1. Based on my own personal beliefs and experiences, regardless of intentions, relationships cannot be formed or maintained solely across social media. Some strengths of my thesis are that it takes a stance. There is no room for questioning what side/ what I will be writing about. A weakness that I had was trying to find a good sentence leading up to my thesis. I will introduce the two writers briefly and then go right into the thesis. I needed a sentence to tie in my ideas from the thesis to the explanation previously. In my thesis I believe that it was focused enough, but there is always room for improvement. Finding a sentence or sentences that capture all the aspects of what you are going to be writing about is difficult. I could have done a brief list and explained or talked about what specific experiences have I encountered to make me believe that social media can’t be the place where relationships can be Soley formed.  
  2. In writing my own writing process, some things that I learned was to just get words and ideas down on paper instead of dwelling on what you should say or how you should say it. I also learned that I’m good at referencing the “I say” parts in the contexts of the quotes, but I tend to summarize too much. I don’t focus enough on some of the simpler tasks like sentence level stuff. But enjoyed getting feedback, I was able to see what others were writing and think about how can I make my paper better. Based off some contradicting views that peers had, I was able to write a much more compelling argument. 
  3. Some of the things that I focused on the most were more of digger deeper into the I say parts of my essay. I was able to connect and tell my story, but I needed to add more detail. I Also focused on the explanation after the quotes and relating it back to my original thesis. And towards the end a big chunk of my revision process was more of the sentence level work. Working on passive versus active voice. I also needed to use better words to better explain what I meant to say. I also needed to add a few sentences before quotes or even leading up to my thesis, that way the paragraphs had a better flow to it.  
  4. For essay two I will look at the prompt and make a list of things that i might want to talk about in that essay from the readings. Once I do that, I will find some quotes that go along with those specific topics and ones that I just really like. This way it’s something that I want to write about, and it might be easier for me to see where I can add in the I say parts. Reading my essay over again also might help me with hearing the essay to see what flows, which will allow me to really work on sentence level skills. Also letting others read my essay to me, and comment on things that they might have noticed.
