I mentioned on my “Critical Analysis: The Process” page some of the reasons that led to this revision which was absolutely necessary. Not only did I find this assignment to be the most difficult, but it was obvious that I made some major mistakes. However when I was given a second chance, I was more than excited to correct myself and grow from the experience. The original essay I wrote was not reflective of the rubric and my analysis of the articles were no where to be found until the conclusion. After editing my original essay, I realized my argument was hardly anything constructed out of my own deductions. As I revised, I kept in mind that I needed to remain cohesive, concise and captivate my audience with my argument, if not, persuade them. This essay not only pushed me in the right direction, but was a true learning curve for me.
