Observation 3

After re-reading my paper, and reading and editing one of my peers papers I learned a lot. Mainly, that a paper is never 100% correct the first time written. It can always use some sort of feedback, whether it be from a friend, a professor, or just yourself. After looking over my paper, I realized that I needed to go back and refine my thesis statement to fit the main argument of my paper. Also I went back into the section where I had made observations about the political cartoon, and tried to look deeper into the cartoon to convey a better understanding of what the author was trying to portray. One thing I definitely noticed was that my paper was not in MLA format, and that I needed to fix that. So I went on to certain websites and fixed the citations. I felt my title was appropriate and my opening paragraph was very insightful, despite the fact that I had to refine my thesis statement a little bit. By reading someone elses work, it made me realize that I could do a better job on my paper, and I hope will improve my writing in the long run.
