Today in class, we went over several kinds of support for Reading-Based Writing. We went over the MLA, Modern Language Association, format and we also got familiar with what are citations and a works cited page. Going through this format of writing was a good review, I am glad our text book provides clear and concise directions on what is required when using MLA format. This chapter also provided us with an example of a student essay with documentation and a professional essay with the all the applications we have gone over in this chapter.
As a class we read over an essay called, "The Struggle to Be an All-American Girl", written by Elizabeth Wong. The essay is about her struggle as she finds her identity between her Chinese culture and the American culture. This essay reminded me of the Chamorro people's struggle in trying to preserve our culture while we have already been so influenced by the Western-American culture.
Today's class was great.
