What stands out to me overall in this American Icon Project is that there were many emotions found during the written artist statement that helped the writing feel more real and straight to the point. I really liked this because I like reading writing where there is a lot of emotion and passion to convince the reader how much they know about whatever they are writing about. This helped many students in their writing because it taught them how to be more descriptive and be simple at the same time. An example of this would be me, who at first didn't know what to write about but then found many emotions that she just had to put on paper so that they could be read by people that wanted to know why my family was my American Icon.
The experience during this project is very over whelming because without knowing it you can make someone feel the connection your feeling with your American Icon. This is something many writers tend to fail on but a lot of us did a great job on figuring out how to organize our paper so that it all made sense as to why we chose who we chose. Personally I think that my work survived the critiques of it being boring and not convincing. I think I did a great job convincing people that I knew what I was talking about and made them feel the scenery that I was describing.
My thoughts on the book being close to publication is very nervracking because even though we are not professionals we tried our best to do what we could in making this the best book ever. We focused a lot on "Make Meaning Early" because it's something that many authors tend to do in their writing, and I think this was great because it says that we could also become professional writers as well.
