Contradictions of ideas

Have you ever come across a situation in your life where you thought something to be true but it actually turned out to be the opposite?
I am sure everyone of us has some kind of ironic situations or conntradictory conditions where we got really surprised at the unexpected turn of events.
Personally,I have recently come across such kind of event in my life. I am in the process of finishing my narrative assignment of english 103.I have submitted my first draft edited and proofread thinking that I have few mistakes.Eventually,after peer review in the class the paper ended up a mess.That was really something unexpected to me. My view on paper tatally changed.I went on to read chapter 26 of the Norton field guide to writing with readings on editing and proofreading.My second draft,however, seemed to be much better because I made use of strategies and techniques from the book and felt a lot ahead in writing.Editing and proofreading were the two main points to consider while doing paperwork.
Hope you will take the next step towards improving your writing ability by going through chapter 24 of the above mentioned book.
