week 12. Part 2.

1. The website “The history of 20th Century Fashion” tell us about a brief idea of how the clothing, hair, cosmetics and foot ware looked like. This text gave me an idea of the 20th century fashion industry and helped me begin my webtext. But there is not enough information for me to continue the text. What the author wrote on the website is not specific but in clear categories. So it still helped me to organize my text.


2. 2. The essay “Pants and the Feminist” written by Paula Baxter pointed out that feminism seemed to be out of fashion. I took this as a resource for my text because the author got a very different idea about fashion and feminism. It is somehow against my text. I think it could make my text more objective. However, I need more text to support my idea. Therefore, I just mentioned it a little in my webtext.


3. 3. The journal “Fashion is New Form of Expression for Feminists” is the opposite of “Pants and the Feminist”. It talked about how fashion was used by feminists to make political statement. It is a good support to my idea. It also talked about how fashion helped feminism in the history. It can be used in every category of my webtext.


4. I prefer to find my resources in the library because they are more reliable. But the resources are quite limited too. The internet has the resources from all over the world. It’s a lot easier to find a useful piece of information. I will try to find my resource in the library first and then look up on line.

Shadow, your text had evolved and improved a great deal since the beginning of the semester. This is mostly because of you, and partly because of the research you've found to support your text.

Nice work!
