This semester, I went to the Writing Center for the portfolio project. I met with a writing fellow who helped a great deal in revising the literary analysis. We started with pulling out my paper for him to read. He then asked for the teacher’s comments on the piece, and he decided that we would focus on quotations and the conclusion, which were the two major issues with the piece. The quotations were improperly embedded, so he explained to me how to make the quotations flow smoother with the paper. He then read the paper’s introduction and conclusion, showing me how the conclusion did not tie the paper’s main focus together. He showed me various techniques to improve this conclusion, so I went with the approach of rewriting the conclusion with a new focus in mind. I took this advice home with me, immensely improving the piece of writing.
