WP3 - Blog Entry #1 - Glory

     The people who wrote history were the victors. With missing key components in explaining history, a possible topic for a reevaluation in history can possibly be the role of African American soldiers during the American Revolution. The prompting of this topic came from the film "Glory" that told the story of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, which was one of the biggest sections of African American soldiers that composed the Continental Army. 

    This topic would be suitable for the reevaluation because information about the opportunities that were offered from African Americans during the American Revolution. Even though their operations lead to failure and plenty of casualties, their story is worth telling because of the spirit of African American soldiers that were prominent because of their desire to participate whilst partitioning for the abolition of slavery.

    I think your topic is great, and talks about a movement that is not really talked about much in History. A Full developed an analysis on this history is truly necessary in our society today.

Blogging - A Retrospective

  This transitionary year back into school after such a long period of self-isolation allowed me to reflect upon myself academically and personally. This thematic approach taught me the twisted past of American contexts and the complexities within modern day society because of the foundations implanted by history. My writing was very mechanical in the beginning of the year because I felt like I had to follow some kind of format. As time progressed, I felt the freedom in letting my writing flow. It was an experimental year. USC has a very advanced underclassmen batch and I believed that benefitted the collaborative aspect of this class. Every single piece of insight, feedback, or conversations about my interests and topics translated into a web of consciousness that developed my ideas and reinforced the content of my writing.  Beyond WRIT-150, I want to continue writing about my thoughts, whether that be through journaling or blogging (or maybe even tweeting). It's like speakin...

Assignment #2 - Blog Entry #2 - Nixon's Defeat

      The main objective of students protesting was for President Richard Nixon to ultimately pull American forces from Cambodia with hopes of gradually removing American involvement in the Vietnam War. On May 26, 1970, President Nixon seized his operations to invade Cambodia. It can be implied that the anti-war movement was one critical factor that contributed to the overbearing pressure on the American government, that ultimately resulted in Nixon to end his invasion of Cambodia in hopes of ending the Vietnam War. Overall, the students gained an impressive amount of public support from the nation as it seemed that a tragic event formulated a wave of anger and sadness that only brought people together to combat global conflict and promote the practice of peace.      Although these protestors achieved their goal of ending Nixon's operation to invade Cambodia, there was this lasting impact on the supporters of the cause as there was an introduction of t...
