Writing Center

    I think in the future, I will work with writing center for other papers as well as to continue working on this one. They definitely helped a lot, and I was able to see a difference in my paper. I think I will go to them for this conclusion paragraph, so I can get more edits on this paper. Overall, I think the writing center helped me a lot with this paper, and helped make it better.

          I think that the writing center visit went well for me. They helped improve my paper a great amount. The writing center helped me pick out errors in the paper, and helped to make it flow better. The writing center and I worked on general revisions of the paper. These general revisions included grammar errors, punctuation, and the flow of the paper. The paper’s technical errors is always where I lose points, and it’s not a strong suit of mine. I forget to do it, or put punctuation in the wrong places. So Ms. Swift helped me with this aspect and showed me where some of the errors were. By showing me where some technical errors were I was able to go through my paper again and see places that needed to be fixed. This is a major percentage in the grade of this paper, so it helped that they guided me in fixing this.

    Also, we worked on furthering the analysis in certain spots throughout my paper. Before going to the writing center, my essay was lacking essential details explaining my analysis. The writing center helped to think through these parts, and guided me in the process of understanding what to add. Especially for the last scene/paragraph. I was stuck, because I didn’t know exactly what to say in that paragraph, because I didn’t know where to take it. Ms. Swift helped me come with ideas, and then as we brainstormed I was able to write more about it and conclude my paragraph. They helped my essay become stronger by adding these details.

     In order to strengthen the draft of the paper I just submitted, I think I need to work on my beginning and ending sentences in the paragraphs. It was hard for me to do this for every paragraph. After a while I started to get the hang of it and was able to make them better, however, I still think some of them need work. I think by fixing those, it will make the paragraphs in the paper flow together more, and it will be able to transition from one to the next. Some of the paragraphs do that right now, but some of them are just jumping from one part to the next. Also, to strengthen this draft, I wanted to work on the conclusion a little more. I didn’t know exactly what to say for it, and I covered everything said in class. But, I think it needs some work, so it can tie the paper all together, and make the paper come to a more solid conclusion.
