essay #2 reflection

Essay #2 starter out harder than our first essay because we had to research all the information ourselves rather than have it handed to us in multiple documents. Once I found some valuable information it was easier to get started writing because I had some foundation to build off of. For this particular essay the outline was the hardest part for me. For some reason the outline for essay #1 seemed a lot easier. Once I had an outline it was pretty much easy sailing for me. Rough drafts came easily once I had a solid outline. Editing was pretty easy because I got some good advice from other people. Also, this time around I had both Craig and Ben look at it rather than just Craig like last time. With their advice and the tips from my classmates, I was able to complete this essay and feel good about the final product. Once it was turned in, I was extremely relieved because with essay #2 we didn't have nearly as much time to complete it as essay #1. But I think the smaller amount of time inspired me to work harder to get everything done, therefore making my essay better in content and quality. I definitely feel that I have improved since my last essay in more ways than one.
