Song/Poetry Essay Reflection

After reading Professor Batty’s comments in depth, I decided to make a list of the

revisions I was going to make and eliminate them as I go. I had typed my original essay in a

Google Doc, but I copied and pasted the original draft into a Word Document. I had noticed that

the MLA format from Google Docs differed from the MLA template on Word, so I made a note

to fix the layout of my essay. Once I fixed the layout, I began to revise. First, I began to develop

my counterargument a little more. Professor Batty suggested that I develop this paragraph a little

more and once I took another look at it, I absolutely agreed. Once developing the paragraph, I

moved onto focusing on the “So What” question in my conclusion. Again, looking back at my

conclusion paragraph, I definitely needed to reiterate the thesis statement as well as focus on the

“So What”. I added a little more information in the conclusion and attempted to focus on the “So

What” question. Once I was satisfied with the conclusion paragraph, I moved onto adding an

allusion to the essay. This was my favorite part of the revision process because it allowed me to

look back at the lyrics and find something new. Once I added the allusion, I then proofread my

essay and fixed all the grammatical errors I could find. The feedback Professor Batty provided

only helped improve my essay and I am extremely grateful for that.
