In Class Response 11/15/11

1. Revisions: Considering I didn't have a complete essay last Thursday, my draft of essay 3 changed a lot. Going to the office hours and being able to discuss my thoughts and the sample essays also helped a lot, as well. I have learned that when writing, I have to constantly ask myself "Why?" so that I'm able to understand why some people have the thoughts that they do. I think my introduction is probably the strongest part of my paper, because I feel like I was able to relate adoption in general to gay adoption. I'm concerned that I haven't put in enough information to make all my thoughts clear and that my paper doesn't necessarily flow like it should. I also don't know if I have a clearly defined thesis.

2. Planning Essay 4: The four perspectives that I used were homosexual couples wanting to adopt, conservative Christians, psychologists, and those involved in the judicial process. My suggestion to fix the controversy of this issue, is to have more concrete laws about whether or not it should be allowed. In my opinion, parents who are willing to adopt a child without a definite home, shouldn't be denied this right, and I feel like laws should reflect that. I'm not sure if I'm going to write a policy or proposal paper, because I feel like I could go either way with it, but I believe I'll probably go with a policy paper. I know that I'm probably going to have to do more research in order to write the paper, because even though I felt like I did a lot of research for essay 3, I ended up having to do more in order to write my paper.
