Journal #10

What did you think of the novel? Give specific details as to what was good and what you thought could have been better. Give constructive feedback not just, "the book was dumb". You will not earn credit for that type of response.

I liked the book, but i feel the ending could have been better. They didn't really do anything but blow up the city but how would that solve all the problems, because who said all the people died. And if they were to rebuild things could go back to how they were. The also didn't really tell what was going to happen next after everything was destroyed. I did like the twist on the firemen being the bad people in society though, it made the book interesting. 

Journal #9

What did you learn from yesterday's MeL exercise? How did it shape your plan to research? What topic did you decide on? How did you come to this conclusion? How will you approach researching your topic based on what you learned yesterday and our discussion on credible sources? Be specific.
I learned about the website, but i still dont really understand how to use it, its very confusing! I haven't picked a topic for my research project yet either. I will probubly try to use MeL to research but i may also use other credible sources too!
