Proposal Blog
For my last piece in the Tower Review this year I am going to do a few book reviews based off of the assigned summer reading lists. For freshman, I will be reading The Great Gatsby. For sophmores, I will be reading both The Mysterious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Pride and Predudice and Zombies. For seniors, I will be reading Death and the Maiden. This a large assignment, and I think I can handle it. If not, I will be eliminating Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the list, for it is longer than the others. I think I will read Pride and Prejuidce and Zombies first, for it seems the most interesting and I have a feeling I will read through it quickly. Then I will read Death and the Maiden, and then The Great Gatsby. Gatsby is on my summer reading list, so I want to read it last so it is freshest in my brain. I don't plan on making the reviews all that long, but brief and summary-like. I also want to include the length of time it takes to read it in a cram, and rate it with stars.

Progress Blog
I have finished my child prodegie article and I am somewhat pleased with the results. I plan to further my revisions over this weekend and Tuesday in class. While I believe I used the right amount of information, the organization is a little scrambled. I plan on rewriting someportions and reconstucting many of the sentances. Overall it was a difficult article to write, since there was just so much information on the topic out there. It was hard to sort through all of it and find tidbits I thought would help my piece. I also think I may link to some of the article I used in the end for those who are curious to other sources on the topic. I wish I had gotten in contact with the guy you mentioned in the last part, but I was just so discombobulated this week I just used information I found online. I still don't know my article's over all message, so I hope editing it a lot will help me find it.
