. In my final draft, you can see improvements in the paper's introduction, conclusion, and overall composition.

I rigidly followed this outline and boxed my thoughts in. At the top, I have a list of quotes and below that, I have the structure of each paragraph.

The first essay draft is a bit of a mess that was ultimately cleaned up prior to the final draft.

The final draft for the first essay shows much more clarity and conciseness than the rough draft and comes together for a complete work of writing.

The second academic essay covered the idea of power and used three sources, thus making it an "Advanced Academic Essay." In the essay, I covered Foucault's theory of surveillance, Foucault's theory of truth, and the Black Mirror episode "White Bear." The first item in this section is an artifact of a free write I did in class covering the live reactions of watching this episode. Learning from my mistakes in the first essay, I gave myself more time while writing the essay and there is a noticeable improvement from the first to the final draft, such as a reanalyzed source and a reorganized introduction.

This free write asked us to write about our reactions to watching the Black Mirror episode "White Bear," which set the stage for its use in my essay.

The first draft had many great ideas that came along with more time. However, the structure was convoluted, and the sources needed to be ironed out more.

The final essay fixes the structure of the essay, adds a more nuanced claim on torture, and a change away from passive tense.

The third essay is an autoethnographic essay that relates one's own experiences with a concept discussed in class. The first piece of this section is a concept map that I did in preparation for this essay. I was clueless on what topic to cover, and this helped me land on Christianity and the prison. This paper showed the largest evolution from step 1 to the final step. The paper's thesis and theme even changed multiple times. The second piece of this section is my first draft of the essay. Following this, I placed an artifact of the slideshow used in my oral presentation that described my essay. Finally, I finish with the final draft of the essay where the journey comes to a close. Overall, my first experience with the genre of autoethnography was a "learn as you go" experience and I believe that learning curve is exemplified here.

The concept map was made in preparation for this essay. All ideas branch from me, while the blue lines represent connections across separate ideas.

The first draft of essay 3. This essay shows the early stages of my creative process in which there is a lot of ideas with little connection or flow.

The slideshow for an oral presentation for the third essay explains why I chose the topic and how I am forming my argument.

The Final Essay closes in on one solid idea, switches the source from panopticon to truth, and goes more in-depth.
