SSN

Since I have not done a SuperSmartNote on my book, Clicked, I wanted to sum readers up with the premise and how the book was written. It was written by over 10 writers! For one novel! I would never write a book with that amount of people because there would be too many ideas and only one book. So what they did was essentially, create a basic story outline for the book and each author wrote one chapter, maybe more. It is interesting because  in taking note, you can't really say, "the author does that a lot, its in his style of voice." It's all one book but with many different authors so may the style may seem similar, they are not.

My smartnote this week was assigned as a Non-Fiction. I am going to focus on my poet for the poet study, Eminem. I analysed this song written by him called Hailie's song.. 

Sometimes it feels like the worlds on my shoulders

Everyone’s leanin’ on me

Cuz sometimes it feels like the world is almost over

But then she comes back to me

My Baby girl keeps getting older

I watch her grow up with pride

People make jokes, cuz they don’t understand me

They just don’t see my real side

I act like things don’t phase me,

Inside it drives me crazy

My Insecurities could eat me alive

But then I see my baby

Suddenly I’m not crazy

It all makes sense when I look into her eyes

That is the chorus for Hailie's song. You can see the full lyrics if you search it online. This reveals a lot about Eminem. He is saying that even in the hardset situations, his daughter can make it seem better. I don't want to reveal everything because I am presenting this week. But I will break down a part of the song."People make jokes [becasue] they don't understand me". He is also saying that people make fun of him for being close with his daughter like this. Most rappers don't have a soft spot in their heart. Eminem is just a rapper that expresses his feelings through song.

Research Relfection

My research was on War Dogs impact and effect on wars. My reflection is going to be on my research process and how it improved if I had not done this paper. I learned how to apply different research to one thesis and try my best to relate all of my sources to my thesis. This week it was our assignment to do a reflection on our research paper. I plan to also reflect on my research paper as soon as a reflection is assigned and I have the paper back in my possession with Ms. Capelli's comments. For now I can only say what I think I have really improved on since I started the paper.
