POSITION PAPER OOPS RESEARCH PAPER

    When Cik Dzeelfa asked us to write a position  paper,I was quite delighted. This is my first experience to write a position paper. All this while , I never heard  what is position paper all about. After Cik Dzeelfa explained about the position paper. I felt that it will be an interesting task. I choose a short story " A Lamb To Slaughter " for my position  paper. I already read this short story and familirized with the story lines. So I don't have to read the text 2 or 3 times to get to know the gist of the story. It is quite challenging for me to find appropriate textual evidence to support my argument point. I really need to look in depth and reflect the textual evidence that I had selected what it really means. With Internet, I able to understand properly the textual evidence that I had chosen. Writing a position paper also makes me to feel enthuse because I able to present a proposal that able to convice my readers with provoking ideas and that is something I looking forward to experience myself on how to engage readers with one's writing.

     On other hand, I totally lost when I need  to do research paper. Research paper , also a new experience for me to venture. I plan to write a research paper on Kate Chopin's selected works. I email my first draft to Cik Dzeelfa. At first, I thought my draft is going to be rejected  because I didn't plan it properly. I wrote the draft based on what I thought about the text after I read the short stories. I'm in correct path when I received feedback from Cik Dzeelfa. Writing a research paper is time -consuming. It requires a few stages  like drafting and editing to develop a well- organized research paper. Outline helps me to organize my ideas and thoughts in proper order. Although writing a research paper involves a great deal of time,I get to know more about background of Kate Chopin, why her writing usually deals with feminist and independence, women during her era and female protagonist in her short stories. It provides a good learning experience.
