For my portfolio, I decided to revise my argument analysis paper. The strengths of my argument analysis paper were that I had a lot of good ideas and different views on the argument I was analyzing and my paper was organized in a way that wasn't confusing to my audience. The weaknesses of my argument analysis paper were that I didn't have a strong thesis, which made me be general in some areas of my paper and not connect back to my thesis and I lacked focus in parts of my paper as well, which as a reason, I became repetitive.
To effectively revise my essay, the first thing I am going to do is strengthen my thesis so that it includes everything that I am going to talk about in my essay. With my thesis being stronger, I am going to better focusing my ideas and views around my thesis and make sure that all of my ideas connect back to my thesis. I will also ask myself after working on my thesis if everything that I have in my paper is necessity for it and if not, I would delete it. In addition, I will pay attention to see if the way I have organize my paper is the best way to organize it or if I should change it.
I will also make sure that all of my ideas relate to the analysis of the argument I am doing. I will delete the ideas that don't relate at all as well as deleting the sentences that are repetitive. I will delete the sentences that are repetitive because they make my paper longer than it is needed and why should I repeat stuff when it isn't needed. With that I have a lot of good ideas in my paper, I will also see if there are any more ideas that I come add to my paper which will either support my claim against the argument I am analyzing or ideas that the author didn't think about. Lastly, I will add more quotes and evidence from the article so that what I am trying to say is stated clearer to my audience and it will make my paper be focus more on to my thesis as well.
