“You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” ― Octavia E. Butler
My previous experiences with research writing communities, they aren’t many. In my English 050 class I actually did I research paper for my major Early Childhood Education, which I actually enjoyed. It really opened my eyes when it comes to my major and future job I never realized how much I’d make or how many jobs there is. When I did this I actually felt in control I enjoyed it because it was my thing I wasn’t wrong as long as I followed the format and the articles there really wasn’t a wrong or right answer for this assignment. I liked it a lot more than anything else I’ve really written because it will help me in the long run with my future job and what I do after college. Another research paper I wrote, once in high school I wrote a research project about Amelia Earhart and I felt kind of like I had to write it a certain way but I also took my own spin on things. It was hard because I had to make everything correct and different websites say different things and finding credible websites can also be hard to find because a lot of them have fake information. My identity is defined by the works I’ve done and what I’ve researched and how it affected me. I think all of my research has affected me positively because now I know a lot more about the subjects and it’s most definitely going to influence me in the better. So my identity in this particular subject is kind of struggling because I don’t have to much experience in this. This research project is all about the media and how it objectifies women. This is a MLA genre paper. In this I will be discussing the themes inMiss Representation and Plato's Cave. And my research question is, How does the themes in Plato's Cave and Miss Representation still relate to the media today?
