The Final Draft

For my final two drafts of my researched argument, my biggest concern is being able to accurately articulate my argument, and narrow in on the topic in discussion. The first part of the researched argument wasn’t difficult because I had a pretty clear understanding of what I wanted to say, and the points I wanted to make, but part two, the history part, was a bit more difficult. I started out thinking I had plenty of research, but by the time I finished my outline, I realized I had gaps in it, and had to find more and learn how to connect all of them together in a way that makes sense to the reader. It was a struggle to keep the flow going in it, and expound on the points enough to be informative, but short enough to keep it concise. My hope for these upcoming two parts is that because of the knowledge I have obtained over the course of my studies, I will able to easily write them so they flow and feel natural, and will meet the required length without feeling over-stretched. I am slightly concerned about being able to convey the opposing argument in a way that relates to my argument. While I see their relation, the opposing view is not directed at some of the specific points I am making. Most of the opposing argument sources are broader and directed more toward the benefit of carbohydrates, and I wish that I could find more that would directly say it about the neurological system. Nonetheless, there is definitely still an argument there, and I have confidence that I will be able to clearly state it in a way that ties to my argument.
One of the things I am most excited about is seeing all of my work and research coming together. This process has definitely been a challenge, but I know that it will be rewarding in the end. I think the easiest part will probably be the conclusion, in which I state the way that we can improve the issue. With my argument being that carbohydrates negatively affect the neurological system, I plan to conclude that a diet free of complex carbohydrates can help treat neurological disorders, such as autism and ADHD. These upcoming parts will be a lot of work, and a good bit more of research, but I have a good direction in where I am taking this and can’t wait to have the finished product.
