Literary Analysis #1 for The Girl with Glass Feet
For my literary book, I have chosen to read The Girl with Glass Feet. It is written by Ali Shaw and is about a young girl named Ida who once vacationed in the mystical St. Hauda's Land. During her vaction on this mysterious island, she developed a disease that began to take root in her feet. She was turning to glass. Now, she has returned to the island to find a cure before the glass takes over her whole body. Once there she meets Midas, who has lived on the island his whole life. They develop a friendship where he helps her come to terms with her illness, and slowly, they begin to fall in love. The theme that I think is prevalent in this book is love. Midas falls in love with her no matter what she looks like, Ida still has the ability to love even though she is being overtaken by this disease, and they both create a deep and ever-lasting bond that will continue on even after they are both gone.

OHpedia Project Reflection
How was the OHpedia project important to you?
It was important to me because I learned a lot more about World War II than I had thought I would. I got to completely focus on this one standard for a good amount of time and really learn about it.
How did your expectations of what you could do as a learner change throughout this project?
I thought that when we first started this project, it would be really boring and uninteresting and we wouldn't put a lot of effort into it. But as we worked more and more on it, I found that I was interested in what was going on. So by getting to create a project that Nathan and I both wanted to do and by getting excited about it and motivating each other, we created a website with our information that I am really proud of.
In what ways did you become more persistent or tolerant throughout the process?
There were a few different situations where I became more persistant and/or tolerant. One of them was when we were getting close to the deadline and we had a lot of benchmarks left to write about. This is when Nathan and I buckled down and worked really hard to complete them. We kind of had a fun race going as well to see who could finish first. We kept each other motivated by sending the information to each other whenever we would finish something. We both were also very tolerant with our crazy schedules and trying to find time to meet. Nathan made sure that we stayed in constant communication and I made sure that we were always on task. This way we created a tolerance with each other.
What satisfied you most about this project?
I was really satisfied when we put all of the information on the website and made it look really good. I also enjoyed making the flow chart, I think that that was a really important part of our project. When I finished it I felt so accomplished and I was truly proud of the project that we created.
What things about this project really matched your style of learning?
I really liked having a partner there to help me stay organized and not lose track of what we are doing. Also, a lot of this project involved reading and writing, which are both my strong suits.
What will you always remember about this project?
Pertaining to the actual project, I will remember The Nuremberg Trials the most because they were the benchmark that I was most interested in. Personally, I will remember all of the mornings that Nathan would wake me up by texting me and telling me that it's time to get to work!
