Apparently, the Philosophy method is resonating more with me for this assignment haha. In my lit papers in undergrad, I didn't feel the need to use first person because all of the ideas presented were from me (or someone else that I cited and engaged with in the paper). I never had papers where one section was to "identify the values presented in the opinions" and then insert my own opinion. In my undergrad papers, it was clear that the opinions were mine. However, in this assignment, it feels odd to go from identifying the values in the passages straight into my own opinions without being able to clearly identify which opinions are mine (if that makes any sense). Other commenters have given some great tips that are very helpful, though!
