Our essays are much different than what we have read on commonplace. no commonplace essay that i have read has been longer than a 5 minute read or around two pages long. the hard part i feel converting my essay will be shortening it and putting my opinion in it more. in most of the published essays their opinion is so strong. one other difference is the lack for a primary source for a majority of the essays. this wil not be a problem for me because the hard part for me in our RAP was getting a promary source and analysising it. in commonplace i read mainly secondary sources and information that let me know the author was well educated in their topic.
I feel like my topic is timely because it is happening right now. for that same reason it is relevent because steroids in baseball is important to alot of people. making my work compelling my be the hardest part of this essay. i look forward to converting my RAP into a commonplace essay and hope it will get published.

Honestly, I have never been a fan of watching Baseball. I played in Middle School but it just sort of fell away. Now, the media doesn't give the sport the recognition that it probably deserves. Whenever I hear something about Baseball, it is to do with another player getting caught with steroids. I think this takes away from the game and inclines people not to care for it as much as they could. That being said, this sounds very timely and could get opinionated really quick, so Commonplace should be a breeze. Good luck with your paper.
ReplyDeleteif you talk about how sports players use drugs you can maybe include other sports like tennis? the incident with agassi was a hot topic
