SRP ANALYSIS

Well I am definitely glad to say that i have completed the senior research paper, the one that we have been dreading since freshman year.  To be honest it really was not as bad as I thought it would be and that is because of all the deadlines kept me from procrastinating.  Even though, at the time, I did not like turning in a introduction, then another 6 pages, then another 6 pages, ect, it really did help me at the end.  I did not have to spend my whole weekend working on my paper because it was pretty much already done.  Something that I could have improved on my paper is probably my transition and ending paragraph.  I know that I got a lot of facts, information, and analysis down but my writing has never been a good flow.  I have always had trouble with the flow of sentences in general, it is definitely something that I am going to have to look out for next year.  What I did well was that I stayed organized, and on track.  Also I think that I understood the novel very well by the end of the paper.  My book definitely does not fit in the easy sit down, read, and fully understand category, so I am impressed that I was able to dig deep and figure out Arundhati Roy's message.  If I were to redo something, it probably would have to be doing a better editing job.  I am not going to lie but towards the end I started to get a tad lazy, but not too bad!  I wish I would have paid better attention to what the articles said because they had some really good information that I decided to skip out on; I mean I didn't want to write another 8 pages!  For next year students, I suggest that they just keep up with the workload, all those extra points are really important to the third quarter grade and it helps prepare you for the final paper, leading to the whole fourth quarter grade.  It is not that bad, just have fun with it, enjoy your book and enjoy writing it because that is what is going to make your paper good.
