First, the title of this post is hyperbolic. Hopefully.
Second, allow me to throwback to an earlier post with this gif:

Why exactly am I bringing back this particular image? Well, because it summarizes my mental state of being right now after turning in my argumentative research paper which focused on archival research and archival knowledge. In all, it was two parts good research, three parts attempted organization, two more parts hopefully sound arguments, and three parts shaky implementation of sources as support, background, and examples.
Outlining and organizing my arguments was not the problem for this essay, rather, my problem was making all the arguments I wanted to make – and being able to support them. Depth, instead of breath, is what I struggled with this last essay. In retrospect, I feel that my essay was actually a duology of two essays that were very relevant and connected to each other. I might have taken on more than I was able to handle, but hey, what’s done is done.
Moving onward then, for my multimodal translation of this research, I will definitely trim down what I have to say. I need to really narrow down my arguments/information to a point, and have fun doing it.
