    What I accomplished today was try to figure out what to write in my paper and try to make it make scene. It's very struggling because I'm trying to let everything flow instead of not trying to make everything all crazy and jumbled up together. Also I am trying to find more sources and try to find quotes that I can use for my paper.

    1. Today I found some quotes to use in my paper; in order for all of my paper to go fluently and not jump off topic. I also had some great ideas to write down in my paper. I want to write each paragraph or each topic in a different paper and try to have it flow. I also fixed my sources the right way and take many notes. I found video's to help me write my paper which is great and a big help.

  3. In class today I organized my body paragraphs and I looked up one more idea to put in my paper. I tried cleaning up the paper like fixing the grammar and taking out extra ideas that really didn’t really go with the original idea and point that I’m trying to make. I went back to my articles and quote and made sure everything in my paper is sited or quoted and not plagiarized. I need tried working on my conclusion but I lost my train of thought and went back to reviewing my articles and videos that’s I’m trying to use in the paper.

  4. Today, I was able to edit and add to my introduction. I am not completely confident in my introduction but, I have enhanced it to make it better. I was able to read through my first paragraph and edit it as well. In my first paragraph I was able to sort out my ideas. In sorting out my ideas I was able to create new ideas and a stronger first paragraph. Finishing my first paragraph I went on to my second paragraph and begin comparing the philosopher and neo. I did not finish reading my entire paper because I was busy analyzing each paragraph. I am trying to have at least five body paragraphs in order to make a great conclusion.

  9. Today I accomplished a lot of things in my research paper. I organized the paragraph’s because they were all over the place, and didn’t somewhat go in order, the order they were in didn’t make sense so I fixed up the order of the paragraph’s so it went more. I also managed to check for a few minor mistakes I did but didn’t notice when I was writing my research paper. Also I wrote a lot more on some of the paragraph’s that needed more writing in it, and I found more quotes that make my argument stronger.
