No Place Left for Privacy, Latrisha Wilson
The first draft of an essay by Latrisha Wilson follows. Wilson used her freewriting (see Chapter 5) and her working thesis (see Chapter 6) as the basis for her draft, adding details that she came up with by doing additional brainstorming (see Chapter 6). Because she was writing a first draft, Wilson did not worry about correcting the errors in grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. (You will see an excerpt from her revised draft and her final draft in Chapter 9, and an excerpt that shows Wilson’s final editing and proofreading in Chapter 10.)
