While working on Essay 1, I came to understand just how important it is to be specific and clear in my analysis. The feedback I got pointed out that some of my wording was a bit vague, which made me think about how I express my ideas. One major lesson was the need to accurately represent my sources and really grasp the material I’m analyzing. For example, I accidentally attributed quotes to the wrong source, which taught me to be more diligent in cross-referencing my citations. I also realized that making statements without solid support weakens the overall argument. This experience will definitely influence how I tackle future writing assignments, encouraging me to plan more thoroughly, double-check my sources, and ensure my thesis is clearly linked to the rest of the essay. I’ll specifically focus on structuring my paragraphs for a smooth flow and making sure every point I make ties back to my main argument.

Tran, what you offer here sounds like a good plan going forward. Sometimes we skim over readings instead of really paying attention to what is being said. It’s a good lesson to learn not only for this class but for all your courses.
