Papers

Out of the papers I wish to put in my portfolio, I believe that my superstar narrative was the best example of my work. It was a topic i enjoyed writing on, and was a paper mainly about our commentary. With that being said, it was easier to write about a topic which I liked, and one that was mainly about me. However even though I felt it was my best work, it was actually one of my lowest scoring papers. So in a way it needs the most work as well. Maybe I am not good paralleling a hurdler's life to my own life being that I am a hurdler. Maybe I am better at writing research papers, reports inscribed into essays. I lacked the "my story" in the paper. So making a better connection between Edwin Moses and I will help my superstar narrative become better.

Primary Source

My primary source for the research project is the movie The Karate Kid. I choose this source because I believe it teaches valuable lessons of patience, perseverance, and above all respect. My audience is primarily the youth of our generation, but also is focused at parents, the people who have the influence over these young minds. I hope that my audience will get a better sense of how important of a role the three aspects above help in developing a succeeding youth in today's harsh world.
