Here is my a paragraph I wrote for reference:
I remember one time before my big history exam, I was at my desk, with my textbook and surrounded by piles of notes, struggling to cram every fact and date into my head, but everything seemed to blur together, my head was spinning and panic started sneaking in. Without thinking, I grabbed my phone and started Googling, hoping for a quick answer to a question I couldn’t quite remember. Instantly, dozens of results popped up websites, flashcards, study guides. Everything I needed was right there, a few taps away, and suddenly I felt a huge wave of relief. But as I scrolled through neatly organized dates and summaries, a strange thought struck me. Werner Herzog once described the Internet as “the nervous system of our planet,” yet in that moment, it felt more like an extension of my own brain, like I was so used to “Googling” things that I hadn’t realized just how much I depended on it, how I could call up any piece of knowledge without truly learning it. The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if this reliance was holding me back—if I was really learning anything at all or if I was just memorizing the process of finding answers. As I returned to my notes, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my instant access to information was keeping me from understanding things on my own, that maybe the ease of finding answers had become a crutch, leaving me with a shallow grasp instead of real knowledge.
Description:
Watch the film Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected WorldLinks to an external site..
Based on the film’s premise, write a narrative essay that tells a personal story of your own experience with digital technology. Because this is a narrative essay, you’ll want to write about a specific moment, incident, or feeling; do not write a general piece on technology, an argument, or a mere exploration of the subject. Tell a story as though you’re talking to a friend, but with good grammar.
When you brainstorm for your paper, think of things like missed connections, distraction, “cat fishing,” superficial online relationships, instantaneous connections, access to information, reunions via social media, social media induced envy, global connections, diminishing intelligence (because we can Google everything), social media/tech burnout, and instant gratification.
This is the only essay assignment that can be written from a first-person point-of-view (using I/we).
Requirements:
Use at least 3 direct quotes from Lo and Behold in your paper.
Cite Lo and Behold and any other source(s) you use in MLA bibliographic style.
750 – 1000 words
typed double-spaced
font size no larger than 12 points
1-inch margins

People often speak of the “meta-fictional” nature of post-modern fiction writing, but the impulse is in many ways as old as the impulse to create fictions; think of Cervantes. Describe the ways in which three modern American novels (i.e., Faulkner, James, Hurston, Cather, Wharton, etc.) are themselves about novel-making or embody the impulse of novel-making in the formal procedures.

Next week, we will begin a new unit where we will explore and eventually write interdiscplinary research papers. Beginning next week, we will be reading some theoretical pieces on language that will help set us up for thinking about interdiscplinary topics around language. Then we will read scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that demonstrate the kind of research you will find and use for your own research papers. Those scholarly articles may cross disciplines as varied as language and public health, language and sociology, language and history, language and political science, language and technology, and language and legal studies (just to name a few). Ultimately, however, your research paper topics should reflect your own interests.
*****Where do you situate yourself in interdiscplinary studies? What academic disciplines and disciplinary crossings are of interest to you? How do your academic interests coincide with your professional or personal interests? Has talking about language, literacy, and communication prompted any connections to your own scholarly interests?
be careful when you answer this question you will do the big research topic on it.

overarching concern of much of eighteenth-century literature is the problem of how to read the body. The Country Wife is about a notorious rake whose challenge is to feign impotence to other men while making women understand that he is still very much – indeed, now more than ever—open for business. Swift’s Lady’s Dressing Room seeks to “expose” the armory of powders, paints, and pomades that women use to dissimulate the “reality” of their bodies. Likewise, Tristram Shandy evinces an obsession with gesture and posture—the doffing of a hat, the flourish of a walking stick, the angle of the orating body. Persuasion thematizes the challenges of discerning thoughts and feelings on the surfaces of the body when social circumstances render point-blank verbal declarations either improper or impossible. What forms does the eighteenth century’s investment in body-reading take, what significances does it seem to have (what “other” problems might it seem to stand for?), and how does it change over time or across different texts? Your discussion may focus on the works named above, or you may choose other examples; either way, your answer should engage with at least two different gen
