Research Log Entry 5 

The end is finally here! 

I dreaded this project very much throughout the quarter; I could not visually see myself at an end with this paper, let alone submitting a final draft.

My very first interest in this novel goes way back to fall quarter when Professor Alexander covered his unit on science-fiction, and briefly made mention of Afrofuturistic novels. The Deep by Rivers Solomon was one of his many recommended titles in his lectures, and it resonated deeply with me. Although I am not from Black descent, I do come from a Mexican family who has struggled making their way to this country in hopes for what is long known as the American Dream. The concept of Afrofuturism sounded so hopeful and imaginative---just the simple thought of being able to imagine your own people being able to thrive and live in a community that is elsewhere from modern day---a place that is empowering and seperate from racial division and social dispartities. 

Thus, I end my archive with the final draft of my paper:
