Taking stock of your writing

1.      What was your main point (thesis)?  “The Moral of the Story”?

My main point was to show that books can change a person, and how this book changed me.

2.      Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them?

My audience was my peers so I wrote for a group of people who could easily understand the situation.

3.      What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not? 

My teacher was helpful and made sure that I was writing properly up to the point of writing the paper. She used in class assignments to help us fill in missing spots in our paper and to help guide how narratives are written. My peers helped me correct my mistakes and they pointed out placer where I could use some work. It was helpful to see where I needed more or less writing and explanation.

4.      What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it?

I found how easily it was to write about myself versus another person, and that I knew myself a lot better than I thought I did.

5.      What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)

I'm unsure my paper flows very well. I think an important part of my paper are the first and last paragraphs. I think that it could use some adjusting to flow and work better together. I also think I could've told more of the story within the paper.
