Quote: “One may smile, and smile, and be a villain. ”
Source: The Great Gatsby
This photo represents a quote that I read in "The Great Gatsby" This quote is really powerful and can be seen in many different ways. The way I saw it was making an approach of something meant to be good with another side to it that changes its positive side. I feel like this image makes it even the more grateful beside the quote, it compliments the strength of what the quote means and what it's making you see which is how even the "bad" can be disguised as the "good"

Ampersand: Internships is coming!
As you write your article, what is your engine?
My engine is catching the readers attention and keep it that way by having a central theme that catches my personal emotions and is a way to get up close and personal. This then develops into the expansion of how I felt during my internship experience and why I started thinking about reconsidering my career choice in the future.
What are the key questions that you are answering for your readers?
Some key questions that I will be answering for the readers who read my essay will be, the overall experience that I had during internship and what I took from it, for example how it taught me to be more independent and do stuff for myself instead of depending on someone else. Another thing would be the realizations that I had during some moments where I sometimes didn't like the idea of what I was doing and wasn't so sure about what I wanted to be. And the most important question that I think I answered in my essay was the way I felt while I was surrounded by young kids who saw me as a role model.
What are the key questions that you are answering for yourself as you write?
My self questions that I am answering are, for example how I self reflected in my overall experience and thinking back on how I did during my internship. At times I think I talked about why I wanted to re think my decision on what I wanted to do as a career in the future.
If this were a more "standardized" writing assignment, what would the prompt be?
I think that the prompt would be, "A reflection about your experience during internship and how it affected you afterwards"

Quote: "She has tried. Just as she has tried to be more easygoing, but when push comes to shove, as it always will, she is not easygoing."

Original Context: "All right," She found herself saying."Just once. Today. Just once. This is it. "Breaking her resolution to stop qualifying, five or more minutes, this last page, one more bite, and wishing, mid speech, she would stop. She has tried. Just as she has tried to be more easygoing, but when push comes to shove, as it always will, she is not easygoing."
My artistic idea:
My idea is to play around with this image and see what I can make out of it considering that it was a powerful poster back then in the 1940's and has had a deep meaning to it even now it is present all over the place.
