Introduction to Treasure Hunting

The paper that shows my writing ability the best would have to be my final Major Writing Assignment (MWA). It is a process paper I called, “Treasure Hunting.” It is the process to finding merchandise at a swap meet. This piece started as a journal entry and through revising and suggestions by others became a three page essay. Some excerpts from my essay are, “You might find some good deals, but you are more likely to need a Tetanus shot after picking through the junk. The second seller to watch out for has all new merchandise.” This is a good example of my descriptive writing. Also, “The first thing you need to do is plan the trip. You want to make a budget, so you will know how much money you can spend,” shows part of the process to successfully find treasures at a swap meet. This is my final piece and I hope you can see my progression from a small plain paragraph to a process essay.
