Aaron Samuels Research Blog: Extra Credit: The Writing Center
http://aaronresearchblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/extra-credit-writing-center.html
Aaron Samuels Research Blog. Friday, April 4, 2008. Extra Credit: The Writing Center. On Wednesday I attended the Writing Center Workshop on Critical Analysis of a Secondary Source. The workshop began with a breakdown of things to pay attention to regarding a source. This reminded me of the lay of the land worksheet that Ms. Bates Gave us in class except it was much more detailed and grouped the questions into categories. One of the best ways to judge a source is by pinpointing its unstated assumptions.

Elizabeth's Blog: Yet Another New Working Thesis
http://elizabethroseblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/yet-another-new-working-thesis.html
Wednesday, April 16, 2008. Yet Another New Working Thesis. I am having far too much fun with this blog tonight. Thesis: The contrasting mobility of Thelma and Louise's vehicle, in contrast to the essentially stationary or immobile vehicles of the men within the film, allows the main characters to evolve and develop within the film, while simultaneously dismissing the conventions previous placed on them by society and the men they escape from. Also, I responded to your last comment below. Lay of the Land.
