My second project for this class, "Lost Knowledge through Time," was for an assignment where we had to create an argument based around something we read in class. My topic was the idea of lost media, and how its comparable to the poem "The Ruin" since both are about fallen empires with lost knowledge. I thought it was a cool idea but I definitely got too into the weeds with it in the middle, if I redid it I would tie it more into the thesis and find more sources for what I was talking about. I had fun with it, sure, but having fun writing something does not a good essay make. I wish I had taken more time to rewrite the middle section because I feel it would have been a good essay if I did.That sounds cynical. However, it is true, since it would have made the essay better if I didn't as much fun with it.
