Papertastrophe

I am just going to go ahead and say that I know my writing is terrible. I really do try, but I still feel sorry for anyone who has to read it. So, I do apologize in advance.

Regardless, my paper does have some good qualities. I think I bring up valid points, discussing serious societal issues in today’s world. These issues harm the bonds between parent and child. But, sadly, most of these issues are inevitable. In my essay, I bring to light subjects that most would not have even considered. I support my statements with sufficient, relevant research. “I believe” that my sources are cited well within my paper. Considering how disorganized I was during writing my paper, I consider it a major accomplishment that it all turned out adequately. 

The cons pretty much out-weigh the pros in this paper. Ok, well it’s not that bad, but it’s probably very difficult to read smoothly. I have a lot to say about a lot of subjects, but the way I express these things is extremely sporadic. My technique of taking notes and jotting down ideas during this whole process left me with multiple scraps of paper with a lot of chicken scratch written all over them, two books that I still haven’t returned to the library, and one 2,547-word, intellectual, yet jumbled, research paper. I’m am so happy that this is just a rough draft. As I typed my thoughts down on my paper, it pretty much came out as a bunch of random paragraphs that didn’t really flow into each other. After an hour or two of tweaking, editing, and maybe even a couple of tears, that’s pretty much still what my paper remains. I appreciate the peer editing that we did in class, which got me some good corrections and suggestions, along with some comments that honestly made me wonder what the editor was thinking. I feel like, with some help, I could make an outstanding final draft after knowing how to edit my paper with more correlation between paragraphs, and making everything flow a lot more smoothly. That’s another thing I’m terrible about: I always include too many run-on sentences. I just hope that those extensive sentences don’t cause too much confusion. I’m hoping that my ideas still come across somewhat clearly.

So I am completely aware that my paper lacks a lot of things, but I am just happy I made it through alive, unlike Nemo’s mother. (oh…too soon?) But I still feel that my paper has a lot of potential. So the final should be a lot better.
