This was the compare and contrast essay and I felt like I did pretty bad on it to begin with. One problem was the two weeks leading up to when it was due i had been working full time and also had two 24 hour clinicals ( meaning literally staying 24 hours at a fire station). So, this took a lot of the free time I had with the other essay and turned it into me writing at approximately three in the morning. One positive is that I always do a recursive writing process, my honors teacher in high school was really into it so it has always been a habit. So I always start with three topics and make the whole structure of the essay with a loose form of free writing. I write the first draft and then I read it once through and completely write it again

I thought we weren't allowed to use in text citations or any citations so I completely reworded any information I would have had to look up which was very limited actually (I couldn't remember exactly when FDR got polio). But, I had to do a huge project on this in AP Gov when I was a senior in high school (it was horrible, it was the equivalent of writing this essay with fifteen paragraphs going over major legislature and whatever of the war) and we had to know exactly when they came to power (both Hitler and FDR) what they were like before and after. Basically we had to know down to their mother's middle name. That's why I chose this topic, because I found it pretty interesting that there were some similarities between two men who obviously had vastly different outcomes. There were a few spelling errors which makes sense since I was the only person who read it. I mean even when you read out loud, your brain sometime corrects it for you unless it is grossly misspelled. That's why when you have a repeating word (i.e. I was watching the the tv) if you just read it, your brain usually fixes it for you. Which, is cool because that is some advanced thinking. But then again, it sucks when you're trying to proofread an essay. I had a problem with who the audience of the paper was supposed to be in the introduction but nowhere else within the paper. I actually don't know how I was supposed to word it to direct it towards any specific audience without adding a pointless sentence. I only had one run-on sentence which was due to me combining two sentences and forgetting to reword it later. Then on the opposite spectrum, I only had one fragment sentence. I had numerous comma mistakes throughout the essay, at least that was consistent. I even put one in the date making it not
