Strategies

It has been so long since I have taken an English class that I honestly do not remember what sort of strategies I have used for the development for my papers. In spending a very short time reflecting upon my last experience writing papers (which was about ten years ago), I guess I would have to say cause and effect. I am a facts based person. I like to know about the “how” and the “why” of things. I really enjoy cause of what makes things work and their effect on them.  The real only memory that I have of using this as a strategy was a research paper I wrote when I was eighteen about America’s Prison Systems compared to other countries. That paper used compare and contrast, and also causes and effect. I very briefly compared and contrasted our prison systems to those of other countries, and then more in depth described what I believed the cause and effects were of the prison systems as a whole.  Really backing up my ideas with extensive research that not only included research done online but also through interviewing sources I had access too. I am a person who greatly enjoys doing research and learning as much as I can about topics that relate to my life and things I am passionate about.
