Reflection, jbr- this day in history
My personal writing style/process is simply that of telling the truth in this paper. There are many false lies about the Princess Diana. Some steps i believe make a good paper are below:
Read
Read the article, chapter, book, or whatever the paper is to discuss.
Freewrite
By now you should have some sort of reaction to the reading as it relates to your assignment, and you should be able to list your ideas and comment on them.
Jot down possible arguments for a few minutes and try to develop your ideas.
Thesis
Your paper expands and develops the ideas stated in your thesis. Your thesis should reflect the full scope of your argument, but no more. A sufficiently focused thesis will summarize your argument and set up a pattern for discussion.
Outline
Armed with thesis and ideas, you are ready to organize an outline.
Draft
Using your outline, you can now begin to write a draft. Your draft should include an introduction, a body of several well-developed paragraphs arguing your ideas, and a conclusion.
Body
In the body of your paper, you must develop the ideas you formulated in your outline.
Transitions
Use transitions to link ideas among paragraphs; words and phrases such as "In addition to," "However," and "I, on the other hand," identify relationships among points and work well either at the end of one paragraph or at the beginning of the topic sentence of a new paragraph.
Conclusion
Finally, you will need to draft a conclusion. Do not let your conclusion merely restate your introduction; if you have successfully argued your point, a summary conclusion generally bores and can even insult your reader. You may want to remind your reader of your thesis, but then take the opportunity to offer some additional insight into your argument. This can strengthen your argument while leaving your reader with something more to think about.
Revise
Now that you have a draft, you are ready to revise.
then follows proof read and other steps that take a long time to type....

The Basic Rules: Adjectives
Adjectives modify nouns. To modify means to change in some way. For example:
"I ate a meal." Meal is a noun. We don't know what kind of meal; all we know is that someone ate a meal.
"I ate an enormous lunch." Lunch is a noun, and enormous is an adjective that modifies it. It tells us what kind of meal the person ate.
Adjectives usually answer one of a few different questions: "What kind?" or "Which?" or "How many?" For example:
"The tall girl is riding a new bike." Tall tells us which girl we're talking about. New tells us what kind of bike we're talking about.
"The tough professor gave us the final exam." Tough tells us what kind of professor we're talking about. Final tells us which exam we're talking about.
"Fifteen students passed the midterm exam; twelve students passed the final exam." Fifteen and twelve both tell us how many students; midterm and final both tell us which exam.
So, generally speaking, adjectives answer the following questions:
Which?
What kind of?
How many?
The Basic Rules: Adverbs
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. (You can recognize adverbs easily because many of them are formed by adding -ly to an adjective, though that is not always the case.) The most common question that adverbs answer is how.
Let's look at verbs first.
"She sang beautifully." Beautifully is an adverb that modifies sang. It tells us how she sang.
"The cellist played carelessly." Carelessly is an adverb that modifies played. It tells us how the cellist played.
Adverbs also modify adjectives and other adverbs.
"That woman is extremely nice." Nice is an adjective that modifies the noun woman. Extremely is an adverb that modifies nice; it tells us how nice she is. How nice is she? She's extremely nice.
"It was a terribly hot afternoon."
Hot is an adjective that modifies the noun afternoon. Terribly is an adverb that modifies the adjective hot. How hot is it? Terribly hot.
So, generally speaking, adverbs answer the question how. (They can also answer the questions when, where, and why.)
