#30 my paper

Today I have actually started writing my paper. I feel like having us finished our draft first is a great idea because I will not start writing my paper until the last minute, which is going to ruin my grade for sure. For me, the introduction part is fairly difficult. However, as soon as I finished my introduction part, I feel much comfortable about writing the body part. I feel like I have a lot of things to talk about cloning, for instance, the positive sides and the consequences; however, it is kind of challenging to relate the technology used in the Dollhouse and cloning together, I really need to focus on that so that the connection makes sense to the readers and I am hoping that I could do well on this paper and make it convincing enough that I do not need to change my topic to another one. 
Going to the writing center helps me a lot by narrowing down my topic and brainstorming with me about different aspects that I could write about. They would provide me with some good advice about how to build a more convincing introduction and how to introduce to the following paragraphs of my paper. They said that I need to view the technology used in the Dollhouse with another aspect so that it relates to the cloning. They suggested that instead of cloning the organs, I should mention that the Dollhouse cloned people’s skills and personalities. What they did have both good and bad sides, which I could talk about it.
Anyway, I need to move on to work on my paper.

  1. Ooooh cloning is a really interesting topic to link to the technology aspect of Dollhouse. I don't really have a real-world connection yet, so i'm kind of stressed about it :-(
