Writing Center

The writing center was a wonderful resource for me to take advantage of. My first essay grade was not as great as I expected it to be, so for the second essay I went to the writing center again. This time, I went in without starting anything; I wanted a blank tray to be filled up with ideas and all the help I could get. The tutor and I immediately started to throw ideas on the plate and I became so excited to start the essay because I had so many ideas that could be linked together to make a sensible essay that tied in with the stories. We first added the pretty, fancy details of the meal, the essay. She helped me incorporate the sonnet in the essay by comparing the speaker to Viola and she helped me by giving me a lot of information, enough to write a paper. There were so many quotes and a lot of evidence from the two sources to add to the display that when I finally had to get to the meat of the story, the thesis statement, it was well prepared and fit snugly on top of the plate on top of all of the fancy, pretty details. I highly recommend going to the writing center, maybe even before you write the paper you need to write. Then, go after with your finished product and revise. A blank plate can be easily filled when you do not know what you want to prepare. The first step is to get all of the details in, and then work on the display of the essay. My tutor helped me create a great meal, we took it a step at a time.
