Questions for Final Draft

1.      What was your main point (thesis)?  “The Moral of the Story”?

The main point of my Story is to never take life for granted. That everyday is a gift, one moment you may be having an excellent day with your friends then the next you could wake up in a hospital bed. 

2.      Who was your audience?  What did you assume about them?  What “audience needs” did you have to consider in writing the paper?  How did you tailor your writing to them?

My audience was a curious reader and to people of my own age who have experienced loss or hardship. This was meant to hit readers who had lost hope on someone but this story is supposed to renew that hope they once had.

3.      What feedback or reactions did you get at various times while composing this paper, and how was this helpful?  What other kinds of input or support did you get from classmates, teacher, tutors, others?  Were you able to make use of it?  How, or why not?

I got a lot of feedback mainly from friends and family, my family corrected me on accuracy and my friends corrected me on grammatical error and simple mistakes. I was able to use every edit someone made on my paper to create an even better version. 

4.      What did you find interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it?

I found that it got more powerful to me to write this story because my brothers accident was the biggest hump on the road i've ever had, and to write about it to many people just made it mean so much more to me. I've learned more about his accident honestly, when he was in the hospital I didn't want to know the details so I got educated on the hard facts that happened.

5.      What questions do you have for me about the paper?  (What part(s) of the paper would you like me to focus on?  What do you see as the paper’s strengths, and what areas are you unsure of?)

I have never been good at writing papers, since middle school English has always been my hardest class. I would like you to focus just on the quality of the paper and my ability to follow directions and make a narrative. I think my strengths would be my word choice and what I was unsure of most often was what Point of View I should have in certain parts.
