I believe the writer could’ve crafted a much stronger essay if they thoroughly understood what the prompt was asking. It seemed as if they had an idea of what they were writing about but not enough understanding to go in to detail.…
article that I reviewed. I felt that he really didn't draw me into this article because it seemed like everyone was saying the same statement over and over. I think he could have…
I think his writing was meant to be more on the inspiring and entertaining side, rather than informative. Although certain parts of the book were written very informatively, most of it was meant to tell a first-hand story about his experience. I believe he was writing for various reasons. Some of those include trying to get people to change their lives in some way, having people become…
I like the fact that he is very detailed in the beginning of his essay; very meticulous on…
Her introduction had an effective attention grabber, which was an entertaining recollection of an event in the ladies restroom. While in the restroom she lost her balance and ended up falling into the toilet. This really grabbed my attention and let me know that this was going to be an interesting read. It made me want to know what was going to happen next. The tone she uses throughout her essay is a serious but humorous one. She uses simple terms to define…
I feel that the ethos of Gwen Wilde was solid. It is obvious she thoroughly researched the topic before writing her essay.…
As well as when it’s necessary to write a certain type of essay and when it’s not. I am unsure on what kinds of essays we will be going over during the duration of this semester but by the end of it, I am assuming we will be able to know how to write a narrative, argumentative, research, comparison, persuasive, descriptive and cause and effect essay. I am sure we will know the difference between all of the essays, know when it is the most appropriate time to use them and understand the steps it takes to write the particular type of essay. I expect to learn about the different essays in this class because I believe it will allow me to know which type of writing style I will need to use during situations in the future, like developing a resume for a future…
I did agree with many of the points he made. My favorite quote of this piece was, “it is folly to think that we as performers, as re-creators, can elevate the work of art. It is the work of art that can elevate us” (Schuller 8). This is the best argument I have heard for strictly adhering to the score and helps to strengthen the rest of his comments throughout the piece. His insists on following the composer’s instructions exactly because ignoring any one of them could drastically change the sound of the entire…
When the semester began I thought to my knowledge that my writing was that of good quality. Though I had a good basic understanding of the format of an essay or letter I still had a lot to learn. My writing changed in many ways such as learning to eliminate unnecessary wording in my thesis, the use of synonyms, analyzing quotes and writing abstract to concrete thoughts or ideas. This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…
I enjoyed that these three papers were able to make me a stronger writer. The self in context essay I was able to learn how to express my emotions in writing. Most importantly writing the essay I realized that I have been keeping my emotions hidden. The lyrical essay got me to start thinking about writing poems again. Lastly the reportage essay forced me to step out of my comfort zone and have some fun. I am very thankful for this…
Content and Craft are essential! You will annotate your final draft, with the goal of demonstrating your skill in incorporating as many “reasonable-to-include” stylistic devices as possible. Voice is of the essence, as is exploring and explaining ideas that are insightful and perceptive. Ladies and Gentleman, please pull out all the stops as you create this essay!…
My writing is nowhere near what I would consider good. I am the only one to blame. As I…

This class has taught me many things about myself along with many necessary skills needed while writing. I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier. Today, after practicing throughout my essays this semester, I believe that I, in fact, have…
