This is my reflection for my Research paper on how America could improve its prisons. In this paper you will find reflection on various topics and information about my process writing the paper and my process later revising it.
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? -I honestly did not work with anyone on my research paper but did get some help on a sub topic with my Public Speaking teacher because I am doing a speech on a similar topic. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? -In the paper I used modes of description, exposition and argumentation. I used description when I described certain parts of prison environments and developing locations like Bastoy and Gorgona prison. I used exposition when explaining statistics, providing base information about prisons and informing the audience with information from my numerous sources. I used argumentation throughout the essay when persuading my audience on the concepts presented in the essay. Argumentation was also key when needing to present my emotion and passion in an essay that would be somewhat boring without persuasive emotion. When did you write this project? Good approach? -I wrote it over three days in the span of a week. Numerous times throughout I had to add new sources and develop ideas. Due to this rush and inconsistency in concepts the essay may seem somewhat disjointed but overall I think it was a good approach because if I had stopped and then returned a bunch of times I would have felt even more disjointed and lost in my writing. Where did you write this project? Good approach? -I wrote this at home and in numerous cafes around Exton and Downingtown. Good approach although I wish I could do even more writing outside of home and in less busy hours. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? -I cant quite relate to it much but I am passionate about how people feel toward others and how that impacts them in their own lives. Therefor I think it was a good topic for me because I feel criminals in America are treated harshly and with little forgiveness. I also thought it to be one of the mos emotional and powerful topics in the movie "Where to invade next". How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? -I felt great while writing this. I felt emotionally invested and am a little disappointed with my organization of certain topics. How will you revise your argument? -I will probably work on the organization alot in my second draft. My essay is sloppy and certain parts need more context and less emotion.
