Unit 1 “Culture”, – Thoughts on Writing my essay

In language arts, we had a lot of sources and text about culture. We explored through various novels, short stories, and poems that show examples of the topic culture. We came up with opinions what makes culture something vast and big, everyone had different viewpoints; taking aspects in from culture and providing evidence from different resources.

Coming up with my thesis wasn’t hard, I thought on the essay on a single idea and built on it making my thesis. But the thing that makes it hard to write the essay was keeping the idea straight to the point without putting too much stuff in or not vaguely explaining it, making it clear. What was hard for me was I was confused a lot on the narrow focus and what to do with the evidence. I connected my text to my thesis without saying the same thing just varied the different points throughout my writing. What I really found out when I was writing my essay was that I realised I should’ve put more points in the body paragraphs. What thought about the essay I needed more detail although I need to build my analysis that will support my thesis; more quotations more depth into my writing.

My concerns on writing this essay are how to provide quotations and a deeper analysis to connect my thesis. I do have great ideas but to use them I need to try using it in the relation to resources.
