My writing thoughts on my problem solution paper was that it generally took a while, but I am pleased with the end result. I did not like the project itself though. It was time consuming and took work but in the end I guess it provided a presentable statement for further use in discussing the product or subject that was discussed in the paper itself.

In the next writing that I do in English, I will make sure to really plan ahead before the final copy. I usually just go ahead and write the final copy before doing a thourough plan. I learned that It really helps you break down your thoughts so you can put it clearly into your writing. I never thought that EasyBib could be so easy to work, and it easily gives credit to the ones who wrote the article. I revised my thesis statement more than anything because there were many aspects to making it right. The pathos in my paper, is the gruesome effects to deaths in trees. The ethos and logos is all the logistics and facts from all the different sources on the web

1. I spent my of my time trying to take out all of the linking verbs in my paper. I spent about an hour and a half trying to take these verbs out and trying to replace them with something else. It was by far the hardest part in editing my paper.

2.I use ethos in this paper many time by explaining that the original plan to raise Chatfield is not the logical choice. The plan is a waste of money that destroys land and ruins the park. If their are other choices, the logical choice would be not the flood Chatfield. I also used pathos to create pity for the animals that would be killed.

3.After writing this paper, I learned to create a much more detailed outline. I will do this next time I write because it helps link the whole paper direction and helps me guide the paper when I am writing it.

1.) I specifically addressed how important it is that we get stronger gun control soon before more deadly shootings occur.

2.) I incorporated pathos in my paper by showing that many people have died from shootings and i incorporated logos by showing the statistics of gun deaths in our country and in other countries.

3.) take more time on the outline and make sure to do the notecards even if they arent for a grade because it makes doing the works cited alot easier.

The part of my Position paper that I revised more than anything else was removing the linking verbs. I incorporated ethos, pathos, and logos by making sure the reader knew how barbaric the shark slaughter is, I gave the reader a way to make a difference, and I presented the reader with the information and statistics to prove my case. As I begin to write next time I will make sure I do not add any linking verbs.

1. I would say I addressed my whole paper. I worked hard on the whole thing and spent a lot of time on it.

2.In my paper I put ethos/pathos/logos a lot. I made people feel as if they where being bullied or the bully. I even added my own story to see if they could relate.

3.The specific writing and instruction that I will apply to my next paper is to have better transitions and to have more complex words in my writing.

In my problem/solution paper I really focused on incorporating good word choice and validating my argument. I put logos into my paper because it is logical to put up more boarder security and keep our country safe. Next time that I do something like this I will defiantly mange my time better and not have to hurry to get it all done.

I specifically addressed and revised my grammar and quotes like my lead ins and lead outs.

I incorporated ethos, pathos, logos into my paper by showing the emotion of Global Warming and different facts about Global Warming.

Based upon the Problem/Solution Paper I will revise my writing more and plan my writing better next time.

1) I felt like I worked really hard on removing some of the linking verbs even though I might not have gotten rid of them but I do feel like I have removed a fair amount of them.

2) I tried to appeal to the emotional side of the; "well why don't we give the kids every importunity we can"

3) I will try next time to work more on getting quotes incorporated into the paper, I really think that is what I struggled at on this paper.

In my problem solution paper i wrote about the problems of marijuana use and the poor restrictions on medical marijuana. In my revising stage I did a lot of small things to help make my paper sound better and flow nicely. But I spent the most time on getting rid of linking verbs. I incorporated ethos by adding real life situations. For pathos I made sure to incorporate children and the possibilities of people getting hurt and also death. And for logos I put in statistics and quotes by real people. The next time I write a paper I will be sure to keep linking verbs out of my paper because I feel that it makes the paper sound a lot better.

In my problem solution paper, I had to make the most adjustments to my conclusion because I felt that it wasn't a strong enough ending. Over all; however, I felt that my paper expressed lots of emotional pull, yet still had a logical side to it. I used the story of one of my good friends to incorporate the pathos side of the paper, and I used many definitions for the ethos and logos side. Thee most important thing I have learned with this whole experience is to do everything in sections instead of trying to do everything at once. Breaking it up into smaller parts make the paper easier to write/create.

The night we were assigned this paper I went home and worked for 6 hours straight to finish it, because I have something wrong with me where I need to get everything done. Anyway, I realized I needed to incorporate quotes, so that process took about another hour, and by then I was completely done with the paper mentally because I'd worked on it so much. I put ethos, pathos, and logos by inserting statistics, actual events, and other peoples thoughts and opinions. Next time I write a paper I will use an outline because when you do that, your unintentionally actually writing the paper itself.

The thing I revised the most was my introduction. I did this because it is the most important part of the paper and is the first impression on the reader. It captures the attention of the reader and if you don't do that right then the reader might just set the paper down and forget about it. I think that I did use all three of the things. I used logos by saying that it hurts the society and increases gang violence. I used ethos by saying that a lot more people will start smoking and it increases the chance of our kids smoking. I used pathos by saying that more people will get hurt due to the increase in gang related violence. Next paper I will really make sure that I will convince the reader. I will try to convince more then summarize it.

I worked on my linking verbs the most so that the paper would flow. I tired to lean towards the logic side because everybody deserves basic rights. Next time I will try to incorporate more quotes to back up my facts and ideas.

When I was revising my problem/solution paper I mostly thought about how it was put together and if it made sense to the reader. I had to make the most adjustments to my third body paragraph because I had to change it from being a whole paragraph on opposing ideas to a paragraph on the change in the economy if there were less homeless people. I tried to include a lot of pathos in my paper because it is about poverty and I wanted people to really think how they can help and change many lives. I used logos and ethos to explain how the economy could be benefited from having less people in poverty. Next time I write a paper, I will try to take out the linking verbs from my writing before I write them.

1. I read though all of my paper last night and I incorporated interesting words for better word choice and verbs.
2. I incorporated ethos pathos and logos because my topic is sad, my topic partly has to do with common sense, and my topic has much to do with money.
3. Next writing project, I will stay on task because I did not start working on my paper until last week and that choice was not very smart.

I found writing my paper was very difficult. My starting paragraph, I thought was easy to write. I wrote my first couple paragraphs and found it harder, and harder to think of things to write! As it got time to write my conclusion paragraph I thought that was they hardest thing. I could summarize all that I said but I still didn't know how to finish it off. I tried to make my piece more of more ethos and pathos piece. I tried to touch the hearts of many by giving disturbing facts. The next time I have to write a piece like this, I'm going to find more research on my topic. That would help a lot.

I specifically addressed the quality of my writing and how much depth I was going into and if I needed to go more.

I incorporated ethos, pathos, and logos in my essay by the biases that women face in sporting environments.

Based on the entire paper I will approach my linking verbs more because I know that I have a lot more in my paper than I should.

I revised a lot of my word choice. I incorporated ethos pathos and logos by saying how bad my topic can be.
Writing longer papers is something I will focus on when I write my next paper.

I revised the format of my paper becuse it couldnt flow together as well as it does now. I connected personly because i said that you kid could be using drugs and it connects to the reader. I would try to make the hook more intresting to get the reading into my paper.
