CM 1145- Research Essay 2
So, last time I said that the semester was coming to a close so quickly, and now i'm even more sure of that. The research paper is really weighing heavilly on my mind. I am about to search the internet for sources right snow. Gathering sources is probably the most stressful part of any researching assignment, I feel that it takes longer to extract all the information you need out of the sources and compile it, and then using it in an effective way. All of that usually takes me longer than actually writing the essay. On the bright side, the essay is only 1500 words, only double of what the last essay was so it dosewn't feel that long to me. I'm more worried now about being able to write a good essay on time, and being able to structure it properly. I know that I will have my intro and thesis, a paragraph about appearence of the monument I chose, the history behind the monument, and a conclusion. Can you tell whats missing there? A third body paragraph idea, I can't come up with an idea so if anyone from class actually reads this, maybe you could make a suggestion. This is definately going to be a stressful experience.

I have to agree with you. Gathering all your sources, extracting useful information from them and then using it in a useful way is the worst part of writing a research paper. Writing the paper only takes about half the time. I really hate having to jump from source to source in order to make a strong paragpaph because that one amazing source that your hoping to find, with all of the information you need in it is just never there. If your still looking for something else to include in your paper maybe you could write a parahraph on how you feel about the monument and whether you like or dislike it?
