Research+Paper

As the most prominent work of writing that we created throughout the year, the research paper was very taxing but has taught me so much about my strengths and weaknesses in my writing. The book I chose, A Separate Peace, was the perfect length with a solid plot which made it very enjoyable. I’ve never actually enjoyed reading, but it was rewarding to find a book that actually captured my attention. Because the book was enjoyable for me, I found it easy and quite frankly, fun to analyze the author’s strategies throughout the book. By spending the time to throughly learn about the process of writing a research paper, I was most impressed with my ability to grasp the concept of a universal idea. Going back and reading my paper, I’m really proud of the way I connected all of the research together and was able to analyze the title of the novel and how it related to the book. Although the experience of writing a research paper was long and tedious, it also taught me the proper way to write and research because in the future, these skills will carry me far.
