Final Edits and Conclusion

I am pretty happy with my reserch and what I have written. I still need to make a few edits and strengthen my conclusion. The class editing remarks were very helpful. They not only gave me some clear directions, but also assured me that I do have a solid paper to work with.

Since it is the last week of the quarter, my brain is a bit frazzled. I need to find a few more hours to sit down with my paper, read through it several times, and make any final edits necessary. I would really like to add more comics to the paper if I have time. (I’m having trouble downloading another trial version with a different web browser) There is not a whole lot more information to add other than clarifying the conclusion.

Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I honestly feel like I can write any type of paper now that I have learned how to properly do research. I found over 15 resources for this paper and learned how to best take advantage of the library’s amazing resources. I am sure this will help me greatly in my future research. Also, I feel a lot more confident in my ability to write longer papers; this and other papers I have written this quarter has really helped me break out of the “5-paragraph essay” mold.  I am not afraid to be a little sloppy when I start writing a paper – I understand now that there is not a cookie-cutter shape for every type of paper. I am hoping that by the end of the week I will have a polished and informative research paper on the history of fairy tales to turn in!
