First Full Draft!

How to Write a Business Case: Tips, Tricks, and Templates | Grammarly Business
    I have finally finished my first final draft for my research paper! This is exciting because I have done some grueling research, and it was a PROCESS to figure out what evidence was going to be used for which claims. Also, I have always struggled with introducing my quotes (in a "quote sandwich" type of way), and I'm not sure why, but I did struggle with that in this paper, too.
    I have, so far, written a research paper that presents research in a sort-of matter-of-fact, this-is-how-it-is style. I need to incorporate more rhetoric into my writing because it will create a more compelling argument. This is something I struggled with when I wrote my documentrary project. I think I am doing a better job, but I could do better than I am doing right now.
    I am excited to see how this paper ends up after some editing suggestions from my professor and classmates! This paper has a lot of potential, I just need to tap into that.

Flowers

Flowers are gorgeous, And they should be treated right. I felt gorgeous, too. When someone says to Treat something right, they mean that It should be taken Very good care of. Flowers should have the backs of Other flowers, and  Make sure they're okay. A rose should help a daisy If a human tries To trample on her And destroy what makes her safe. Humans can be harsh. When a rose does not Have the back of a daisy, The daisy can be Hurt in a way that She can never fully heal From, and that's tragic. The rose did her best To save the daisy, but she Slipped up for a split Second, and the man Was able to inflict pain To the daisy that She may never come To fully heal. The daisy Does not blame the rose. It is sad flowers Are required to have each Others' backs to stay Safe from men when they Are in such a public place, But that is the case.

Update on My Research Process

    I have been working on my  research for this research paper, and I have found three sources.  I have one .edu source and two scholarly articles for sources.  One of these scholarly articles is from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the other is an original research paper (I believe it was an anthropological study).     In the past, I have taken the approach of a politician almost, and that has caused me to take quotes out of context and use them to my advantage.  While this does create a paper with evidence, it also creates an argument that isn't solid.  I will not be doing this for this paper because I am actually writing about something I care about.  I am not a politician that constantly takes someone else's words and uses them out of context to benefit myself; the only time I have ever done it is in one research paper in high school.   I have found overwhelming support for many of my clai...

The Documentary Summary from Down Below

     I thought I knew what I was doing when I set out to write my Doc. Summary, which I did because I knew how to set up my paper.     I started with a thesis statement, and then outlined the rest of my paper.     I have been writing objective summaries since elementary school, so I wasn’t too worried about that part.     I was a little iffy on the analysis part because I didn’t know what my professor was looking for, and it took a while for me to get the hang of it.      At first, I set up my essay almost as two separate papers; the first half was the summary, and the second half was the analysis.     Both had their own introduction and conclusion paragraphs and their own thesis statements.     I took this paper to class with me, and my professor wasn’t too keen on the set up, so I kind of had a mental breakdown because my brain couldn’t figure out how to organize a paper like she wanted. I sat on her comme...
