The Writing Process Analysis

After reading “The Writing Process” in chapter 2, I learned the major aspects to writing a well-developed essay. The methods in developing an essay are: finding a focus, developing a thesis statement, drafting, and editing. Firstly, finding a focus plays a crucial part because when there are many ideas in mind people tend to have trouble focusing on one topic. After settling on a topic, the next step would be to create a thesis statement. The thesis is a statement that relates to all the ideas and the essay should be centered on the statement. Likewise, drafting brings in a lot of ideas for a paper. Drafting essays allows plenty of editing time. While editing essays, one might come across grammatical errors. Identifying errors and correcting them will make the essays sharp and to the point.
As I have mentioned before
Out of the many aspects, Anaya’s thesis statement is well crafted. Her thesis statement has an opinion and is focused in an idea. She writes that people with mental illness suffer the most: “At the same time, another group—those with mental illness—has come to suffer even worse representation” (J. Aaron, D. Kennedy, X. Kennedy, and E. Repetto 53). This view point of hers can be argued by another person who might think that people with diseases suffer more than the ones with mental illness. Another major aspect needed in an essay that Anaya has is examples. She inserted examples in her paragraphs to support her ideas, opinions, and topics. For instance, Anaya writes an example about the media on mental illness. She states that the “descriptions of mental illness also go beyond Maria’s concerns, because the media actually exploit it” (54). This example relates back to her main focus in the thesis statement. Rosie Anaya’s essay is an encouragement for me and all other students reading it to improve on the writing skills. It obtains clarity, effectiveness, and is error
