As many other people have already said, this reading was probably the most difficult we've gotten so far, mostly because it was so long. It deals with parts of history that we've been taught since we were younger. One of the main things I thought about when reading was how much work was actually put into these documents and how many times the must have been changed to make them absolutely perfect. And to think of a document made so long ago still having great importance today is amazing. How much time, effort, and revision that is put into something can make or break it in my opinion. We’ve always been taught that revision is key but I guess it’s one of those things you don’t really think about too much just because it’s been repeating so many times. We write it off as something that’s not that important when in reality it could make something better. Even thinking about some of the papers I’ve written I realize how much better they could have been with a little revision. Making mistakes is only human, which is why when we strive to make something really great looking at it a second or third time can really help to show us problem areas or things that need to change. I might be getting a little off track here but the point is that these documents from our past are still around because of the work that was put into them. I know I could use that as something to strive for in my papers.
