This I Believe Peer Review Reflection

1      The feedback from the peer review allowed me to add more detail into my essay and created more things for me to talk about.  Because of the feedback, I added more memories of me and my mother from when I was young. It was one of the questions my peer reader asked. Having someone else read my writing makes me a little nervous, but I really grow in terms of how I write and how much detail I add from when people peer review. In addition, having another set of eyes help me create more of an image for other people.  It surprised me that my peer reader and I were going through similar situations in our essays and that she and I could relate to each other.After the peer response I knew exactly what I was going to write, and I did not even think about it until it was mentioned by my peer reader. I think that is a great aspect about peer reading.

    I agree completely with the anxiety that comes along with the thought of peer reviewing. It's almost as if you've spilled your heart onto the pages and a completely objective person is supposed to read it and distribute solid suggestions to you. What if they don't understand what I meant by this piece of writing? What if they understand completely but simply don't agree at all with what I had to say? ...Over time I have come to realize that peer reviewing always helps in the end. A second set of eyes can recognize several things that the author's never could.
