Homework 2/11/08
By hillarh | February 11, 2008
Although there are many different ways that I start on essays, I would say that I have been practicing the writing process that the authors of From Inquiry to Academic Writing suggest for this essay. The reason that I have been using this process because it is normally how I approach an essay, and also because it seems like the natural, easy way to go. I start off with reading my articles a couple of times and annotating. After I pick them apart I chose a common topic which is found in all three of the articles that I can use as the thesis statement for my essay. My thesis is strong because it deals with a topic that is arguable and not bias. Also, I will be able to use synthesis correctly because it is not only explained in the textbook, but I learned a lot of synthesis through class time and homework, and I can use synthesis to support my main topics. Of course, my essay will have proper MLA format, which is discussed in the textbook, and a correct works cited page. I think that the authors have shown me the correct path to take so that I can approach this essay with confidence.
