The editing phase went really smoothly; however, I did notice that there were a few quotes that could have benefited from being segmented and paraphrased for more clarity; therefore, I did both of those things. I also recognised that I had committed the error of writing contractions throughout the entirety of my essay (such as can’t, it’s, don’t, etc.), which created the appearance that the writing was written in a casual manner. In order to make everything more clear, I went through and updated all of the abbreviations to their proper forms.
I I also became aware that I had gotten the citations for the Harvard style a bit mixed up. I amended the issue by looking up the proper way to cite sources on Google, after which I corrected everything and remembered to arrange my references in alphabetical order.
After going back over my conclusion, I realised that I had not connected the metaverse to the simulacra in an adequate manner, so I went ahead and established that connection. Because I also believed that it would be a good approach to tie the example of my pizza to that of Disneyland, I did so.
I thought that increasing the spacing to 1.5 might make the text easier to read, so I made that adjustment. This is only a reflection of my own preferences, since I find it fairly difficult to read texts with narrow spacing, whereas writings with wider spacing are significantly simpler to read.
In addition, I discovered a number of mistakes, the presence of which I was very much surprised not to have seen earlier but which, on the other hand, I am relieved to have discovered in advance of the submission deadline. I went back and fixed them, and then went back over my document a couple more times to look for anything that I could have missed. I believe that in order to stop anything like this from happening again in the future, I will ask one of my friends if they would be willing to read my essay. This is because fresh pairs of eyes are more likely to identify any issues.
