Blog Question for Week 8

This midterm paper was challenging because it seemed like a very broad topic. I could have written eight pages on each of the time periods which I talked about, so I struggled when thinking about what information to include and exclude. Another problem I ran into was how to separate my paragraphs. I know some teachers want each paragraph to tie to a separate part of the thesis, but for this essay, the topics were very long. I had to break my paper in my paragraphs because they began to run on and seem too long. I enjoyed the topic because I thought that it is very important topic to think about, but I would have rather liked the option to choose one time period and write about it instead of four or five time periods.
