1. My writing process for project 2 was of course, a lot more analytical. It was a lot like writing a DBQ. I had to look at the sources I collected and found a way to group them in a way that was most beneficial to my paper. In project one I simply watched two movies and it was more of a compare and contrast fathering than arguing something like I did in project 2. Unlike project 1, I found it easier to find the “so what” factor in project too because it was pretty much given.
2. Draft 1 helped me the most, especially with project two because I got my criticism right away. This way, it was easier for me to organize my paper because I was given the idea to use subtitles. Where it would normally take me a whole day to finish my paper, I finished my final draft in a few hours and did not need a second draft. I feel as help with my first draft was very beneficial.
3. I actually enjoyed project 2 the most because it was something I found interesting and was passionate about, trophy hunting. Yes, it was more difficult to write in having so many sources however, because I had all of these sources I didn’t find myself feeling as if I did not have enough information to put into my paper.

    I agree that it was more difficult to write a paper with so many sources although it did help in the long run when needing examples or new information to support a point.

    I agree that writing only one draft can be a lot easier when it comes to writing the final draft. I also found project two to be the most interesting to write about.

My writing process for project 2 was different from project 1 because I had to conduct research towards my argumentative topic. I also was required to use the Florida State university database in order to find peer-reviewed article that would provide me with correct information. This essay also had several sources whom mad me sound more credible towards my audience, which enabled me to write more about my topic. The personally think that writing a first draft and then revising it in order for it to be my final draft to be very helpful when writing a research essay. I was able to carefully go over any grammatical or punctuation errors as well as make sure that all my sentences made sense and were not random. 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...

1. The writing process was different in the sense that project two was a research paper and required background information that I could not provide myself. It required sources in which I got my information and a bibliography of where I got the sources and information from. Project 1 was mostly opinion based. 2. It thought that it was helpful to get the first draft done first because then I have most of my paper done so I can just edit and add little things when it was time to submit the final project. 3. I enjoyed project two more because I talked about my passion and things that I like to do and things that concern me personally (fishing and ocean stuff).
