Goals

                My goal for our first research paper it to be okay with not finding an answer. My goal is to try and do research to gather more information instead of searching for the right answer because there isn't always a clear answer, nor should there be. There isn't always something that has to be proven right  or wrong. Research can be gathered just to support ideas and to connect ideas. One reason I have never been interested in English before is because I like to have a clear answer. I like to know when I'm doing something right or when I'm wrong. In this assignment I will work on using research to connect ideas found throughout different sources to strengthen my ideas not answer them. Another goal of mine for this assignment is to focus on what parts of my research to use rather than summarizing the whole article. In my past writing assignments  I tend to use a whole quote or tell someone about the whole article which ends up being a waste of words. I want to work on sectioning out the key terms and the information needed that will support the idea of my paper. I want to use specific research so that I have a clear idea throughout my entire paper and so that the reader is never questioning the purpose of my writing. In the end I believe working on both techniques will strengthen my writing because it will be a more focused piece. It won't be forced to end with a right answer and it will focus on the overall purpose of my paper. I will use specific research to support my ideas and give the reader a clear understanding of the meaning of my writing.
