Writing History Response Paper Instructor Comments Reflection

I think that the most important piece of advice that I received on my Writing History paper comments was the comment that asked me how much my experiences have really shaped my writing. I think that sometimes we give certain assignments and certain experiences too much credit for the role that they play in our writing maturity, which was what I probably did in this paper. In my paper, I stated that in my Statement of Faith paper I was able to write about something that was truly important to me for the first time ever. The comment that I received asked if this was really the first time ever? I believe this was the least helpful piece of advice because I meant this more as a figure of speech. I meant that it was one of the only times in a while, which is what I probably should have said instead. One particular question that I have about the comments that I received was about the comment regarding my introduction to the paper. Are we not supposed to have any kind of introduction at all? Do we just jump into the paper and start writing about the topic? With regards to my revisions of this paper, I plan to change many aspects of the paper. First I will edit the paper again, and change some of the grammar. Also, some of the examples that I used as my experiences I might take out and add in different ones. I think that I want to change some of the things that I said about my Statement of Faith paper. I am not sure how, but I am going to change my introduction and conclusion, if not take it out all together. When I am done revising the paper, I anticipate that it will look very different.
