The Metamorphosis of Literature

The metamorphosis of a butterfly is like the ideal process of writing is like to me. The writing process I encompassed has always had a natural flow especially when writing isn’t restricted and there’s no restricting topic. When I think about the natural flow and my writing process I think of a butterfly flying out of their chrysalis. A butterfly flying seems completely natural and beautiful to me and that’s how I feel about a piece of literature and the natural  flow of writing and the process of writing seems right. When a butterfly is in its leaf, as an egg waiting for days to pass by it is like brainstorming for ideas before starting an outline to a paper. Once the butterfly eggs grow into a caterpillar that’s like the writing process of a paper. As the caterpillar is waiting in its chrysalis that is like the development of the butterfly, similar to the development and adjustment of making corrections in an essay.

Feedback Blog #2

In my annotated bibliography I have a working thesis that is focused and backed up by several sources. I was suggested to keep on developing a better thesis. Along with having a focused thesis I also stick to my main topic, which is conservative feminism. I did not stray from addressing my main arguments to my audience by focusing on specific sources that challenged or supported my argument. In my summaries, I stay focused on what the author of that certain source has stated and later in my analysis I try not stray from my topic. I try to avoid being repetitive although my ideas generally hit similar points. I also use signal phrases and paraphrase my sources thoroughly.

I have minor formatting errors due to my header. I will try to fix this error by asking for help because I’m not so sure how to fix the error myself. I don’t have any major grammatical errors, although I did have a few citation errors due to italicizing certain titles. I also incorrectly addressed the author of an article by using their first name instead of their last name. Generally, my paper is easy to read with no major grammatical errors.

In this paper, I noticed that I did well in paraphrasing and analyzing my sources. I was struggling to paraphrase but I’m glad to see that I did well. I also didn’t make major grammatical errors and I also had a good title. I need to work on MLA formatting and how to construct a better thesis. I hope to continue to receive a good grade in my next paper by closely following the rubric and assignment details.
