Reflection
Going into this assignment i though it was going to be a piece of cake. You do a little research, A little typing and boom, a good grade. But i was dead wrong. It was tough. Between the long hours of research, the planning, organizing and writing, I was dead tired after this was all over. The easiest part was then i went to sleep AFTER i finished. The hardest part was everything. I think I did everything well and i could probably use improvement on revision. I still would have chose this because i HATE essays and blogs are sort of okay.
statment of process
1. I did tons upon tons of research on Sylvia Plath learning everything about her
2. I compiled a list of topics to work on about her. I added and took away topics until i got 10 good topics to work on
3. I typed my butt off and corrected things along the way
4. For every post i did i thoroughly checked it for errors.
5. After every post i cracked my knuckles so that i may do the next one
6. I wrote my statement of process and reflection
7. Ms. sackstein will see it and give me a good grade (i hope).

Simulated Children Accounts to Mother’s Death Years Later
Our mother death has left a gaping hole in our hearts. For we don’t know why she left us she had her reasons. It is up to us to take where she left on as being apart of her. We were small and couldn’t understand the ramifications of her death but seeing how this points to conflict between her and father, we are at a crossroad. All we can really do is use her works and book and live our life. Also, though we know not well of our mother we do know that we love her dearly and that was mutual on both sides…
