Analysis
What Were the Challenges of Writing and Analysis Essay? To begin with I found it very difficult to choose a topic that met the criteria and got approved. I spent a great deal of time trying to find a topic that I'm felt comfortable talking about but at the same time could benefit from any research needed to fill in my gaps of knowledge. Originally I wanted to do something along the lines of a scientific analyses. When scientific topic fell through I turned my attention to writing about an aphorism. I chose a topic that I had some personal connection to. I thought I was off to it a good start basing on personal experience, but the peer-to-peer review revealed I didn't meet the criteria so a major rework was needed.
I went to the writing center to get experienced help assessing my draft. Together we made minor changes that seemed improve the structure of my essay by removing any ambiguous statements. After approximately an hour I left with a strong sense of direction. I reviewed my paper later that day to make my corrections, as has happened many times on the other papers it underwent a complete rework. Although it certainly made the paper stronger it increased the possibility of errors creeping into the writing.
During my editing I found many instances where the term they had crept into the writing as a way of not repeating the proper name of the person performing the action. I grabbed a pen and maliciously crossed off all instances of he, she, they and so forth. That was the easy part, now I have to find a way to rewrite the sentence without continuously repeating the person performing the actions that I was referring to in the previous sentence. I was very concerned about finding justifiable evidence to support my claims and at the same time I didn't want to alter what I was saying to a point where it became plagiarism. That became a very challenging situation each time I wanted to say something but yet prove its merit I had to verify and yet not allow others words to co-mingle with my own.
I had personal examples that I really wanted to use but the structure of the paper made it difficult so I chose to remove them which left a void that needed support. It always seemed to be a fine line between academically correct and technically or literally correct. With each paper that I've written I've learned many things and try to employ them from that point forward. I felt a thesis statement was a little one line that hooked the audience and that led from point-to-point to conclusion. But on the analysis paper I tried to expand my thesis to cover the different topics that would be explained logically in the flow the paragraphs.
In the end I believe I was able to breathe new life into an age old aphorism and draw a solid conclusion by using a solid chronological step-by-step approach. My goal was to give my audience a different viewpoint of something they know so well.
