Week 13 on Research Paper

                 My research paper is taking lots of time, but I am learning so much in the process. Writing an essay takes lots of understanding on what it is that you are writing about. I am doing all my research to cover every angle because I do not want to be wrong on any of my facts. The topic that I decided to write about is on Madonna and her Pepsi endorsement deal gone bad. This is the very first time that I had heard about this endorsement when I was looking for a topic to write about. There are many things about this topic that I did not know. The song that appeared in the Pepsi commercial was “ Like a Prayer” and I always recall listening to this song, but it never really occurred to me what the song was about. I just never took the time to research about it. This paper is teaching me many things that are going to help with my future paper’s as well. I will also be more aware of the meanings of song’s that I am listening to. I still need some more supporting facts to back up the reason’s why Pepsi cancelled Madonna’s endorsement deal. I also need to give my beginning paragraph a stronger opening, so that I can grab my audience and really get them to want to continue reading what I have to say. I will continue researching on more facts and evidence to support my paper. I will write a couple of beginning paragraph’s and them in one at a time to see which one fits best. I need one that will really grab’s my attention and the reader’s as well.
                The areas that are really giving me trouble are my transitioning from paragraph to paragraph. I tend to go into my next paragraph with things that don’t blend right with my previous paragraph. What I need to do is blend them and not change so drastically from me talking about one thing to something completely opposite that doesn’t even relate to the previous paragraph. Organization is my number one concern in writing a great essay. When everything becomes unorganized than everything becomes very difficult to understand and all the hard work researching is mixed up. Ways to overcome these obstacles and see that I am doing a good job would be to categorize all of my different ideas and match them in the right places. Also before I finish my final paper, I am going to visit a tutor at the college and get some final proof reading done. I will take in any advice that sounds useful and I really look forward on this essay being an outstanding one. I will put my very best effort into it and I hope to continue learning many more things on writing a good essay that I didn’t know. I look forward to any advice that anyone might have for me and I will give any that I can to help as well.
