Life of David Zirk

Week 14 David Zirk

Dear Reader,

In planning my revision for the Revision and Revision 2, I primarily wanted to work on the two pieces that I felt like I could still grow as a writer. In this sense, I want to revise my narrative piece and my research piece. The reason I chose these two pieces is because both of these genres were new to me prior to this class. I have written many analytical essays in the past, and though I believe that good writing is filled with revision, I would rather continue growing as a writer within new genres. In my narrative, I wanted to add more details. As a narrative, I believe my piece should have been more introspective. I also think I could have portrayed my writing more as a story rather than an argumentative essay. As for my research paper, I think that I could always build and strengthen my argument. I think that research can always be updated and revised. For my paper, I want to focus more on primary pieces and add more personal experiences with plagiarism into my writing. In a way, I was wondering if conducting an interview and then using the data from that interview would be useful. This way, I would be conducting my own research and adding that to the research that I have already found. Also, I think strong arguments display counter arguments and then combat them. I might think of adding a counter argument section and working on that and still linking it back to my thesis.
