Peer Review

Although I did not attend class for the peer review due to illness I will still write a post on what Hye Su and I discussed in our meeting and the peer review I've experienced in the past.

When any peer has reviewed papers in the past they always find mistake that I commonly overlook, sections of the paper that need more explanation or revisions and new ideas that I had not thought of. Hye Su did this same process with my paper. She highlighted what the important parts of the paper should be and how I should emphasize those ideas. From this I learned what my argument should steer toward and what I should elaborate less upon.

When the tables are turned and I review someone else's paper I naturally find the same things other find in my papers. I find the easy fix mistakes and try to think of new ways to elaborate on the topic their paper deals with. In turn this process helps me with my own paper. When review someone's I usually get new ideas about sentence and paragraph structure, then I will incorporate these ideas into my own paper.

The Oval

The oval. Everyone at Ohio State knows this great place to sit, relax, study and just toss a frisbee around. This large, open space is located in the middle of campus and provides some much needed greenery to the surrounding area of essentially all man made creations.

The main purpose for the oval is to sit around and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it be in the chill of fall, the snow of winter or the freshness of spring, the oval is great in any weather. Other than to sit in wonder of nature, it is also a great place to meet friends and just relax. It is a great meeting place in the middle of campus fro those who are coming from opposite site of our enormous campus. If anyone has not enjoyed the oval yet, I highly suggest visiting as often as possible.

My Thesis

The differences between the graphic novel The Watchmen and the movie invokes different feeling during those scenes. For example in the scene where Laurie is walking down the hallway, her snow globe is missing from the movie and makes the movie scene less dramatic.

Watchmen Project Summary

My project for English 110 is to analyse and evaluate the similarities and differences between the graphic novel Watchmen and the movie version. I was initially drawn toward this topic from our discussion in class about images. I know that both graphic novels and movies, and what could be better than comparing and contrasting the same story in both medias. I recently stumbled upon the older version of the movie. This movie may have better images than the newer one, but I need to watch it first in order to evaluate this statement.

Let Me Introduce Myself, My Name Is Humpty.

Hello class (sorry about the poor 90's reference, although it is pronounced with an -umpty for those who still know what I'm talking about). My name is Chaz Millfelt and I am originally from Zanesville Ohio. My interests are of most men: sports, bass guitar, video games, art, music, and anything related with bacon. Lately my live has been consumed by either my little brother, who is 3 years old or the renivation of my family's house in Granville, which is almost 200 years old. I am definitely a family oriented person and somewhat of a mama's boy. I live with my parents, 2 17 years old twin sisters and the star of the show, my little brother. Our whole family has a strange affinity for monkeys, gardening (except for me), and Micheal Jackson.
