Archives Assignment (sort of)
When I started writing my paper for the research assignment I thought about the folders that I did not look into and thought about what I would write about if I saw that information. I then actually looked at the notes and pictures I took while I was in the archives and started writing based off of that and realized the correlation and flow in the notes which helped a lot with the transitions and the overall ease of writing the paper. I still have a desire to add to my draft after more research in the archives just because I feel like there is a lot of unexplored content inside of the archives that could immensely help the progression of my paper. Even if I do not use my future endeavors to the archives as a means to help the progression of my paper I will use them as a learning experience and also a means of entertainment. The things you find inside of the archives are somewhat creepy considering you are reading letters written by dead people, but also interesting because you feel some kind of strange connection to that person just by seeing their personal hand written notes to other people. I wonder what Amelia Earhart would think if she knew random people like me were reading her letters and documents. If I knew someone was going to read my stuff after I died I would be so paranoid and freaked out I would probably end up burning all of my documents. But then assignments like this wouldn't exist, so I would probably actually end up hiding all of my documents in a safe or something so if they were to be destroyed it would not be by my own doing.
