Journal Entry 96 Title: Independent Reading Project Reflection

Int his project, I did a report and a poster on the book, Great Expectations. For the book report, I based on what I've learned in the book and the plot that I remembered in my mind. The book report made me think harder into the story, and also made me reorganize the plot in my mind. This report also gave me a clear idea about the theme, after I reorganized it. The theme is to love and care about the things around you, not just assume a ridiculous future. I used to be like that, thinking about a bigger future, a great expectation, but they only disappoints me. This project is useful to people like me. I don't think much when I read, but when thinking became a required procedure, I will do it and have fun doing it. The poster i made for the book, the Great Expectations, is a wanted poster. I made a wanted poster for this book, because there are many crimes, criminals, convicts, escapee, and kidnapping in the story. My poster is about Abel Magwitch, since he is the one who did the most crime. I did many drafts on this project. At first I did one, but i think the style of the poster didn't appeal to me at all, so I decided to remake one. I was satisfied with my second draft. It is a more cartoonic version, and I think it's perfect for this project. But then, I realized that it's totally wrong, the unit of award's amount should be in pounds, instead of dollars. Also, I forgot to put the criminal's name in. So  had to remake one. On the last one, I made all the lining PERFECT, and the picture is even better than last time, and there are no more mistakes.
