BLOG #18: REPORT ON RESEARCH PAPER

                                Writing a research paper requires a lot of work and dedication.
When I first began the process of researching the film. I began by watching the film again to refresh my memory.
I ran through the film with a fine tooth comb. I noticed a lot more detail now, then I did four years ago when I last saw.  Spike Lee is truly a genius! Everything from the writings on the wall, to what the people were chanting in the movie all had meaning. I went to the Laguardia library and took out a book on Ronald Reagan who was the 40th president at the time. Honestly it didn't help much. So I did a lot of online research with the daily news and New York times and came up with some mind-blowing facts for paper. I didn't know that to describe the era in which Reagan was president. It was called "Reganomics", do to the tax cuts that Reagan made at the time for the city. Also, researching the household income for different minorities in the city was interesting as well. I came across a lot of facts that will be really helpful for my paper. I was thinking to go to the LaGuardia Achieves
like I did for the last research essay. I think there will be some great articles and information as well that can help with my paper. Overall, the process of doing this paper has been a bit tiring and trying on the brain, being that its the final 2 weeks of classes. It has been a fun journey doing the research. I've learned so many things that I should've known a long time ago. It has helped me tremendously!
