Reflection on Draft
The second draft of this assignment helped me refine certain points that were already made as well as create new points. When reviewing my first draft, I noticed there were several critical flaws in my abstract. My abstract was more of a summary—I went in to too much detail discussing the points of the essay rather than covering the significance of the topic and the results found. As a result, I completely restructured my abstract. This also led me to review several paragraphs I had already written, including a body paragraph depicting my personal experiences. I realized I failed to vary my sentence structures and use vivid adjectives, making my writing dull and boring. I fixed this by adding in what I knew was missing and reading the paragraph several times to make sure it invoked ethos.
This assignment also helped me decide when to use my interviews. The interviews provided a wealth of information, but not all of it was necessary. The challenge was deciding when to use the information from my interview and discovering where it would be most effective. There are also a plethora of sources available on healthcare and its implications, but most of them provide only statistics. Although these are helpful and give a form of credibility, they provide little emotional appeal. That is why I turned to personal interviews. They are primary sources that provide credibility and they are also able to provide emotional appeal.
