Extra Extra 1

The first extra credit seminar I attended lasted 30 Minutes. I attended a lecture about homosexuality. Initially I feared that I may have been directed to the wrong classroom. The lecture was focused on Alfred Prufrock, a poet that is thought to be bisexual. The lecture began by describing what it means to be feminine and gay. The lecture continued to explain how Prufrock had several of these attributes. The man giving the lecture was also gay(homosexual). Because of the mans background, he had a good understanding about what to look for as he indicated that Prufrock was a flaming homosexual, and there was no "bi-" about Prufrock.
When Prufrock wrote these poems homosexuality was not acceptable. Most of the evidence of Prufrock's homosexuality was hidden in the work he left behind. To support this claim, examples from Prufrock's peotry and music were examined.

I learned important steps for creating convincing research papers.

-Establish background knowledge
-Discuss Evidence
-Explain the Evidence and background knowledge to create a convincing conclusion
