To convey what the research paper was originally produced for, Davis and Shadle’s writes, “Anyone, according to this modern mythology, was capable of making a breakthrough, given the right disposition, intelligence, and training,” on page 423 of “Building a Mystery.” The research paper was originally made to display new knowledge. However, as time went on it, It transformed into students just spitting out boring facts that they have found on paper. Davis and Shadle’s essay is essentially about taking a different route from normal research papers.

This research paper process was much different than those that I have written in the past, however it was much easier to compose a paper at the end. I enjoyed having several plans and doing research ahead of time rather than doing a little bit of research before starting and later on realizing that the topic may not be for me. I also enjoyed being able to pick my topic instead of being assigned one. The annotated bibliography was very time consuming, but I was very grateful to have it when the time came to actually start writing the
