"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." Maya Angelou
My previous experiences in research writing are very surface as I only did research projects in my high school, Newington High School. I've always enjoyed writing and english classes however this english comp class has been my favorite in my entire life. My research question: Does the media glorify abusive and toxic friendships to create a social norm for young girls? This research project is based off of the documentary we watched in class, Miss Representation. This documentary is making a clear argument that the media portrays women in such a light that limits our value and power in our American society. I am writing to reach young girls essentially between the ages of about ten to age 20 , essentially the "teen" group. I am writing an MLA paper. Relating to my research project you an go and view my blog posts #12 , #13, and #14 which discusses my process and ideas for this assignment.
