Reflection 2.2

The revision process for this paper was very different compared to my last one. I feel like I made a lot more changes to the second draft of this paper compared to the second draft of the rhetorical analysis. Not only did I work on changes in paragraph structure, language, and other non-context related techniques, but I also developed my ideas much more in the second draft. I knew that my first draft for the rebuttal was not a strong one, so I was afraid that my second draft would reflect that. However, I think I made many necessary changes to make this paper into something I can be proud of. The conflict of freedom of speech is very important to me and I'm very glad I chose the Huck Finn paper to rebut. I think I probably could have used more concrete evidence to back up my claims such as statistics, but I hope that my arguments are strong enough to clearly convey my overall idea. It was very difficult to find recent scholarly sources for this issue but when looking through my other sources, I was very compelled in what I found. This issue of publishing a censored version of Mark Twain's work is stirring up much controversy and I see that in the many articles I found during research. I'm glad that this essay brought me aware to such an issue.
