This week in AP Lit, we spent our week analyzing a document and forming an argument from it. This brings flashbacks to the days of AP US history. That class was based on looking through documents in history and making a claim regarding them. It was very refreshing to do this in AP lit because it was a very familiar activity and allowed me to apply something I've already learned to AP Lit.
Debating is one of my favorite things, it is great to have your beliefs challenged by someone knowledgeable on the subject. I thought it was a little bit poorly constructed, the documents we were given really allied themselves with one viewpoint, not providing a lot of support to both arguments. This made it difficult to hold an argument without finding our own sources. Other than that though it was fun and helpful to see both sides of the argument.
This week I feel like I wrote one of the best thesis' I have ever written. It was regarding the government protecting citizens from the tracking of big web corporations. I feel that it is not necessary due ot the fact that pretty much all citizens know about it and that it is a business. Big websites like Facebook and Twitter in not in the business of destroying individuals, they want to make money. This week was excellent for creating a document.
