This week I really worked on my paper. I wrote the first few pages and developed my outline and evidence for the rest of the essay. One of the things that I am grappling with right now is how many of the sub-topics I should address. Meaning, there is so much to talk about on this subject, that I need to decide if I will quickly address each major theme, or if I will just focus on a few and not mention the others.
Another big thing that I began working on was dealing with some of my sources. I have a lot of notes from different sources that I need to better organize and allocate to different sections of the paper. I’m looking forward to tying everything together.
