Revision

In class today we just watched a man who rapped about the process of "Performance," "Feedback," and "Revision." He rapped about how one can alter the context of what they are talking about just by the process of revising. He rapped about Darwin's theory and in the process he was basically revising his rap as he was saying it. This context  of revising can also be applied to academic writing because revision is the key aspect of creating a paper that has been tried and tested many times but then the resulting outcome is a paper that one is proud of. I was new to this weeks-long revision process and I didn't quite understand why we had to keep changing our essay but I now know that it is extremely important to do so. The revision process helps us to gain various perspectives from others and that insight and combined human knowledge is greatly beneficial to an a paper that is especially based on argument.
