Revision and Extension of the Secondary Source Integration
- The University of North Carolina (2013) states that an analysis of a primary and secondary source is a valuable and rare tool that offers a more complex analysis of the source, in this case a movie, instead of merely describing, stating facts, and explaining the events that took place.
- Unfortunately, in my secondary source integration paper, I was unable to distinguish between analysis and summary.
- I went into too many details about the main character and narration of the plot and somehow missed the main goal of the paper, which was an analysis.
- Notably, establishing a proper thesis would have given proper direction to my paper and given me a proper foundation on which to build on (The University of North Carolina 2013).
- Secondly, I focused too much on the whole movie instead of just the trailer supposedly because I had had already watched the movie.
- Regrettably, I feel I would have done a better job on this paper had a kept true to the advice given to me on my last paper as well as looked at the big picture of the movie instead of only the storyline.
- Mitchell (2014) suggests that a secondary source is very valuable to an analysis paper
- Particularly, Mitchell (2014) argues that it provides a research in which to back up opinions and conclusions perceived from the primary source.
- In my case, I did not allow my secondary sources to contribute to the larger conversation of synthesizing, analyzing, and interpreting the movie Iron Man.
- My lack of ability to realize the full potential of my secondary sources may have contributed to me presenting a summary of Iron Man instead of an analysis.
- Categorically, I am comfortable to say that the organization, style, and clarity were impeccable in my paper.
- I believe that I presented remarkable writing techniques.
- In addition, I adhered to the fundamentals of writing a paper that was captivating as well as enjoyable to read.
- I also had a clear stream of thought as I progressed from one paragraph to another.
- Notably, I also strictly adhered to the MLA format of referencing and in-text citations, which was one of the few winning areas in my paper.
- Through this task, I realized I had a hidden curiosity about technology and innovation.
- The research process involved in writing this paper opened my eyes on the sea of possibilities and achievement that the human kind have dared to explore.
- Although the analysis was based on a fictional piece of work, the precise presentation, and the basis that the movie was based on reflects the thirst that human beings have always had.
- This might have led to wonderful technological advancement that has helped shape our world today.
How am I planning to expand this paper into my final Analytical Research Paper?
- It is without doubt that this paper leaves a lot to be desired on my part in displaying my ability as a writer to critically, employ the metaphorical interpretations of literary works.
- As a result, I plan to capitalize on my weaknesses and use this as a last opportunity to show that I could be the best at analysis.
- My newly found interest in technology and innovation will also be a significant part of final analytical paper.
- This may be because I feel that technology is one of the most controversial issues in today’s society.
- In addition, I believe it will be well received by most individuals because it is widely debated about in most educational and entertainment forums.
- Conclusively, my final Analytical Research Paper will present a model of proper and dynamic presentation of an analytical essay as well as award winning writing skills through presentation and proper writing techniques.
