However, towards the middle of the scene, I didn't continue to connect and trust my scene partner. Although, I didn't allow my inner critic to intervene, I wasn't completely living…

on the topic and took my time writing. I felt that it would be a good idea to go through my book and highlight important information that I deemed necessary to produce a well written essay.
