Discussion Post:

I read Kate Zamos discussion post. Both Kate and I talked about the main point of the article being cultural identity. The main character is struggling to figure out how to blend all her cultures into one due to the fact she is multicultural.  We also both talked about the isolation and feelings of loneliness that come with this identity struggle.  Next Kate talked about her own struggles with fitting in with her family which was very interesting and nice to hear a real life example. I should of put a real life experience into my discussion too.

Essay #2:

When looking into the comments on my essay I figured out that I supported the argument more than analyzing it. This is something I will work on through my future essays. Another key thing I need to work on is APA formatting. I have been conditioned to always write in MLA so I am very used to that. I recently just learned APA and need to review it and practice more with it so my essays are better formatted. Overall though I am proud of my essay for its context and just need to focus on formatting more.
