Part of my coursework this semester was remediating my ENG 250 course from last semester. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, as well as lack of motivation from virtual schooling, I left my ENG 250 as an incomplete last semester. My final assignment for the class was the final paper; a 3-5 page argumentative essay, which could be on any topic from the 3 books we read during the course. The essay also required a significant amount of textual evidence to back up our thesis. The thesis I chose presented the idea of the One Soul or Over Soul in The Grapes of Wrath. This assignment improved my Global Awareness during the research. The events told by Steinbeck in GOW, as well as the information I looked into on the Over Soul improved my overall understanding of the human condition. The biggest mistake I made was taking insufficient notes while reading the novel. This made it very difficult to find evidence for my thesis, because I had to run back through the book several more times. If I were to do this assignment again, I would take a lot of notes. In the future, I believe that a better understanding of human nature will help me, not only in school, but in life.
