Love Your Melon is an organization near and dear to my heart, and I am glad I was able to make it relevant in another part of life (academically). Also, thank you for the great feedback…I made a few small changes here and there that I think will enhance the presentation as a whole.Here is my presentation on prezi and below is my work cited info. Thank you so much for an amazing semester; I loved the class! Hope you like it!
Sincerely,
Danielle Espinoza

Plagues, Epidemics, and Outbreaks 
What a lovely way to work your passions into your, well, *work* for class. You’re using Prezi to its advantage, I think, when sometimes the format can be misused or just chosen because it’s a more interesting version of PowerPoint. But the form aligns with the granularity of the content, and you’re using the spatial design thoughtfully (e.g., the hidden “am I going to die?” frame). In further connecting social and philanthropic efforts to support the emotional well-being of cancer patients with the private experience of cancer, the project might argue for the importance of making public a disease that, as Sontag writes, traditionally is viewed through the lens of repression: that the cancer patient represses the self, and that knowledge of the disease and the experience of the disease is repressed or withheld, either by the patient or by healthcare providers. Of course, going this route would make the project slightly more “academic” in tone, which may not be what you’re going for, but it would contextualize your ideas within the history of thinking about cancer in the 20th century.
