When I was reading I cam across my first hotspot pretty quickly on page 149 and it stated, “The essential move for exploratory thinking and writing is to keep a problem alive through consideration of multiple solutions or points of view.” This idea was important to me because it will help make my paper more developed. This idea focuses on the fact that instead of just “settling” on a your thesis and only talking about that, it is still important to give numerous points of view. To do this you identify a problem, consider a possible solution or point of view, explore its strengths and weaknesses, and then move onto another problem. I believe that is concept helps to give your paper more depth and credibility. The more sources and information you have, the better you a paper is going to be.
“The key to this assignment is to choose a question, problem, or issue that truly perplexes you” (152). I choose this hotspot because I believe this is one of the most important points to know about your essay. If your audience can sense that your truly engaged and excited about what you’re writing about, chances are, they’re going to be just as excited to read your paper. When you write about something that interests you, it helps make your paper better too because you want to write about this topic. Writing the essay may also be more fun if you get to choose what you write about. This can make your paper less of an “assignment” in ways if its something that interests you. You may also learn something new.
