Making A Thesis Evolve

When I read this article, the first thing I read was about a evolving thesis. I know this is something we have talked about in class and it really helped to read more about what it is that we have been learning about. Throughout highschool,no one ever mentioned to me the idea of a working thesis. I always just chose one and wrote my papers based off my thesis statement, but in this article it tells us to do the complete opposite.  It tells us to write your paper and have your  main point or thesis evolve based on what your overall story becomes. The second thing I noticed while reading this article was that repitition is not always a bad thing. This was a really good thing for me to read because when I am writing papers, I always wonder if it is okay to repeate myself so that the audience is fully understanding what I am trying to say.  I know not to repeate what I'm saying too much, but it's nice to know that sometimes repetition can be a good thing.

My writing in comparrison to the explanatory student is both similar and different. The content and the way she wrote about her topic is similar to the way I write my papers, we both give the information the best we can and try to make it a smooth transition from one subject or paragraph to another. However, our paper set up is different. She has many smaller paragraphs, where as I usually have a few larger ones. I have been trying to switch over to her orginizational style and I feel like this booklet will help.
