Second Paper

Alright, this paper was a lot better than the last. Not that the last was really bad or anything, I just felt more confidant about my writing this time. So I chose prompt 4 and wrote about texting and its negatives. I actually had pretty good evidence; I had personal experiences, real-life issues, and took something from the article by Kuttner. The only problem I did have was meeting the word count. Interestingly enough, I thought it would be no problem to write 1500 words since I did have so much to talk about. But when I got it all down on paper, I realized that I was still like 250 words short! I figured my group from the draft workshop would help me add a few things; luckily, they did. Kevin and Jeanelle gave me the idea of including something on the LA train wreck. It really strenghtened my paper and enhanced my arguments. I was really excited though when they said that I had a pretty good paper overall. It boosted my confidence, but I don't want to get too big headed, so I'm shootin' for a B+ or above :]
