Reflection

My point of view on this topic changed from when I wrote this paper to when I wrote my research paper. In my research paper, I not only looked at the immediate solutions, but also the solutions that stopped the fundamental cause of mass shootings. In my revision, I added this concept into my proposal. By addressing the fact that there was a difference among proposed ideas, I present the reader with two types of solutions: immediate and long term. Both have their own advantages and I bring this up in my proposal. I feel that my revised essay now has a broader view on the topic and encompasses more ideas than before. Other than this, I had a few formatting and spelling issues. The spelling errors were all typos and easily fixed. The formatting error was also fixed easily and my revised bibliography follows MLA citation better than before. From this essay, I have seen how early drafts are exactly that, drafts. They are meant to be changed and edited so that your final copy is more refined. By building on earlier drafts you begin to dive more deeply into some ideas that you may have skimmed over the first time. This adds another layer of depth to your writing and makes reading the paper more enjoyable and engaging.
