Revising the 1Report Assignment

                      In order to make my paper better, I will need to re-do my entire first draft. I guess I did not read the directions to the essay clear enough and unfortunately completed the assignment incorrectly. I struggled finding a lot of sources and I felt that my primary source that was given to me had very little information. It could have been much more thorough and relate-able to my topic.
            If I write less about the author of the speech and more about the speech itself I believe that that will help me achieve a better grade for my essay. I will need to look further into the passage of my primary source and get more of a feel of what the speaker was saying and trying to reach out and say to everyone else. If I can focus paragraph by paragraph I can break down his thoughts and try to organize them throughout my paper. Of course I will have to write in much detail about each paragraph in order to make the word count on this rough draft.
            I know that as long as I write thoroughly, stay away from a biography, and discuss the speech of my primary source, I can drastically improve my paper. I will talk about the atmosphere of the setting in which the speech was given and the time period and such other things. I will retrieve more sources and follow closely to the given directions.
