Research Critical Analysis Reflection

 

I struggled with my Research Critical Analysis essay because I did not know how to word what I was trying to say correctly. I knew what I wanted to say, but wording it was a struggle because I chose a topic that, if worded incorrectly, could give a whole different point than what I am actually trying to say, if that makes sense. I also struggled with procrastination again. However, I overcame my procrastination faster than my last essay because I realized the root of why I was actually procrastinating in the first place. I realized that I felt overwhelmed with the amount of school work I had besides this essay, and even though we had a week to fix it or rewrite it after the first draft, just the thought of having to do it overwhelmed me. I figured if I take it slowly while having occasional breaks, it will help, and it did, although sometimes the procrastination took the best of me, and I went back to square one again. The progress is what counts. I managed to get some satisfaction from how I worded my points in the essay, but I’m not 100% satisfied.  The audience for my RCA could be someone that’s my age,  younger, or older than me who has questioned the ideas and roles in Little Red Riding Hood. My RCA could also be for those who wanted to dig deeper into why there was a  pattern of sexuality being expressed in different versions of the fairy tale. With this RCA, there were many course learning outcomes. I learned how to synthesize and reevaluate possible ways to demonstrate my points and sources in the best way possible.  I enjoyed my time with my peer review partner for this essay, she was accommodating, and although we chose different fairy tales, we both were able to learn new things and better both of our essays accurately. This assignment made me work extremely hard, as always but also made me experiment with some new things that would help me write it to the best of my ability. This essay was like a spiritual awakening but to literature. It helped me grow in ways that I did not was possible.
