A Commenting on Comments
I think the comments are quite helpful (thanks!). It's amusing that someone did practically the same research with the same question last semester, and now there's something to compare mine to; that can be a scary thing. This former student must have witnessed the same attitudes and was affected the same way I was by the members of this community. I think I understand the "purpose" of the abstract now, and I'll work on that. Yes! my Research section does seem like an essay, especially now that it's been pointed out to me. I feel like I do not have anything to write about for my essay now since I did my research proposal like this. I need to tweak the format of my research proposal; I should maybe actually use some bulleted lists. I will definitely work on my Methods section by separating it, and by making it more specific. I'm glad I have been told to use phrases other than "I must" all the time. It does sound strange, like it's a speech or something. Oh, and asking for a psychology grad student is such a good idea!! It definitely makes more sense.

You might think about how you can work with that section for your essay, actually, if you are interesting in talking about it more. I'm fine with you copying portions from the r.p.; the essay will give you a chance to explore your interview in a way the r.p didn't. You'll have to think about what you want to say to whom, and whether re-using that section might be helpful or not to meet that purpose.
Thanks for the help!
