Communication & Popular Culture - Deconstruction
This assignment explains (through text-box commentary) how and why I made rhetorical choices in my paper about Hamilton: An American Musical. The original paper examines Hamilton through the lenses of representation, performance, and intersectionality. It includes song lyrics, popular sources, scholarly sources, and a focus on Communication Studies Theory. The original paper was written in the Fall of 2018 and the comments were added in the Spring of 2019.
"How do you write like you're running out of time? Write day and night like you're running out of time?"

Lit of Utopia/Dystopia - Reflection
This Reflection assignment explores my writing process in depth by looking inward, outward, forward, and back. I chose to analyze the process of writing a paper about Ernest Cline's Ready Player One for "Lit of Utopia/Dystopia." The original paper, written in the Winter of 2018, uses literary and scholarly source material to examine surveillance, human connection, and mediation between the real and virtual world. The reflection was written in the Spring of 2019.
