Challenging Project from First-Year Writing

Limstrom, Anders – NT EssayThis page will house a paper or project (from one of your first-year writing courses) that you found challenging.

This piece is an analysis of authority, capital punishment, and the morality thereof.

Further, in this space, you will answer the following reflective question:

  • Rewriting a piece is quite difficult when you have no idea what needs to be revised in your paper. In the previous paper, there was a clear divide between the extraneous material and the pertinent material, but in this piece, I thought that it was all coherent. In the end, I ended up having to delete 2 and a half pages worth of material and tack on another half page to the closing paragraph. Revising, the process of delving into my own thoughts as put on paper and reorganizing them into a more coherent whole, is challenging because in doing so I concede that I am flawed; a very tough thing to do.
