This chapter was the most important for me in writing essays. Although writing the rough draft is something I am not good at it is the revisions and editing that i need to work on if I want my essays to be good. This chapter starts out with a good point; While your writing your rough draft many things change and become unorganized over time. This can include your thesis, your outline of the whole thing and maybe even your opinion on what your writing. That is why it is a good to revise it and have the ending product make sense with your new information and restructured thesis. The chapter has a good checklist to follow when revising. It brings up good questions too consider, like Is my thesis clear?, or Are the Paragraphs too long?. It also brings up proofreading. Proofreading is like the brain's version of Word's grammer or spellcheck tool. You have to slowly read over the whole essay and make sure the spelling is all write, the format is all good and the sentences make sense. After all this is over we should already have a polished final draft essay that makes sense and follows our thesis statement.
Hopefully after this chapter my revisions will go better. I really want my thesis to make sense with my essay, and for some reason my thesis always changes over time. I think revisions will help make my thesis better, along with the entire essay.
