Welcome to my journey through ENC1145!
On the very first day of class, Logan told us that he would be changing the way we thought of Harry Potter and popular culture as a whole. I did not really believe him seeing as I am an avid Harry Potter reader and fan. As I look through my papers, I now see how my view of Harry Potter has changed. I can see how in the memoir I was already beginning to see Harry Potter differently than I was before. In my research paper I found that there are many stereotypes that surround Hogwarts and that there are even people who do not live up to those stereotypes. As I continue my third assignment I now know that stereotypes are something that a lot of people are passionate about and they want to stop the cycle too! Throughout the semester I have learned that editing your papers over and over again is the only way to succeed, that you cannot make a perfect first draft. I used to think someone who wrote very well was just talented, that it was natural, but I have learned that I am not that bad of a writer. It is encouraging to think that people have been impacted by my assignments and papers because there is a method and reason to this madness.
