Camargo Reflection When it comes to reflecting on my individual report, I think I have one of the more challenging discourse communities overall in regards to how it relates to literacy. The process I took for this project involved a lot of reading and being in the library. Since Physics is a subject that is based primarily around math, I used the process of finding informational articles on my laptop based on certain equations Ive learned in class. Athough the literacy memoir focused on how I am a mathematical and logical person, this report tended to be much more difficult for me. When comparing the two, I like my literacy memoir more, because it is much more personal and I feel like more people can relate directly to it than this report. I also think that this report was much more challenging than the other because it required information that often isnt explained using words. Since Physics is basically all math work, it was tough for me to try and take equations and explain them in a format that relates to everyone. One article that really stood out to me was the article regarding the God Particle. Although it is probably a concept that will confuse most people, it still fascinated me to see people in my field doing such amazing work. Not only did it allow me to see what Physicists around the world do in their job, but it also influenced me to maybe one day be just as smart as them. Finally I think that this report couldve been better if I was better at being able to explain how Physics works in the field. Although I see it everyday and I know how the community operates, it is still challenging for me to explain it in a way that makes sense

without confusing the reader. I think this is largely due to myself being a much more logical and mathematically inclined thinker.
