A Grasp On Inquiry

I have been having a hard time figuring out this whole "inquiry" thing but today in class I think I finally came up with a good controlling purpose that will help me a lot. I am planning on revising my essay to revolve around "what defines a 'medical use' of a drug and why the United States Government considers marijuana a Schedule I drug that has no medical purpose". I think this will help me create more connections between my sources and aim them all towards the same direction. A lot of my sources seem biased so I think it will be hard to conceal the authors' opinions and my own opinion inconspicuously within my paper. Because of my biased opinion I have a lot of information supporting just my opinion so not many of my sources challenge each other very much. After finally figuring out my controlling purpose I think I will have an easier time revising my paper for next Tuesday! :)
