It was a difficult but rather interesting for me to complete my paper. I was almost satisfied with my quality of it and grade I was given. In the autumn term of 2013, I took Ken’s ELA class, too. I remember that I had great difficulty in doing the same task even the scale was relatively small. In this term my quality of paper was much better than that of 2013 and that gave me great confidence.
In the process of completing the paper, I was able to learn how to cite various sources with good paraphrasing, which was lacking in the one in 2013. With sufficient sources, I was able to make my paper stronger and more persuasive, but yet there is something to do in order to improve my essay. The paper would be better if I cited some sources from classics like the Prince of Machiavelli as some presenters mentioned. This kind of masterpieces would make papers well-supported especially when writing about historical things.
As a whole, it was very good experience to complete such a long paper. I was able to did it with fun, and I believe my writing skill became much better than one before this term. I wish I could have opportunities to write english papers again.
