writing center

My trip to the writing center, as with many things in life, had it's pro's and con's. When I embarked on my voyage to the center, I did so without having anything written for my Shakespeare paper. The girl I was working with on my paper (I want to say her name was Maggie but that could be very wrong. It was a long time ago.) had never read Twelfth Night, so in that regard it was not as helpful as it could have been. When I was bouncing ideas off her she did not know if my ideas actually made sense of not because she had never read the play. However, she was very helpful in coming up with ways to tie all my ideas together, making the paper bond together more. Also, she helped me in sorting out the difference between a general observation and something that made up an actual argument. All in all, I found the experience to be a plus.

  1. Does a reader have to be an insider -- that is, does your reader have to know the text you are writing about?
