I find it hard to quit revising a paper. There is always something to be done to make it better. I added a lot of things to my paper to make it a "final" copy. I was happy with how well I tied my tone, audience and quotes all together. We were suppose to write a letter to someone of our choice about an article on Wikipedia of our choice. We were also suppose to talk about Wikipedia in general and how accountable it is. I felt that my tone was strong and related well with how terrible the article I chose was. Which led to me also believing that Wikipedia in general is not a good source to go to.
I addressed my audience effectively throughout the entire letter. I felt that it never lost its sense of being a letter rather than an essay. I made sure to keep mentioning small hints that it was directed towards who i wanted it directed to. It was hard at first to keep it going as a letter while you are quoting specific things in the text but in the end I feel I did a good job keeping to the tone and audience.
I feel as though I deserve at least a B+. I worked really hard on improving my paper from first draft to the final. Hopefully I will receive an A on this assignment because I feel really good about it.
It's always a good feeling to know you worked hard on something. It also feels even better to get your deserved reward for the work, so I hope you get your A. I can relate to how you can always revise your paper more. I feel the same way with all the papers I write, I never really know where to stop because I can always add more.
ReplyDeletei agree with Eddie. it feels great when you know you worked hard on an assignment and get the grade you deserve. you talked about how accountable wikipedia is. Wikipedia is a great source of a lot of information, but i discovered recently that anyone can get onto wiki and change that information. this makes it a little less credible because you never really know if the people writing the articles are telling the 100% truth or if they're simply bending it a little.
