Process of First Draft for MP1   3 comments

When I first started to write the my first draft I was unsure on what I could use for dialogue. I looked through Goldman’s and Plato’s texts and went through it and picked out points that they would agree or disagree on. After finding several points in each of their works, I began to think of what a good setting would be for this paper. I thought a coffee shop might be a good setting. I didn’t have a setting for my first draft, but I unclearly mentioned them being in a coffee shop in the dialogue. I started out the with them talking about ignorance and making that a point they would agree on. I then transitioned into them disagreeing. I found it tough to focus in on one particular point in the discourse between Socrates and Goldman. Therefore my first draft ended up being more like lecture summarizing their ideals rather than a dialogue between the them. I can’t remember the last time I had to write a dialogue, because of this I felt a little awkward when writing this first draft. I found myself struggling the first draft to find enough for them to talk about. This first draft was a great learning experience for me and I felt that I learned a lot from this draft which I was able to take to future drafts of this paper. By writing this first draft I had discovered how to take their ideals and make it in a dialogue between the two rather than a lecture between them.
