1) a) I learned that Simon Wiesenthal was relentless in everything that he did. He searched for over 7 years trying to find Adolf Eichmann, and he finally did. Also after he was freed from the concentration camps, he worked furiously to try get a job as an enforcer of justice. And lastly he worked hard to build his agency, which locates Nazi war criminals, the strongest it could be.
b) I learned that thoroughly reading your sources just one time is not enough. One must read them several times to find all the needed information. I also had to learn to take things that I found and prove them through other sources.
2) In some ways it helped me because I became a better writer and it made me better at finding reliable sources and using MLA format. However, I did my research paper mostly on the life of Simon Wiesenthal, so I was not forced to do too much analysis, like we do in class.
Your work on this project really does not have much to do with literature, but I did okay the project, so I cannot complain. Wiesenthal is certainly an interesting person; I wonder how he felt at the end about having dedicated so much of the remainder of his life to what some might view as nothing short of revenge. Your paper is reasonable. You can take a look at the notes that I have written on it. We will talk about a final short revision.
