Throughout my three essays you can see that I have no issue pulling out quotes and making them work in my favor to help develop a piece that persuades the reader to take my side. However, in my second essay especially I still struggle to put the naysayer in my piece in a Barclays formula that benefits my writing. I realize I can stack the quote’s and work them like facts, but I need to work on putting both sides of the argument within the paragraph to help me better develop my claim. As seen in HW #6, I can understand how the authors within other articles use both sides to help benefit their writing, I just need to work on my structure within my writing and do the same. Also shown in HW #8 I have been able to summarize quotes and paraphrase in a way that helps my readers better understand where I am coming from and how I am articulating this piece of writing by someone else.
