About Reading "Watergate Sue"/ Writing Process

So much for writing every other day! Wow, I wish we had at least one day off... could've used that Easter Monday today. Anyway, after reading "Watergate Sue", I decided to respond to one of the questions posted near it. "What might Eve be thinking in the last box?" To me, Eve seemed rather content smoking her cigarette. I don't know exactly what the author wanted the reader to infer from the last box but Eve seemed to be reflecting upon something. Divorce can be a hard thing to accept, I don't know first hand but I have many friends with divorced parents. My best friend's mom was going through a divorce last year and she was always talking to us about it through the whole process. Eve might be reminiscing about the good ole' days with her husband in the last photo. Maybe she misses him, maybe she wonders why they ever parted ways, maybe she is just reflecting on the times that they shared and were happy together. To me, it seems like in most cases, no one ever really wants a divorce. I feel that people should talk it out more or try to really work through it...however I do know some relationships just aren't meant to be. Early last semester, my friend had informed me, that her mom went back with her ex. My friend was enraged and I was shocked. Her mom really had tried to make it work, but her ex made her life hell the whole time. I will never understand why certain people stay together; I haven't been in a situation like that. However, like Eve, I guess it's appropriate to find the good in everyone. As for my writing process, everything seems to be coming along ok. I have a really good essay topic and really want to make sure I have the right amount of sources for it. I did well on the last essay, by showing the counterarguments and fighting against them. However, a problem solutions essay, to me, is a little bit harder. I want to make sure that my solutions are feasible for my problem. I did a problem/solution essay last semester, but in a group. It was easy to identify the problem, but coming up with solutions that weren't too outrageous was the hardest part. It all comes back to my sources... I have to have data to support my claims. Hopefully, everything will work itself out. I have been enjoying this class and I feel I have really grown as a writer throughout this semester.
