In my year here at Episcopal, I have done three papers. The first was a literacy narrative, second a literary analysis, and the third a research paper. The literacy narrative was the first of these three. The traits I would need to focus on in this paper were mostly grammar and syntax, with it being overall a good paper. Specifically, I had comma errors on the second page, which took away from my paper's tone.My second paper was a literary analysis, and the mistakes in this paper were more in on formatting and focusing on the necessary credentials in the rubric. A specific example is in the third paragraph in sentence rather disconnected from the main idea of my paper.
The third paper was a research paper and the traits that I would need to focus on are citation and syntax. An example of these can be found in page five where mention inconsistency's in Poole's argument to further my point on Hawking's effect on the Christian community. I currently feel the best paper for me to revise is the research paper. This because my own personal feeling for the paper as the only paper I like more than it is my literacy narrative. I feel that it can help me avoid future issues in citing sources and allow me to grow further as a writer. Also the syntax issues can help me filter my thoughts as I write more extensively, to avoid confusion in readers."A point can only be made if it is clearly thought, written, and spoken." I don't know who made that quote but I hope to learn its origin in the future.
While I think your research paper is a strong choice for revision, I don't think your focus is appropriate. First, you have already completed a revision focusing on proper citation, right? While my comments may have pointed out a couple of minor issues with syntax, this focus ignores the major issue we have been discussing with this paper from the beginning: making it a research-based analytical paper about Hawking's impact rather than a biography. That project would suggest a focus on ideas and organization. Please see your summary comments.
