Hello everyone!
I am back with my last project. If you followed my two previous projects you probably noticed that there has been a big transformation in my writing At the beginning of this course I limited myself to describe certain ideas but I wasn’t able to make my own contribution and to connect those ideas to the author we were analyzing. However, throughout the course I have learned to write differently and in my last project I managed to build my own work and to relate it to Paulo Freire. For this third project we are looking at Richard Miller through reading his piece of work The Dark Night of the Soul. One of the things which most caught my attention about this author is how he manages to use different stories to develop his own ideas and conclusions. I see Miller as the most critical author within the three we have analyzed throughout the semester. This makes me want to raise the following question in this project:
What is the power of being a critical reader or writer?
I believe there is not just one type of person and consequently there is not just one type of reader. In this course I have learned to become critical and thoughtful but what are the benefits of being critical?
I hope you enjoy my project and please feel free to leave any comments because I find them really useful!

It is clear that you have put a lot of effort and research into this project, which I greatly admire, so keep it up! You have a lot to work with and the way you have written about it really pulls the reader in from the get-go. In particular, the bolding of certain ideas really helps the reader get a grasp of what is really important that you're trying to convey here. I agree with Chris that you should try incorporating more media, but overall, excellent job!

Carmen,
This idea is very interesting. I like how you connected your last project back to things we started talking about in the beginning of the semester. I think your homepage is very well done, and i like the direction you are heading with this project. The only think I would suggest is to add a bit of color to your page. I think if you put in a picture supplement your writing, this page would be great.
