This week it is our choice on what to write on as long as it is related to our work somehow.  I will be writing on the difficulty that I had researching my  topic. 
I decided to write my paper on foster care and when I typed in foster care I found that was too broad of a topic.  So I narrowed it down to foster care in the United states and then to mental illnesses caused by fostercare.  I thought that this was  a pretty good topic to write on so I began to research it further. 

What I found however is that there were two articles relating to the topic and I needed five.  I know enough about english to know that you can not write a four page paper with two sources.   So I had a dilema what should I do.  I had to think abstractly, something that I am not good at.    I was able to come up with some things that made my paper ok, but it still sucked. 

My question is this.  How are we supposed to write a paper when we are restricted by peer reviewed journals?  The answer is we can not.  I believe that  to write a good paper we need to be able to expand and that is all I have to say about that.
