Reflection

Though I am unfamiliar with this genre and have been learning a lot about my strengths and weaknesses in different modes of writing, I am fairly confident with my writing on a paragraph-to-paragraph basis. As such, I didn't find many aspects that I felt needed much improvement. That being said, I did find some of what the book mentioned helpful.

In reference to my QRG, I need to consider reviewing the main points in each of my paragraphs. In my eyes, a lot of what the book said on this point was vague and irrelevant to this genre. As a QRG consists of many smaller paragraphs, repeating a main point that links to the thesis at the beginning of every paragraph would be pointless, and definitely defeat the QRG's purpose of being concise and easy to follow.
