Restart

So today i went into my instructers office before class and told her about my problems whith my draft. I explained to her that i am realy having a hard time maintaining a clear focus and clear thesis. I also told her that i am really not sure what i am trying to accomplish with this paper. Because isn't the point of an acedemic paper to create some sort of new knowledge? I am really glad i went and talked to her because she gave me a ton of ideas and really helped me get a good grasp on my purpose in writing and what i need to focus on in the paper.
