Writing Log 2

I feel the input my peers gave me was helpful. As Kelsey stated, I did not clearly state my claim; it was more implied. In my final draft I am going to make sure my claim is obvious to the reader along with being arguable, specific, managable, and interesting.

Also as Shawn pointed out I do not have a lot of personal input, it is more just evidence and more or less just reinforcing King's words. In my final draft I will also add more personal opinion.

I think I also need to go back and reread A letter from Birmingham Jail at least one more time to make sure I have not overlooked anything and that I really understand it. After that I plan on going back over my essay and questioning what I have already written.

I would also like to check the organization of my paper and make sure it is ordered and presented in the way that I think is best for the reader to take in.

I think the strengths of my paper are that I address the rhetoric appeals well and that I have sufficient evidence to support them. However, as I said before, my paper needs to have a more obvious claim and more personal opinion. I feel my paper could also use a stronger introduction and conclusion. Overall, I think it was a descent first draft but it could definitely use some improvement.
