Reflections from Paper 1 to Paper 2

I tried to explain (whether I was successful or not) my thesis.  I tried to explain more “why” questions, and focus more on the purpose of my paper rather than just writing about a topic.

Where were you as a writer at paper 1?

I was a lot more confused about how to write the paper.  I kind of just jumped on the paper, and just tried to make it flow as well as I could (even though it really didn’t).

Where are you now at paper 2?

I have a little more direction, but I still find the topics of our papers to be very difficult to write about.  I am not good at connecting two different topics together.  I still feel a little lost, but I feel like I understand a bit better than the first paper.

What has gotten you here?

My teacher

How and why?

I couldn’t have done it without the teacher-student conference.  I was having a really hard time thinking of how to word and structure my paper.  Learning that it’s better to paraphrase rather than quote helped, as well.
