Organizing my paper was really easy after the activities we did in class. After class and going into the outline I already knew what I wanted the topic for each “mini paper” to be. I had my secondary sources for each of them and then I knew some scenes from each of the books I’m doing. I went back into my notes and found more scenes for each of the sections. Most sections can fit into both The Color Purple and Stone Butch Blues, only one of the sections doesn’t include The Color Purple. Organizing also made me realize that there was one secondary source topic I was missing so I found that as well. I have 5 sections for this paper, and some are longer, some are shorter, the amount that I predicted each page will take adds up to 15 pages. I already started drafting my paper, I have 2 of my shorter sections done so far, which adds up to 5 pages. I’m a little scared I’m going to go over the 15 page limit because both of my sections ended up being a little longer than predicted. Right now I’m just letting myself write all that I want to and then after all the sections are done, I’ll go back in and cut back what isn’t as necessary or concise.
