Hello Fellow Scholars!
With one week further into the quarter, we have expanded our portfolio and with that, given the opportunity to grow as writers.
This has been a very eventful week filled with presentations, analyses, and reading. Overall, it has been a good week. A particular triumph this week was the presentation our group hasd to put together and present. It was not to difficult to find information on zombies considering they have a grand role the horror genre for a while now.

In particular to I Am Legend, and the second half of the book. In the first half of the book is a lot of setting the scene and introduction to the world that Robert Neville lives in as well as his place in that world. In the second half we are introduced to new characters and to Neville’s reactions to those new characters.
Along with the reading of I Am Legend, additional material included the viewing of The Exorcist. I have said more than once and will say it again, I am not a fan of horror movies. What other place than college than to try new things? I told myself that I was going to watch the movie for academic reasons, which it was. The movie was not as scary as I had anticipated and the experience was not bad. I can compare the experience to riding a new rollercoaster(which, again, I am not the biggest fan of). The feeling of anxiety beforehand, the thrill during the experience, and the want to do it again after.
As for my writing, I believe it is evolving. I have noticed that I am getting better at effectively writing and getting my point across more clearly. If I am not doing that in my first draft, I always ask myself “Is there a better way of writing this?” as I am
