I wrote my rough draft awhile ago.  I had so much information to read through and decide what to put in it.  I did it, and i think it was decently organized for a rough draft. Going through the rough draft now to edit it into my final draft isn't going too badly.  I realized that my thesis statement didn't really cover everything that i cover in the whole paper.  It did at some point, so i changed it, but it ends with a question which might not be good, but i couldn't come up with another way to do it.  I forgot to introduce my sources, so I'm going back and doing that in a couple places.   Then after I put my works cited in alphabetical order, I should be done.

Paragraph 3

Ivory is an expensive thing that comes from an elephant's tusk.  I'm just wondering, why and who decided that it is something to use for piano keys or whatever else they make out of ivory.  It's expensive because the supply is lower than the demand, that's obvious.  I just want to know when and where it all started.  I also want to know where and how much the killing of elephants for ivory is still going on.  I want to find out what the laws are against it, and what companies still use it. 

paragraph 2

Color is a crazy and difficult subject.  It's too broad if you just talk about it without putting it subcategories.   I want to know more about color pigment.  I've learned a little bit, but there's so much more to learn.  Plus, I may have forgotten somethings, so I want to revisit the history of pigment, and how it works in paint today.

paragraph 1

I've been wondering for a while what exactly Buddhists believe in, and just everything about it.  I don't really know who Buddha really is.  I just know he's a happy fat man statue.  I would like to find out about zen and tao.  I also want to know where it originated and what countries are still mostly Buddhist.
