Microtheme

    

    I have never written a paper like this Microtheme before. It discourages you from taking a stand or trying to support your points with facts. This particular piece of writing will benefit my professional development as a writer. We are all so familiar with choosing sides and arguing for them. However, this goes further into writing and forces you to consider an idea you agree with without arguing for the point. This kind of writing will assist us in learning how to use our critical thinking skills more and keep our sentences brief and to the point.

    I underestimated how difficult this piece would be. I found it quite difficult to choose a topic, especially given how use I am to support my claims with evidence. I eventually settled on a topic, but given the standards we must maintain, it was still incredibly challenging to write about. To the best of my ability, I wrote my rough draft using all the examples as a guide. I was still unsure if I was entirely correct after I finished the rough draft since I wasn't sure if it sounded like I was taking a side. 

    The subject of my microtheme is girls with muscles. I chose it because very few people discuss how they are treated or how others see them. I used to get called names when I was younger, and I just wanted to highlight the reality that it does happen rather than take a side in the argument. I want people to read my perspective in the first paragraph and then just continue the discussion regarding the broader subject. I appreciate it because it is a little essay that makes its point without taking a side but still allows you to discuss a problematic situation in the world.
