Reflection 3.2

The revision process for this essay was not as drastic as my previous changes in my earlier papers. The revision seemed more natural this time. Since the changes were less drastic it seemed like I was just tweaking my first draft rather than completely going through the process of editing and revising. I added one more scholarly source, so I have two scholarly sources now (along with a few other secondary sources) which definitely strengthens my argument I think. I broke up a few of my paragraphs into smaller sections, and that actually helped me elaborate on certain ideas in each of those smaller paragraphs. One part that I elaborated on a lot was the compromise. I added a source to support the compromise which really took it to a new level. Another major change I made was I delayed explicitly stating my claim to be more Rogerian. However, after I stated common ground in the beginning of my paper , my following paragraphs definitely show what side I take on this topic (even though I didn't outwardly state what I believe). I waited until the last few paragraphs to actually state my side, so I hope that change conveys a more Rogerian technique.  I'm very happy with the outcome of this paper.The National Youth Rights Association encourages people to post letters on their site arguing or supporting their cause to lower the drinking age so maybe I can bring this essay to them.
