"Taking Stock of Your Writing"

1.      What was your main point (thesis)?  “The Moral of the Story”?

The thesis was a goal that I set for myself, how I achieved it, and why it was important to me

2.      Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them?

Primarily my audience for entertainment sake was my fellow classmates. For academic sake my

professor is also an audience member, so  I tailored to both the best I could. Using humor

integrated with a strong dilemma that the story/narrative is focused on solving.

3.      What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not?

My classmates were helpful in highlighting the areas that sounded awkward/did not flow things

that I (the writer) often overlooks in their own work.

4.      What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it?

I learned that writing a narrative style is pretty easy for me, my writing style seemed to be in

bursts, a few paragraphs at a time, getting stuck, and continuing.

5.      What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)

I was a bit unclear on how specific our “thesis” was supposed to be, or even where to

implement it, being as this is not an argumentative paper I am not clear as to what my “thesis” is

supposed to be.
