Bad writing explanation

The bad writing text I chose is my senior year English class final paper. I am choosing this as an example of bad writing because it was just overall not the best paper to submit as my final paper. My teacher was very flexible with the prompt we could pick for this paper, and I chose something along the lines of ” a scientific research paper”. Thinking about it now, I don’t know why I thought a science research paper was the best thing to write for an English class. Because it was for English, I wrote the entire paper in an extremely informal tone. I tried to make jokes throughout the paper, even though it was on the very serious topic of ocean pollution. I mixed my scientific research with sarcasm and jokes aimed at humans for causing pollution. Looking back at this paper, the overall paper makes no sense to me. I basically just spewed out facts on pollution, with no analysis or conclusion to anything I was saying. Steven Pinker even said, “Scholars in the softer fields spout obscure verbiage to hide the fact that they have nothing to say.” I definitely had run out of things to say in this paper and chose to ramble on to meet the word count. Thankfully, I think my kind English teacher found my sarcasm humorous, for I received an A on the paper and in the class.
