The whole process for my research paper was not that strenuous, I think the only challenge was trying to find quotes that coincide with other authors that share the same idea. It was mainly hard because the authors did relate but the way they used their personal language was different and hard to blend or relate to another author. Another issue i ahd was I moved faster than the entire class which is a positive and negative. Its a negative because now I feel confused and as maybe I am missing something or if I could of gone more in depth or made things clearer. But then the positive is maybe I've been ahead I still had time to correct and revise my entire work. Overall I enjoyed writing this long essay and understanding how it is to bring in other articles and authors that share similar interest to issue in the world.

I think to keep it real in academic writing means to basically state everything straight up and in a raw form of not holding back with what you want to say. This probably is better in a poetry form of writing.

Not letting people grow as an education of an individual because that is why peoples knowledge is going back rather than forward. “there was no precision to the language of religion” (8 Villanueva). Being able to decide what religion you practice is important because it is a freedom as an American. Questions:

Being able to have a talent in writing is important because it is a way to express yourself in a way of words that others can understand. "One had to die to be a writer, and I was not prepared to die, even for the glory of seeing my words in print. More important, I believed [only people who lived elsewhere, and who talked‘ about sleet which I could not imagine, and watched daffodils, were writers."(Adias 186). She is saying that being a writer is hard because of the fact that not everyone makes it in the ...
