1) My writing process for project two was different from project one in many ways. First, project two required a lot more research, this contributed to my creation of an annotated bibliography. Project two also made me be more organized when setting up my paper. I feel like this time my writing process was a lot easier for me and therefore made my paper stronger.
2) The creation of the first draft from my annotated bibliography I feel benefited my paper the most. This was because it made it really easy for me to format my paper and organize it in the more effective way. It was basically an outline for the rest of my paper.
3)I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was passionate about my topic. This made it easy for me to find research and even give my own opinion within my paper. This paper was very easy to create because I had prior knowledge and was inspired to find more information. It was enjoyable for me to write.

I enjoyed project 2 the most because I was required to conduct research on my topic, which allowed me to expand my knowledge towards an argument that is personal to me and it made me sound even more credible when discussing this argument face to face with someone.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...
