Reflection |
Since the assignment was first given, i was already excited to get started on writing about a controversial political topic. Before even beginning my research, I already somewhat knew how I felt about the theme given and the stance I wanted to take. However, I did run into some problems when I began to start putting my ideas to paper. The assignment asked for the use of at least three credible sources, but when I started searching for sources to support my claim, I could not find very many. This essay was different than others in the past to where I could just do a quick Google search and find all the information I needed. Doing research for the sources had been a long and tedious process, but after trying out different key-words, I ended up finding what I was looking for. It definitely gave an improvement to my skill of doing my research.
If I had a chance to do this piece over again, I would like to try to improve upon my word choice. Over my sophomore year my vocabulary has definitely grown and become more advanced and I wish I was able to go back and improve some of that into my previous writings. I also wish I made the essay longer than four pages. The assignment was only to write three pages so I wanted to stay around the limit, but I had so much more to say on the topic and so many more sources I could have used to make my point stronger. Overall, this piece is one of my favorites I have written during my sophomore year because of all the hard work I put into it and how passionate I was about the theme. |
