Writing into the Day: Reflection on Research Project
I think that researching and putting my ideas together have been the most difficult part of this project so far. It wasn't too difficult to choose a topic to research, however the process of dividing my topic into several points and organizing everything was hard. Once I had a rough idea of the subtopics that I wanted to investigate, I had to find reliable information to support my claims. This proved to be difficult, because many sources online were either from blog pages or cites such as "spark notes". Therefore, I had to carefully sort through all the sites that I was given, and find reliable sources with supporting information.
Once I gathered all my research and created an effective outline, everything else fell into place. I was able to write my essay smoothly, and even found that I wanted to focus more on the realistic/ unrealistic views of Huck and Tom, rather than other aspects. I think that I am most proud of how I was able to organize my points efficiently in order to support my thesis.
Although I am proud of how I was able to effectively organize my essay, I think that I need to review my paper, and make sure that I fully supported all of my claims with rational argumentation.
Overall, this process has influenced me, because it has made me aware of time management. For future papers, I plan to work more avidly during given class time,.
