Introduction of Critical Analysis Piece

I had a really tough time deciding on one assignment for the Critical Analysis piece so, I chose two. My last blog in which we had to reflect on our service learning experience as of May 19, 2009 is an example of my personal growth through my service learning experience. Having to admit my discomfort around the elderly is almost embarassing, and required me to critically think about how my time at Sunrise impacted me on a personal level. The other piece for my critical analysis is the summarizing of Bruce Catton's,"Grant and Lee: A Study in Contrasts"(1956). This assignment was written April 15, 2009, and was very difficult for me. I spent what seemed like hours picking this essay apart and analyzing it so, in my summary I effectively described each General accurately and clearly. Although the blog was easier to write than the summary, I feel they both adequately fulfill my ability to think critically and write analytically.
