Drama Essay Reflection

For this revision, I followed what Professor Batty recommended. The revision process for

this essay was a little more challenging because I had to expand a lot. The first revision I made

was to the thesis. I felt as though I could not progress through this revision without polishing up

the thesis statement. It was suggested that my thesis should be worded more directly, and once I

looked back at my thesis statement, I understood what needed to be done. I also needed to add a

counterargument to my thesis as well as to the body of my essay, so I did just that. Once I

polished up my thesis, I then began to type the counterargument paragraph. It was nice to look

back at my essay with a fresh set of eyes and see what needed work. As soon as I finished that

paragraph, I then attempted to relate all of my supporting points back to my central thesis. I

thought I did this on my previous draft, but I realized I did not do that. I then tweaked each of my

paragraphs, so they related back to my thesis. It felt silly doing this because I had assumed that I

did this the first time. By completing this the second time around, it allowed me to become more

conscious while proofreading my essays. After I did this, I added the in-text citations and added

the play to my works cited page.
