Reflection 3.1

Upon the completion of the third essay, the "Rogerian" argument, I believe I did a pretty decent job with my first draft. It seems complete, thoughtful, and well-structured. Looking at the paper, I think it does a decent job of utilizing Rogerial principles while still standing firm on my beliefs and expressing them carefully. However, there may be room for improvement in this area. In several sections of the paper, it seems to be a little too much like a rebuttal and not quite enough like a rogerian essay. Basically, it comes off a little too harsh sometimes, where I should instead be establishing further common ground between the points. I could work on this for the revision. Also, I believe a beefier and better-structured conclusion (with further identification of the compromise) could aid the essay, and make my revision better than the first draft.
