After meeting with Professor Kaufman on Thursday, I realized that I needed to change almost the whole essay. I thought I had a thesis statement in my paper #3, but, As usual, I did not have it. Fortunately, I was able to formulate my thesis statement with Professor Kaufman. I am relieved that I am heading to the right direction now. If I do not have a thesis, the paper will be just the combination of paragraphs of random ideas. That was what happened to my first draft. When I wrote the first draft, I was totally lost because I did not have a ‘thesis’ and I wrote down some of my paragraphs that were not needed.
As I have a thesis statement, I know what I am going to do and I find some of my ideas are not very useful and related to my paper. Therefore, I take out the paragraphs that are not necessary to include and I am going to add some more information that are related to my thesis statement. Right now, I am in the process of writing it. It will take a long time to finish my paper, so I decided to write this blog before it is late. So far, I do not have any question or problem.
