Growing Up With Literature

Since I have completed my first draft, I felt satisfied for finishing an assignment. Today, I showed it to Ms. Dzeelfa, I think I was the first person who have completed the first draft for position paper. Many of my classmates were still on the stage of writing thesis statement and supporting details.

When Ms. Dzeelfa read my draft, she commented I should not employ the point of view of Hardy for the whole paper. I should not say, “Hardy wrote…”, “Hardy suggests…”, “Hardy uses…” etc in my position paper. She said I should not analyse the poem per se but I should dwell on the issue I wanted to focus on.

Today, we also discussed a sample position paper written by our senior, Kastoori Bai. In her paper, she did comment on one issue in the short story “The Storm”, then eshe centered her points around that issue.

I think I have done wrong for my position paper. I should address my issue of man’s arrogance instead of analysing the poem stanza by stanza. Well, I have to redo my work!
