Thlog #6

Week 6 of winter quarter 2016.  Onto to bigger and brighter things (WP2).  So this week we talked a lot about different writing styles and techniques.  I liked the activity we did in class about parallelism.  I remember learning about this in all my prior writing classes but it is much more fun learning them when we can incorporate different activities to learn them with.  With having upon us, I have been trying to think of a topic that would be interesting and cool for me to write about.  It is really hard to decide on a topic because I want it to be something I really enjoy.  That way I will have a much easier and better time writing it because I can truly enjoy the research because it will be cool to learn more about a topic that does indeed interest me.  I am hoping to do better on WP2 because I wasn’t very happy how the first writing project went.  I really need to focus on coming up with a thesis that tells the reader what the paper is going to be on.  Last time, my thesis was good but my paper didn’t exactly follow what the thesis had said.  Therefore, I need to have a more cohesive statement and support for the claims my thesis makes.  I am hoping that with the topic that I do end up choosing, I will truly be able to make a bold argument that reflects my pieces writing and be able to analyze and compare them all.  That being said, I want to be able to enjoy this paper and what writing we have to come.  I struggle with writing that doesn’t interest me so hopefully I can really put my own flavor and mind into this and the future writings to come.
