           From my source analysis , I learned how my sources could relate to each other on paper, and not just in my mind.  It helps becasue I am practicing how I can compare and contrast my sources and map out my synthesis. Basically it is a test run for synthesis and comparing and contrasting my sources. Some similarities between the source analysis and arugmenative essays are that they are making a point and using the body of the essay to dispute or refute the thesis, and then coming to a conclusion about the issue presented in the intodruction. Some differences between the two essays are that SA doesn’t really have a thesis and main points and isn’t trying to make a statement, it is really more of a tool for the writer to help better understand what they are going to be writng about and how they are going to go about doing it. Argumenative essays are trying to make a stance or point on an issue and persaude the reader to understand or choose the writers point of view, they are more argueing a point. SA are more a formal brainstorming tool on paper.  Although SA and argumentative essays are very much alike and have the same format, they are altogether different essays.

I believe that the proposal helps a lot with writing this paper considering that it is such a big concept. This will help us so that we won’t lose our idea and our subject as we are doing research and have a goal of what we are trying to accomplish. I think students should write proposals for more papers because I think it makes writing a paper easier, becasue you figure out the basis of where the paper is going so that it is very solidly written and can get a better grade and be more successful in writing.
