Paper 1 - Reflection

     The basic claim of the project was to show how Seinfeld relates to me personally and how it connects with the Everything’s a Remix videos. This project is supposed to be a feeler for what’s to come in the class. It’s supposed to warm us up to analyzing how Seinfeld still has relevance in today’s society. From this paper I learned that even in an opinionated paper, facts are needed. In the second draft I made the connections between Seinfeld and myself more clear by providing examples. I also made my arguments about Seinfeld being an influence on today’s television more clearly. I also had to get rid of few things that didn't do anything for my paper such as the paragraph about Seinfeld being the spur of shows being named after the main character.

     I could definitely use more examples from Seinfeld episodes and episodes of the shows I compared it to. My comparisons worked well but they were a bit shallow at times. If I added specific episode examples my paper would've been more in-depth and readers could see the connections easier. My voice and style was consistent but I feel that I came off like I was ranting at times. If I could back up my claims with more cold, hard facts I’ll be fine.
