After meeting with my professor, we organized my final paper by how we wanted it to flow. She grabbed a notecard and a pen and simplified everything that I was trying to say. This led to these helpful cards that relieved my stress over this final paper! :) Thanks Dr. Cook!
Here we have the two main topics of my paper. I will be focusing on the cell phone use and how people are distracted at restaurants, and how the Beef Barn is a locally, family owned restaurant in my community. This diagram just breaks down that one main topic into different parts of it, including aspects like my interview with Ashley, one of the waitresses there, and some secondary sources.
This next diagram is what instantly made me feel ready to write this paper! I was very stressed out about how weeks and weeks of research, observing, interviewing, etc on this one little place could turn into an analytical, eye opening, yet emotional piece of writing that I have connected to. That's where this arrow flowing diagram comes in! My goal for the paper is to go full circle. I will start off personal, and end personal. I want to start off with why I'm writing this and what it means to me. Then after using my interviews, sources, and blog posts, I will explain the situation where people are willingly going to a small, family restaurant yet being so distracted!! Bringing it back to a more personal ending, I chose to comment a bit on how these findings will impact me, but not in a depressing, this is what the world is coming to, kind of view. I want to relate it back so that the reader can see me sitting at home with my little family, eating a home cooked meal together, without any distractions of cell phones, tablets, ipods, etc.
