Taking Stock of my writing

1.      What was your main point (thesis)?  “The Moral of the Story”?

-the main point of my story was to show the audience a time in my life that i resorted to writing to help me get through a stressful situation and how i still use it today. 

2.      Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them?

-my audience was anybody. i assumed they new nothing about me, but i assumed they had all gone through some sort of stressful situation where their mind did not let them get ahead of itself. I told them what my situation was, how I felt, how i overcame it, and how it helped me.

3.      What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not?

- I got a lot of feedback saying that the way I explained my point of view was easily understood and that my small details that were included made my narrative have a better "flow". They liked the way it came together 

4.      What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it?

- I found that this was actually a harder project then i thought. Adding enough details while still keeping on the main track of my narrative proved to be a challenge but i think it came together well. 

5.      What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)
- I wasn't sure about the last few paragraphs describing the actual process of when i started writing and wasn't sure if i could add more without taking out a whole section of the essay and replacing it somewhere else. The ending is also quite abrupt in that i probably could have written a better sentence then "Definitely a positive experience".
