As I began this assignment I knew that the word count would be my most difficult adversary. I tend to use flowery, difficult words, and too many sentences to explain my thoughts. Getting a 5 page article into a 300 word summary was going to be difficult. To start I knew I wanted a strong thesis and to end my paper well. That meant I would have to be very concise with my arguments. I did my best to explain my thoughts in one sentence instead of using 2 or 3. Normally I spend too much time looking up synonyms in order to enhance my paper. For this paper I tried to use strong words, but ones that needed less explanation. I also did my best to keep my sentence structures simple. The hardest part for me was to come up with my thesis. It still could use a little work, I cheated a little with it, and it isn’t the easiest sentence to understand. That is certainly something I am still working on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
