Learned


Over the last few weeks I have been working on a research paper for my English 103, the subject I had pick was Iranian Revolution. I have planned to use two specific books but when I went looking for the books at a store they were only online. It was a little last minute for me to change my paper, so I have a lot of work to redo and find different articles on the person. The peep editing one person told me my paper was like a history paper and the only other person to grade it said it was good but had a lot of grammar errors. So it’s due in two days and I don’t know what way to do.

I have learned at lot from this research paper, one I learn about the history of Iran’s religion. Two I have learn that there was split in the religion and why it happened. Three why Iran’s hate American and what they mean about the western influence on their culture. Four what happen to create harsh laws in Iran. As for my writing, I hope that I have got the MLA format correct finally. I think I have learned what the importance of rereading my essays. Always about not only trying to uses book when doing my papers, it’s okay to get article off the web, I am hoping to do this for my final draft. I also feel that I have learned what strong quotes are. I think my research paper have a really good block quote that help it stand out.

 In my essay I working on making sure I have all of the following in it: What is “X”?  This is an argument that makes some kind of claim. What is the value of “X”? This question evaluates or assesses a topic and then convinces the reader that the assessment you made is reasonable. What are the causes (or consequences) of “X”? What should (or ought or must) be done about “X”? Those are the question my teacher what answer in the essay, I will be using those question again in an essay. I think that those questions are great for working on an essay.  Right now I think my essay force more on fact and I want it to force more on the effects it had.

I have known how to write a research paper but for English research papers are very different. I hope that my research paper in the end is an English research paper and not like a history research paper. I working on it all weekend, I hope to find some really good article that talk about the effects of the Iranian Revolution on the Iran’s public. In the end I hope to get a lot of good work done this weekend. I have been reading a lot about how English research paper should be from a different website, so I hope I get a good grade on this essay.
