reflection for writing center

     In this semester, I went to the writing center for help on my revision post for this portfolio blog. My main focus was on a stronger conclusion and thesis statement and to make sure that my points I stated came across the way I intended for them to. For my conclusion, I reworded a few of my statements to make sure it wasn't repetitive and I tried to incorporate a statement at the end to both tie into my main ideas in my paper an leave the reader thinking with a new perspective. Since my revision is on my literary analysis, I attempted to leave the reader with a new concept about the novel. Next, I revised my thesis statement. I felt that my thesis didn't have a clear position on the subject and didn't incorporate a literary element. To fix this, the writing fellow suggested that I should reread my essay and try to find the major points. After doing this, I found it a lot easier to fix my thesis.
     I feel like all of these things helped to move this piece forward because the writing fellow really helped me to specify my ideas. This helps for the reader to read the paper easier, and to really get the message that I was trying to convey. All of these improvements helped my piece of writing to overall become a better paper. I think that with all the help and advice from the writing center, my revised essay contains clear and strong points and ideas that allow the reader to learn something new about the subject.
