Cover Letter

                After having a break and reading my project three research paper I found a lot of things that needed to be changed. Of course there were some simple mistakes like grammatical errors and punctuation but there were also things that I wanted to produce a different effect. One thing that I made a change with was my paragraph about the different kinds of disorders and what they involve. My original intention was to describe how many disorders there really are and how it can be difficult to identify and prevent these diseases. They can be easily overlooked if you do not know what you’re looking for. I changed this paragraph and added more details about how disorders can be hidden. I also found many instances of generality. I found myself using “people” and “it” when I meant people with disorders or the eating disorder itself. I also found that I did not include some of my citations that were crucial to the information that I included in my paper. By adding these citations I feel my paper has more ethos and is a more credible source for my topic.

            I feel I have grown extensively as a writer throughout English 1200. I came into this class with previous knowledge of English but I feel this class has piled on even more techniques I can use in the future. I am going to take out the ability to narrow a general topic into many different specific ones. Having this ability will allow me to become a better writer and produce more effective papers with main points that are relevant and elaborate. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in English 1200 and I feel I am leaving with a broad and modern outlook on English and writing.
