writing center

I had a hard time at the writing center, I had scheduled an appointment on Friday at 11, and the person i was supposed to meet with to go over my paper never showed up, so the only other time available was the Monday the paper was due, and the only time available was an hour before class making it difficult to really get my paper to be its best. I feel like if I had a chance to go through my paper on that Friday it would have been much more useful to me. However the person i met with on monday understood my position and was really helpful and gave me insightful comments and was quick and to the point which really made it easy for me to go and put in the edits before class. It helped that he had me read my paper out loud, myself which 'made me cringe' as professor Lay likes to describe it. As i read it I would write down things to change, and the guy helping me (i forgot his name, i feel really bad. he was really nice) would also stop me to give input and insight about how to go about making it better. I think the comments I received really did help my paper to be that much better. They weren't major changes, but the little changes such as adding more quotes that would fit in with the content really added another depth to my paper. It also helped that He had read the play and had also seen it here at school and really could understand what the paper was trying to convey.

I changed my paper by moving around paragraphs around to where they fit better. Also by adding direct quotes from the play to better show the reader what i was trying to describe. I was also encouraged to add better transitions to help the paper flow better from paragraph to paragraph.
