While working on the project, I learned many skills that will help me throughout the year. First off, I got a better understanding of the revising and drafts it takes to have very good final draft that you are proud of. If you only get feedback from your teacher, you most likely will not be as good off as if you also got peer feedback. Peer feedback gives you different standpoints from different people. By doing this, it will make you not only look at your work from your standpoint, but from others standpoints as well. From this project, I learned how to take feedback, and turn it into content to help me with future drafts. If I did this project over again, I would have asked more than one person for feedback on my work.

     During this project, I also learned how to analyze information. In the book, there were many vital pieces of information that would help the reader see the importance of the main characters journey. Finding and understanding all of the information would help the reader understand the books purpose and connect to the reader better. The project forced me to look over the whole book again and see if I had a perfect understanding of the story and plot. I was proud of myself after looking trough the book and understanding all of it. If I could do it over though, I would have made notes and annotations to make it easier to remember the book.

     Finally, I learned collaboration. Not only with my partner in the beginning of the project, but others throughout the project as well.  Learning how to take criticism was one of the most useful skills I learned throughout the project. Being able to take people's
Opinions and use them in your work is a very good skill to have. It makes your work more appealing to people with other interests, and uses the ideas of others, in almost a collaboration, and makes your work twice as good. I was proud of how people were very open about what they thought of my work, and in turn, I told them what I thought of there work. The only thing I could've done different was to ask more people what they thought about my work.
