An Old Paper

One of the most important papers I've ever written was a paper I wrote in my English 103 class. The paper was about my grandmother who died of cancer when I was only eight years old. The paper meant the most to me and explained a lot to my classmates as I had to read it out loud in front of everyone. I did have music playing but I could not remember what it was because I always listen to music when working on any assignment. It helps me concentrate and keep outside noises out of my head. This keeps me from being distracted. Despite it being one of the most important papers I've ever written, I did indeed write it the night before. I generally do this with most assignments because I am a procrastinator. However, I believe there is nothing wrong with procrastinating if that is what works for you. I had a professor tell me this once and it is really true. As far as the type of paper, I would say it was an entertainment piece. It was completely factual but it was meant in a way to just talk about something personal to me. I suppose in some way that could be classified as entertainment. As far as editing and revising it seems to me that there is a big difference. Editing is more or less correcting grammar and spelling errors. It is the basics of the paper that need correction. Revising however is digging in to the actual words of the paper. It is the changing of sentence structures and phrases to make the paper sound more educated or fit just right.
