For paper number three it was a process I haven’t gone through in a while. Having a research question for a literary paper, and comparing two texts wasn’t something new for me. In the beginning, I was moving a little slow with things, just trying to get back into the groove of writing a paper like this. Compared to working on the other papers this process was a lot longer. Having to think of a thesis to support not only one but two texts was a little difficult. Adding on to that, having to find evidence and analysis for each quote/ text was also time-consuming. This came with one of my biggest obstacles which was having to sum up the scene that I wanted to write about instead of having a direct quote like I did for the short story I had used. One thing that went smoothly in the process of writing this paper was comparing the ideas that I had for each text. Though getting to these ideas took some time, once it came down to me going deep into them It felt easy for me and quite enjoyable. Things also started to go more smoothly after my partner had given me some feedback on my first draft. When writing my first draft I felt lost and a little unorganized. When I read her comments it gave me a good sense of where to go with my paper and led me in the right direction. Overall even with the obstacles and slow movement at the beginning of this paper, in the end, I enjoyed putting it all together and think I wrote a good essay.
