• Details can make a paper go from mediocre to a great paper/ It is one thing to say, "Jane was late." It would be better to say, "Jane was late because she forgot her assignment at home and had to turn around to get it and hit traffic." Details often help to make your thoughts and ideas much clearer to the reader.
• Outside sources can help to back up a paper and give more interest to the reader when you either make comparisons or list differences in your essay. Sources show that the writer put time into their paper because they had to research the topic to find additional information.
• Word choice is helpful when a writer finds themselves repeating themselves constantly. When you find other words to use it can help one either be informal or formal throughout their paper.
• The thing most easiest for me while writing a paper is outside sources. I am good at finding things on the internet that can help back me up to make my essay stronger and more formal. The hardest thing for me is details. I feel that I can be more detailed if I tried, but I worry about ranting on or just saying things to add space to a paper.
