Assignment #1

The text that I had was an account of the life of Anna Rosina Anderson. She was born in 1727 on August 9th. She was a very religious person, who oftentimes used faith to justify the things that happened to her. She lost her father at the age of 7 and since then she’s moved around a lot. The process of creating the digital text was not the easiest task to do because it was written in a different time period. It was from the 18th century therefore resulting in it being almost a different language. Also the fact that it written out instead of typed was another problem that I had to face because at some points the handwriting was illegible, taking away from my understanding of the story. I also encountered the problem of the fact that she referenced places in Germany and in England that I wasn’t familiar with. That with the fact that it was written made it hard for me to be able to make out the places that she was talking about. Other than that, there were not any problems that prohibited me from understanding the text. I was not that connected to the documents in the beginning because I was too focused on just trying to understand the handwriting. However I started to appreciate the document when it all came together in the end. I was able to give a thorough read to understand the story as a whole instead of understanding one sentence, then forgetting what it said because I was already onto the next sentence.
