Multi-Genre Reflection

It seems like you can do anything with these projects. They can be serious or just entertaining. Out of all the one I read through I think Happy Ever After in the Media and Living Thin: One Girls Fight for a FULL Life were the most interesting. Happy Ever After in the Media talked about how fairy tales and Disney set up young girls to have unrealistic expectations. In my opinion I think it is unrealistic to think that when a girl got older that she wouldn't realize that these stories are not what you should expect from life, but it was an interesting topic and well put together. I liked the quiz component in the project to find out what princess you are, it was a little silly but it made it more than just a paper.

Living Thin: One Girls Fight for a FULL Life was about a girl and her experience dealing with an eating disorder. I liked this project because it had a very deep personal connection. It takes a lot to be able to admit you had or have a problem like bulimia, and it isn't really a topic people want to talk about. The written components were done very well and I think that is partly due to how it connects to the writer. I still have no idea what I’m interested in doing but I want to find a topic I enjoy learning about. I think this could be a very good learning experience for me because I can choose to research anything that matters to me. I don’t want to do anything super serious, but looking at these projects gave me a lot better idea of what I will need to be able to do with my topic.
