    This sounds like a perfect event for you to have attended, connecting both to your writing interests and your final research project! Could you see specific connections you could make between this material and your thesis or specific argument points for your final project?

    Christos,
    This is a great point: “‘Live’ life narrative differs from written or illustrated memoirs. Her making eye contact with the audience proves that the therapy is going well, and maybe the stand-comedy session was the next step.” Notaro’s comedy set is notable because she’s using it as a type of therapy as these tragedies and challenges…[Read more]

    Lujain,
    I think either of your options 2 & 3 would be great to look at for a final project. I’d steer away from Carson’s since most political/star autobiographies are ghost written, which makes them difficult to hold up under the scrutiny of literary study. Malala’s memoir, on the other hand, ties in well with her other public speeches and…[Read more]

    Naiya,
    My first comment is purely aesthetic: make sure you save as pdf to get all the spacing/tabs/margins set so they won’t move around in various browsers or software. In general, you want to diversify your verb categories and lead with the strongest activities first (so “created” instead of repeating “developed”; leave “completed” or…[Read more]

If you want to improve your results when you apply online, just follow up with a phone call or a contact with a specific employee to make sure they receive your application and to express your interest in person. Volunteering is…[Read more]

    Hi, Naiya. You’ve got some interesting insights on your blog entries here; just keep revising them for accuracy and detailed content in terms of using specific quotes or cited moments from the text that connect between ideas in the memoirs and theoretical framework in Smith and Watson.

    Christos,
    Your blog is looking good in terms of detailed responses to readings; you’ve got great insights and a thorough analysis of each reading. To revise, think about polishing and refining more than adding detail. Are there places you can sharpen each entry? Condense your prose for emphasis? Cut ideas that distract from the main point or…[Read more]

    Lujain,
    This is a really nice summation of the festival, and yes, there is always a huge hall with all the books from authors who are speaking. You can get the authors to sign them at specific times as well. To add a bit more depth to your reading entries (even this one), consider connecting to specific passages of Smith and Watson and their…[Read more]
