* Was it helpful? What did you like/hate most about it? What was the most useful comment you got? What are you going to change?
Today the peer review was a little bit helpful. What I liked most about it was that I got to ask you questions about my paper. What I hated most about it was that neither of my partners were here to give me any of their advice or help me with my paper. The most useful comment I got was probably regarding the criteria part of my paper. It made me realize that it sounds like I am still summarizing in my criteria paragraph so I need to channge it and make is more specific. A few of the things I am going to change in my paper include how much I use the movie title, the word "I" and little things here and there that need to be fixed to improve my paper.

*What did you like/hate the most about it? What was the most useful thing you learned? What was the hardest thing to do in the paper?
The thing that I hated the most about this paper was doing all of the research. This was a long process that consisted of searching for scholarly articles and reading through all of them and then choosing which information what the most important. I thought this process was long and a little bit hard. However, the part I liked the most about it was all of the new things that I learned from doing all of the research. Although I already knew a bit about the topic I know have a greater understanding for it.
The most useful thing that I learned would probaby be how to use the library's website. Also, learning how the writing center works was also very useful to learn and experience. From doing this paper I also learned many new things about citing APA style; this will be very useful.
The hardest thing to do in the paper was probably all of the citing that it required. This paper had a lot of citations, paraphrasing and summarizing, so there was a lot of citing. Also, I felt like the references page was a bit hard to get right and to make perfect. I think the hardest thing about this paper was trying not to plagarize because of all of the citing that needed to be done.

The saying, "Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity"- Horace Mann
* Be ashamed to die until you have won a victory for humanity"- Harace Mann
To me, this quote means basically what it says. It is saying that you should be ashamed to die if you have not yet had the chance to do something good for humanity. Another way of thinking about what this quote is saying the you should be ashamed if you have not done something good for humanity throughout your life and because having died without doing so is shameful. I believe this quote is advising people to go out and do some good. Doing good makes people feel great about themselves and having not contibuted to humanity can make you feel ashamed. Another way of wording this message is that you should feel ashamed of yourself until you do good for humanity. I think it is saying that you should not be satisfied with the life you are living until you "win a victory for humanity".
