Talk:Writing with your own blood
New comments in 2013
Lela! I'm sad I missed this presentation...It is so interesting. It is really short though.I would suggest adding more information where it could be added. Also some images of this topic would be really neat to see if you could find some. I've had a hard time finding some photos for my article so I know it can be difficult. Also you have tons of resources and not a lot of information. I would like to hear some narrative on the topic so we can get a different point of view rather than the bullet points.

Dear Lela, please go to your google.docs page, click on "File" and "Save as" and save it as pptx. Then upload your powerpoint presentation and extend the existing article. Now it is still too short. The final version should be 7 pages. You should not only describe things, but also switch to the commentator role (maybe indicated by "Contemporary Commentator" and then evaluate and discuss the topic from different angles, put it into context, criticize etc.). If you want to write less, you can integrate more pictures. Please make sure to indicate your source after each sentence or, if there is a whole paragraph with the same source, after each paragraph. You can indicate it like "Smith 2009:345" and in the final section "References" write the long version "Smith, Jared, Confucius revisted, Yale University Press 2009, 415 pp." In the edit mode, section headers are indicated with "=" and sub section headers with "==". In the edit mode, paragraphs need to be marked with 2 line feeds ("Enter" key). 1 Line feed will not show up as a paragraph. For additional editing tips, including how to indicate sources and how to find copyright free pictures, please refer to [1]. Good luck with your composition!

Maybe some visual examples will give insight to this. Other examples would be nice as well. Its really interesting to see what these individuals would do to prove themselves! --TaraDFroisland (talk) 00:28, 28 February 2013 (CET)
More information would be a great addition. Pictures would be good to see as well, I know that they might be pretty gruesome to search for but it could help a lot. Your presentation had some really amazing stuff about that girl who wrote in her own blood and to see more on her would be great including the video clips you showed in class.

This was one of the most interesting topics. I really enjoyed the presentation. I also think it would be great to add a bit more information and any possible pictures if any. I agree with the comment above about how maybe more could be said about the influence it has had. I did enjoy that story of that young girl. That brought the story to life.--Joshua B.

I see the disclaimer that this is a work in progress, so I hope to see a bit more information added in the future. Fascinating topic! Ignatius J Reilly (talk) 22:45, 1 March 2013 (CET)

In the FILIAL PIETY section, why does cutting off fingers mean devotion? And why must Zhou write in blood? She can just sit and do nothing. --Meh 07:37, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
