Journal 13
The revision process for paper two took quite a look of work. There were so many things that I needed to tend to in order to make this paper work. For this paper I encountered a lot more problems than I ever did in the first paper. There was just a lot of information and I didn’t know how to handle it all. Trying to relate one piece to another for multiple pieces is a little tedious. Trying to find those right quotes that match each other that I could somehow relate took some patience. I feel like it was easy to lose track of what my thesis actually was. I definitely know I could’ve related more to my thesis throughout the whole essay, I think I may have lacked on that a little bit. One of the main things I had a lot of trouble with while writing this essay was the amount of words I had. I just had an abundance of words that I felt made the paper, making it difficult to get rid of some of them. I found myself struggling with trying to illuminate most of the words and trying to piece it all together to make sense (without it seeming like information was missing). I felt like I just had way too much information but I felt like I needed it all in order to support my thesis. So I was just really hard to see what needed to be taken out. Another problem I ran across was the organization of the essay. I felt that it was sort of all over the place when I first started. The flow of it didn’t really make sense. However after I finished my third draft I was finally able to start piecing it all together. Overall I think I put a lot of effort into this and I believe I did the best that I possibly could. I spent a lot of time working on this and I think it turned out pretty well I’m sure there’s a couple things I could’ve used more work, but overall my best efforts were put into this.
