My Writing Center Experience

I went to the writing center for help on my literary analysis. My writing fellow was Gabrielle. We went over my paper to see what I needed to develop and focus on. I decided that I needed better support for my thesis. So I explained my short story Gabrielle and gave my ideas on support out loud to Gabrielle. She took notes on what I was saying. I began to write after she went to help another student.

After looking at her notes, I had a topic sentence for each paragraph. The help from the writing center made it easier for me to see what I needed to write about, without correcting my paper. I learned that possibly taking to someone to get my thoughts on paper is easier than letting my head wander. The writing center made it easier for me to get my paper done for efficiently, and I realized what I needed to write to make a strong paper.
