The assignments we had, such as researching with general literary sources and commenting and discussing our ideas with our peers, really helped me as I wrote this essay. It felt like it all came together before I started writing it! Our prewriting assignment, where we took a formal approach at analyzing and annotating the poem, and then looking at that with the research that we and our peers had done, helped me to get comfortable with my ideas and formulate a plan. Before I even sat down to write I already had my these, my claims, and my evidences to back it up, making the writing process much easier, and really helping my paper to stay focused and clear and concise. In the future, I would like to take a similar approach to writing any kind of analysis paper-- especially discussing my research and ideas with peers!
