LO2

At the very beginning of the semester, the way I used quotes in my writing and integrated them was extremely sloppy.  I was still in that High School mindset that I could just drop quotes in anywhere and it didn’t really matter as long as I gave a brief explanation.  This can be seen in the first paper I wrote this semester has the quote integration there is extremely poor.  Oftentimes there’s only a brief explanation given as to what they shell and don’t truly dig into what I’m trying to prove.  This is because when I was writing I’d often write everything first then drop the post and after.  I wouldn’t really plan for the writing, this often led to the quotes as I previously stated being out of place and not making much sense.  In my final paper, I tried something different instead of Simply writing the paper first and then dropping in the quotes I decided that I try planning the quotes with the paper. What I mean by this is picking Outpost beforehand and then writing the paper around them.  This can be seen in the final draft of my third writing project.  An example of this is when I start to describe my classmate Peters right where he talks about how he would sit lonely in his college dorm.  How does the lack of social interaction affected them.  I tried this with another quote from a 1918 pandemic narrative that I found by Linda Palmer.  In her writing, she explains how people were not allowed to leave to go to the store or school and no designated Runners were assigned to pick up certain items. I tied this together by talking about how people give negative effects from social interactions and that this can be seen in both of their writings.
