Reflection For Cultural Essay

Dear Ms. James,

I have enjoyed doing this paper because I have never done this type of paper before. It was very new to me especially the analytical part. The research was very interesting because I was able to learn a lot through my topic. I chose Fat Cat, the book, so that I can write about teenage obesity. I also chose Fat Cat because Fat Cat is one of my favorite books and it related well to an issue in today’s culture.


When I was doing the research, I thought that it was very easy to find information because teenage obesity is such a popular issue. However, since I was proving that the book did not depict accurate ways teenagers lose weight, it was a little hard to find statistics. Overall, it was intriguing to find how teens dealt with weight loss.

I really like conferencing as well as reading my classmates' papers because I was able to get feedback to improve my paper. Writing this paper was very intimidating because it involved research as well as basic analytical skills. However, when I peered review, I felt so much better about my paper.

Throughout the writing process, I thought writing the introduction was very easy because it was already planned out in the proposal. However, the conclusion was a bit difficult because it had to be a reverse funnel of the introduction. The writing process that I loved the most was revising and editing the paper because the paper was already written and all it needed was additional information or grammar check. The hardest part of the writing process was putting all of the research together in written format.  In the end, this paper was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to do more like this.

Sincerely,
Hannah
