Reading Times:
150 mins- Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
20 mins- I looked over my thesis detailed outline and began thinking of my final paper.

Informal- I've decided to focus on Gandhi as my research topic because I hear many great things about him. I've found many good sources that are reliable and help me to gather more information to better my research paper and thesis. He took on many responsibilities and led non-violence protests in order to gain India's Independence. I've learned a lot about what Gandhi has done in relation to our world and I would really like to keep learning about him further from my thesis paper research.

Formal- I became interested in the broad topic, Gandhi, from overhearing my Mother, seeing his quotes and insights, and remembrance of him. I began to notice a pattern in his movements towards Independence of India. He encouraged the way of passive resistance protesting, which eliminated violence. His practice led me to further look into his movements through non-violence and how it helped to achieve his goal for the Independence of India. Mahatma Gandhi took on responsibilities that led to freedom of all people, the Independence of India, and was in charge of many civil movements and protesting to reach these results that has made him memorable to the world today.
