final project


I will be doing project option #1.  I have chosen Walt Whitman as my author.  I enjoy the general topics he writes about.  I find his poems to be very meaningful and he uses an outspoken voice.  I have a book that contains a collection of his poems.  I look forward to finding some more of his work to complete this assignment.  This assignment will be one that I'll really enjoy, I suspect.  I would like to understand more about him as a person as well as learn from his writing techniques in order to enhance my own writing ability.  I will probably use some of the Yavapai library website search results as well as any other web databases I can find.  I will be looking for any writings on Walt Whitman at the local bookstores and libraries.

Oh' Pioneers, by Walt Whitman in a Levis' advertisement.  A good friend of mine, Chase, is in it.

  1. Hello Stephen,
    You seem really eager and passionate about this project just because of who you get to write about. The topic choice of any paper is really what makes or breaks the outcome and how much fun you have with it. The video you posted in so cool and i'm glad that i caught that you mentioned your friend is in the video. What a cool way to get pumped for your paper, good luck Stephen!
