Not as easy as I thought
I thought that maybe I could make up for having to write my religion article for Journalism by ranting about how I had to write my religion article for Journalism for my Opinion column. Turns out that it wasn't as easy as I thought. Mr. Gaspeny told me to just write how I was feeling and to see what came out. Apparently too many different things came out because I definitely had more than one focus, which I have now learned is not a good thing. It took a little time to rework the article so that I was basically saying the same thing throughout. Hopefully this is a better version. Well, it better be a better version because it's already been turned in and if it was still a piece of junk then I guess I'm screwed.

Jen, you're right that your opinion piece should not be handling more than one main point/issue. But that doesn't mean you should be repeating the same point over and over. Instead, your column should include support and evidence that justifies your opinion on that issue. So you make a strong point upfront and then use the rest of the column to persuade the audience of this opinion.
