Paper one Reflection

When it came to writing my paper, I thought that it was going to be easy. Just state your argument, whether you agree or disagree with the writer, state the points you want to make, and finish. What I realized is that I think to much and I try to hard. I remember my professor making a comment about the introduction and how you want to make it interesting enough that people want to keep on reading. You don't want to make people fall asleep before they get through the first sentence. That became my problem. I had all of these ideas that I was going to use to try to make my point, I was going to paint a picture of what I thought something would look like. I wanted the reader to see it to. I feel like I blew it. I handed in the paper like that, to me slightly unfinished and I wasn't sure if I really did make my point, but it made it in on time. I do think that I made known what side of the argument I was for. I don't know if I really backed myself up as much as I wanted. I'm just worried that I tried to hard at the beginning of my paper to grab the readers attention that I lost focus on what the point of my paper was. And even if I was given my paper back to try again, I'm not sure what I would do with it. I think I just ended up rambling on and on. But I also always think of the worst results when it comes to papers and tests instead of the good grade that I might get. Hopefully my professor understands what I was saying.
