Looking back on my commonplace book entries throughout the semester, I’ve been able to take some main points.

  • Regarding the overall themes of my entries, I found that I don’t have a set theme that extends throughout all of my entries. I tend to have a theme for each separate book, such as feminist themes in Jane Eyre or sexuality in Dorian Gray.
  • I think my favorite entries to write did regard themes of sexuality and feminism, but I also think that a lot of my entries were separated from my QCQ’s.
  • My QCQ’s focused a lot on craft techniques whereas my commonplace journals focused on how ideas such as feminism were viewed in the Victorian era.
  • As for my final reflection essay, I think I’ll focus on the second option regarding how my commonplace entries reflect me and my values.
