Blog Retrospective

This semester feels like it went much faster than the first. The most realistic possibility for that happening I can think of is that I felt more comfortable with my place at USC and got adjusted to my classes quickly. In regards to this class, I was already familiar with writing college papers, as I took a college composition course in high school.

Writing blog posts felt akin to reflecting on the writing process on each of papers, and I was able to detail what I wanted to write about and reference it later on if I ever forgot.

With me being an Interactive Media and Entertainment major, I am able to reflect issues in America by writing certain themes into games, though that depends on the stories I want to write. Research papers are necessary for my field since I have no plans on becoming a games scholar. I am, however, glad that I had the chance to write.

Inclusion of her sarcastic humor and serious, calculating personality was necessary. As seen in the movie, without her signature traits, she is rather one-dimensional. Her lack of personality emphasizes the dependence the movie places on her beauty as a definition of herself and would ha
