Conclusion: Wrapping up of ideas and

restating my thesis.

Important to restate
my thesis and to wrap
up my paper as a
whole.

This reverse outline has helped me a lot to figure out what I was trying
to achieve when I wrote it. I was trying to make a clear and concise essay
about how these interviews were unique in their own way, however
organizing the main points of the essay in a format like this was a lot more
helpful in seeing the format. If I had tried something like this when I started
writing it, it wouldve been a lot more helpful, which brings me to what some
of my major structural changes were that I made. I made a few of these
changes. My first one was that I tried to change my thesis so that it
sounded more debatable like a real thesis statement should sound. Another
major change was that I changed the position of one of my paragraphs. I
changed the order that it was in because it made the flow easier and it kept
me from going back and forth between ideas. This is what I changed in my
revision and how this revision essay helped me re-see my essay.
