Lab 3: What Type Of Reader Am I

Decent Essays
Similar to Walter Isaacson's grade, I felt relieved to reveal that his writing level he used in his autobiography was equivalent to mine. Therefore, giving me a sense of pride, confidence, and boost of self-esteem in my writing capabilities. The 103 words I prefered to grade on Microsoft Word was extracted from my recent assignment in my English class. Which was about reading and types of readers. I titled this composition as "Lab 3: What Type Of Reader Am I."
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, I felt compelled to elevate my writing grade level and plan on accomplishing this goal before the end of my fall semester in my English 595. with this objective in mind, I consider myself as a sponge eager to soak up all the knowledge on English literature

    During this semester of English W131, I have experienced both accomplishments and setbacks while learning how to improve my writing skills. Throughout the course, I have learned that writing is not only about how much information is in the paper, but also about how well the writer’s thoughts are expressed throughout the text.

Although I have had difficulty in the class, I do believe that I have learned from my mistakes and that I am finishing the course with stronger writing skills that will help me though the rest of my college career and life.…

    I started my journey through writing this year a bundle of nerves and a stomach full of coffee. This is my first year taking an advanced English course, but I was determined to do well. There has been no sleeping in class or slacking off this year, I’m lucky enough to take a college course a year early and at a better price, and I’m not going to waste it. I’ve learned a lot this semester, including but not limited to: identifying how exactly the author’s purpose and audience determines effective writing, developing pieces of writing though a process of planning, revising, and drafting, compose an organized essay with clear points and main ideas, used appropriate tone and formality, critiqued writing, and finally how to grasp the MLA format.

    Throughout my English 1102 class I have been assigned to read various works of literature, and create my own works through three essays, several smaller in-class assignments, and discussion. This has included focusing and analyzing different topics and aspects that go into these works. Before this class, much of my literary work would be focused solely on surface material; however, though this class, I have gained the ability to more intently analyze topics and effectively elaborate on them. Before this class, I would read mostly just to know the general idea of what the piece is about; now that I have taken this English class, I have learned to better analyze material. While I already knew about symbolism, and that there can be certain…

    For my portfolio, I compiled my best writing pieces from this class into one folder. I chose which works were the best not based on grade alone, but on how they represent my writing style and how it has evolved and progressed throughout the course of this semester.

In this short essay I will explain why each of these represent me as a writer and show growth in my writing experience.…

    Upon my entry into English 1010-02, my first college writing class, I expected to breeze through the course with an easy-A and minimal effort after my successful completion of AP English 11 this past year. I began the year with the utmost confidence in my writing abilities, and believed that my skills were above par. It wasn’t until I received my score on the essay evaluation for my First-Week Essay- a measly five out of twenty- that I realized that this was not the case. At first, I was astonished that my seemingly exceptional writing skills had not earned me the A that I believed I deserved. However, as time went on I came to the realization that I had not put in nearly enough time or effort into the paper to receive more than a C at most.…

In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine.

To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

Throughout my adolescent years, I would often receive feedback for my writing given by the teacher in the form of a grade. Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
