wen
     my third visit to the writing center
          I got to work with Carlos he had explained to the student who i was and why i was there.The student didn't mind i don't think she had a choice.The main concern with the students paper was everything. This was a high order of concern. Although the student had explain to Carlos the reason she chosen to write in such form was so that the reader can get an understanding of the book, the author, and her topic,.Carlos read her paper aloud he said this will help and it did because he was able to tell her and give her example of a ways she can start it out she needed her own opinion and ways to start her theses. But the student felt very strong about her paper. Her paper was about the virtue of Selfishness. Carlos asked her  if he can see the assignment and there was the answer all along in a format that the teacher laid out for his/her students to follow.Although she has quotations from the book she needed to lay down her arguments and the reason she choose those quotes. Carlos gave her a rules for writers must have topic sentence,write the paper,read the paper aloud, and finally what the paper is about. the to do was what should come first, middle and end and fix fragmented sentence and make sure she knows subject,verb gave her a tip that her opinion is going to come into play in the introduction and conclusion.
      In the end the student saw a way to arrange her paper. She also had a better understanding of the format. I learned that you have to take your time with the student when they have strong feelings and is showing you good parts of the paper.
