Americans in Paris Essays
In our US2 class, our first assignment was to read the book "Americans in Paris" and interact with the content as much as possible. This book contained multitude of information, presented in everything from quotes to paintings. In two separate essays, we were asked to analyze our favorite character, and compare ourselves to them, and then analyze how a concept that was used in Paris in the 1800's, has been built upon today. I received full credit for both assignments, and I believe both of these essays demonstrate how ideas have changed over time, the assessment of evidence as to how our world was effected by Paris, and an ability to interpret various types of documents to meet the needs of supporting a thesis.
