Blog 18: Report on major research paper

As I did the research for the paper, I used outlets such as the library, news paper articles, the internet, and personal experiences to help provide information about New York City over an 8-year period. While doing the research I feel as though I was not able to obtain more insight on the economical stand point of the city. Though I was able to find out minimal details on cost of rent, I would have rather included the average cost of commuting per day. Another problem I came across was the lack of information pertaining to the city at that time in general. Between 1990 and 1998 a few incidents and political changes had occurred though I would’ve rather included more. With writing this paper and based on the topics in class, I minimized my introduction using downshifting and integrated the use of more descriptive details. I still have to improve on sentence variety as well as restructuring of my conclusion.
