Ethnographic Problem

The problem I have been having while writing this essay is whether or not I am even writing it right. It seems that I keep writing random things, but I don't know if it even applies. Its hard to know what I am suppose to write. When we did the peer review my group said they thought it was right but then again we were all kind of confused. I'm writing my paper on cold stone. So I have been writing about things about cold stone, such as the tips, ice cream, employees, etc. I just hope what I am writing is correct!!!

    I have the same problem! I feel that I have good ideas and topics but I don't know if that's the right thing to write about. I wouldn't worry if I was you because your paper sounds really good. Let me know if you figure anything out!

    I haven't read your paper so I don't know what your specific issues are but, if you've picked a certain aspect about Cold Stone, such as the patrons, employees, or just what a trip to get ice cream is like, and try to stick with information that go with that aspect you should be fine. (I hope that was helpful)

    My suggestion would be focus on one main question. Once you have identified that question ask yourself what content helps answer that question, what support answers to that question, and/or brings insight to that question. If you have too many questions or view point going on it will make your paper seem ambiguous. If you localize around one question or view point and make the paper revolve around that, then it will seem clear and concise.
