Making Position Paper

I get the feeling that position paper is not an easy assignment to handle right from the beginning at the first time I get this assignment. For this assignment, we need to have a thesis statement first and five main supporting details before we can do a position paper.

As what Dr Edwin have said in his class, I tend to understand that position paper actually help to stand with what you believe in. It provides appropriate evidences to support all the thesis statements and stands that we have made earlier about any types of literature text like play, drama, novel or short stories.

Is not that easy to make a position paper as what have I experienced, when we have the thesis statement, the next difficult thing is to come out with five supporting details. Sometimes I felt that there is nothing that I can find anymore to be supporting details. I also tend to making supporting details that are merely the same. I just felt to change other thesis statement but when thinking back on how difficult to come out with the right thesis statement, I tried my best to come out with those supporting details.

As we have got the supporting details, we have to look for the right evidences in the text. For me, it is not that hard to find them because I am doing King Lear and most of the evidences can be found in the first scene. After that, we need to elaborate and make stand for our position paper.

I think position paper makes me understand the literature text more. Besides that, I can relate the issues with what had happened nowadays. It seemed that even though those texts might be old and ancient, still it can be used and in fact suitable to be used today.
