self refletion of "Alyssa Lies"

This paper was the hardest I have ever had to write.  It was such a strong topic and I had a great song to fous on, I thought it would be so much easier.  I had so many ideas that I wanted to write on, but got so confused as to where to put them and if they should even be used.  I wound up having to rewrite all of my paper so that it wouldnt be strictly like a research report.  After I rewrote everything, I still struggled with my thesis.  I honestly just gave up and decided it was all it was going to be because my brain just couldn't focus anymore on it.  Bad, I know.  overall though, its properly formatted, cited, I used quotes, and analyzed well.


1. At arm’s length, does the first page look like a research paper? That is, is it formatted in MLA style, and is there a title?
Yes, I think I properly did the MLA format

2. Does the introduction include the topic, text, genre, author(s), context, implied argument of the text, and thesis of the paper? How could all of those parts be included more successfully?
I think I did a great introduction, but my thesis is still not as clear as it should be. I struggled with my thesis, and wrote it the best I could.

3. Does the author rely on sources throughout the paper? It is not a bad idea to rely on at least two different sources in most paragraphs, and you certainly want to use examples and evidence from the text—SHORT quotes and other paraphrased or summarized information—in nearly every paragraph.
I used a good many resources, quotes, and many examples in most of my paragraphs. I believe I showed I did ample research.

4. Is the summary too long or too short? How could the writer improve it?
my summary my be a bit too much, but I felt like it was necessary for this song. This song is short but every bit of it is important for the analysis
