Blog 18: Report on major research paper

While researching for New Jack City, I found it difficult to find information on the financial and political aspects of the last 1980s in New York City. The social trends were easy to find because growing up the same trends were still going on. Going to the library I couldn't find any books that had exact data. Looking up news articles was the best way that I found information. The internet also gave me the best data but I was limited but I limited the search because I didn't want to have my main sources from the web. Class discussions help me out a lot with topic sentences, introductions and conclusions, downshifting, and sentence variety because of the way that I `would make every sentence a run-on sentence. The class helped me out making my introduction and conclusions more direct instead of rambling on. Overall, I found enough information from articles instead of just getting my information straight from the internet.
