After looking back on my Exploratory Analysis I realize how far my ideas and thoughts have come. In my opinion my exploratory analysis appeared blurry. I never truly address what I wanted to talk about in depth. It is very obvious to me now I have gained a lot more background knowledge than I had when I first began researching Animal abuse. The biggest change I made in my paper was changing my research question from “why does animal abuse occur today?” to “why are animals used against their will for human entertainmment in the world today?” I then got more specific and talk about three ways animals are used against their will for human entertainment. Those three ways were in movies, Zoos, and Circus. I knew the world of animal abuse is too broad to put in my research paper, but I also didn't want to get bored learning about one specific type of animal abuse for example Zoos. My other fear was that I would have a hard time finding enough information. However I ended up being surprised by how much information I found on all three of the topics I discussed. Realizing it now I could have comfortably written my research paper on Zoo, Movies, or Circuses all on their very own. When it came to the organization of my paper I addresses, zoos, movies, and circuses in their own sections in the paper. First I gave a brief intro in each section, and then talked about the history.  Second I explained why each section was a popular form of human entertainment. Then finally I explained what organizations are put in place to help these animals and what we can do on our own. All together i’m very happy with how far my research has come!
