Final Essay

So I know I am a little late in the game to be writing this but I am a little late in the game with several of my blogs so it is what it is I guess. Well this essay was definitly a challenge filled with more research than actual writing. I choose to write about Manley's use of amatory fiction to disguise her political satire. It is mostly about why she would write using the genre of amatory fiction over another less controversial genre. What I found was that she used amatory fiction because it was controversial, that was in a way her cover. She used a controversial subject to portray her even more controversial ideas and satires. It was most definitly an interesting topic and I am glad that I choose it because while it was a great deal of work there were several really strong sources that I found that were full of information. It was also a topic that held my attention and that I found interesting. I was really glad that I spoke to Dr. Jones (through email) because I was having such a difficult time narrowing my topic because I knew I wanted to write about that particular story and author but it was difficult trying to focus my thoughts. Once she gave me a topic that she felt was appropriate it gave me a clear idea of what to do and that is what really helped me. I found that online books were the best thing and that is what ended up being my main source. I have also decided that google scholar is a god send and I will never write another essay without it. The unb website was somewhat helpful but even with our research presentation I still find it rather confusing and I found it more helpful to use google scholar and simply have the google scholar find articles that were linked to the unb website. But even then the unb website was not a huge help with this essay.
I have to say that more than anything I am glad that this essay is done. It was a difficult essay and it was difficult finding strong sources but once it was all said and done I think I have written a strong essay and it is great to have one class out of the way and done.
