Author's notes for final draft.

This is my author's notes for the final draft of my rhetorical case study. I have never had the opportunity to write a paper of this format before. It was a good experience and I learned a lot about my topic. I know feel that I can explain everything regarding Bernard L. Madoff. I feel sorry about all the people who got hurt by this financier. I am worried about my paper because I think that I sound biased against Madoff. But the truth is that it is difficult not to sound biased because everything that he did was wrong and it had a negative impact in thousands of people's lives. I am also worried about the format and the flow of the essay. It is difficult for me because english is my second language and I have a hard time converting my thoughts from spanish to english. I hope this is what you were expecting me to write. I did my best effort. 

rhetorical case study

To be honest i have had a hard time finding primary sources on my topic. All of the sources i have found are secondary sources. Im am trying to focus my essay on how people reacted after finding out all the money they lost. And how it affected their companies or investments as well as their lives. I have found info on people who either lost a big chunk of their money and people who because of the losses have even killed themselves. I will continue to do my research on the library web page and on google as well. I logged on to youtube and found some videos that relate to my topic. So ill have to take notes on them. 

At the beginning i did not know much about the topic but it sounded interesting so i decided to research on it. Now that I have been reading on this topic, i have learned lots of new interesting info that i could use for my rhetorical case study. It is incredible how just one person could hurt so many in just 1 day. 

Draft revisions

Monday's workshop was very useful to me. My draft was read Megan and Holly. I think they did a great job pointing me out on the stuff that I need to improve upon. As I read both of their comments, I noticed that I lacked description in certain parts of the essay. They revised my grammar as well and gave me great feedback on what i should change or include to my writing. 

Ms. Patrick read my paper as well. She thought that my essay was in the right track but I need to improve and expand certain areas. Overall by the comments I have received, I think my space analysis will be very good. This workshops are very useful and interactive. 

As of now, I have made several changes to my paper. I changed all the grammatical errors and expanded  a little in certain areas that my peers had pointed out. But I have not been able to go to the library again. So, i am planning on going to the library and check out the area to make a proper analysis of each and every space.
