Here you will find seven applications of seven different theories that were covered throughout the semester. While reading literature and understanding what theories it can be connected to, it is entirely different to be able apply these theories to the pieces and be able to form original writing based on it. In writing these small essays to apply theories to works that we studied, I was able to look at works differently and better understand the work and the author behind it. Additionally, it has also made me a better write. Writing, just like all activities, improves with practice. These small, weekly essays encouraged me to constantly write and work to better my writing as I go along.
