English 101 Critical Thinking Analysis

My Final Thoughts
These are my final thoughts on English 101. I believe people never stop learning and this class is a prime example of it. This class helped me in more ways than one. It helped me with punctuation, comma use and expanded my vocabulary. It has pushed me to think and analyze things in different point of views.
Two papers come to mind that made me critically think about stuff. One paper is the bullying paper.

So this paper was a joy for me to write, it really brought back old memories.
The other paper is the homelessness paper. This was my second favorite paper. This essay was amusing to me because the town we live in is trying to fight for their mission to stay open. I learned

It was tough for me because I didn’t understand what to compare if I picked a certain topic like apps, money, online dating, or who made the websites. So I went standard and did it on traditional dating and virtual dating. Only things I knew I could compare with. This topic was so broad too. It had way too many choices to choose from but wasn’t clear enough for me. I could relate to this paper because I have done online dating but I never thought what I could compare it too. This was the most challenging writing assignment I had to do this whole semester just because it was so broad and didn’t understand what I could compare it

    Another thing to notice is that everyone has bullied another person at least once. I think the subtext of the article is that bullying happens all the time in school and that it is actually a serious social issue that needs to stop. The article mentions “ I don’t see how it is a bad thing.” This goes on to show that bullying in reality is a serious problem because it sometimes leads…

    It is now recognized that bullying has enduring adverse effects on both the bully and the victim (Sampton 2009). This aggression is especially harmful to the bullied students. The targets are more likely to experience low self-esteem issues, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. Further, they may resort to self-medication (substance abuse), become suicidal and withdraw socially (Ball 2011). Their victimization may make them lose interest in schoolwork, attain low grades, avoid school more often or even drop out altogether.…
