Dangerous Friend
This story chilled me to the bone. Even though I might not have been in the story I felt as trapped as Connie did with nowhere to turn, and I wanted to learn a little bit more as to why things ended the way they did. For this paper I researched the true intentions of Arnold Friend, and also why Connie ended up agreeing to leave with him, and what I discovered left me in awe. Not only did society fail her but her family failed her. They held her to expectations that they held for her older sister whom she was not. They made her feeling like she was not enough and in the end that is what mattered to her. She chose death because her family chose her sister over her. I was challenged with writing this and and I also enjoyed writing it, because I learned so much about a story I thought had no secrets to.
Final Draft
When I say that I rewrote this paper three times before I turned it in I mean it. I took all of the advice from my peer reviewers and I sat down and almost erased the entire paper, rewrote it, looked at it, erased it and rewrote it again. I had severe writers block. I just could not find the words that I wanted to say, so I kept rewriting it until I finally found what I needed to say. I love what I ended up with, and I have shown many people this copy because of how proud I am of it, and I thought that I had written it fairly well. I have never struggled so much to write a paper because I love writing so much, but I really wanted to make sure that I did this story justice because it dealt with such sensitive topics. I wanted to clearly present this story and my interpretation of this story to my readers which landed me up with this my final copy.

Society has these expectations that everyone is just supposed to meet, but why is that? No one is perfect. So who should be allowed to judge others? Who is society and why does it ruin so many lives?

Rough Draft/ Peer Review
My rough draft, this rough draft was literally that... rough. I did have an idea of what I was doing but I did not place quotes well and I struggled to make my points very clear. In fact there was a paragraph in there about a minor character that was absolutely unnecessary and very boring, yet for some reason I put it in. This was my first experience with using scholarly articles for writing a paper so doing the tease arch for this paper took more time then I was previously used to but because of the articles that I used I found so extremely interesting points that I was sure to include in my paper. I knew when turning this in that it was bad and I actually felt awful about how poorly written it was but regardless here is my awful rough draft :).
