My Strengths & Weaknesses

I have a few weaknesses while writing this paper. First of all, my original topic was "Music during the 19th century", but after researching the topic I have altered my topic a a little bit. My thesis is "The most significant and influential basis of music during the 19th century in the United States is derived from the thoughts and feelings of slavery and freedom", so I am going to need to find more background information on slaves and Africans in general in order to write a clear, and concise paper that makes sense. Therefore, one of my main weaknesses is that I don't have all the necessary information to write my paper yet. I have plenty information on music, but I just need to find so more on the other aspects of the thesis. Another weakness I have is that a majority of my sources are from the internet. I found a lot of books in the school library, but I have yet to read any of them which is poor planning on my part. This week I will need to skim the books for useful evidence and information that I can include in my paper. One big advantage I have while writing this paper is that I have a lot of background writing formal essays in this format for debate. In debate they are a little more choppy in the structure and less eloquent, but they are along the same line which will help me write this essay.
