with the way one writes, people learn how to write starting from elementary school and work their way up building on from previous knowledge, so to completely unlearn the rules of writing would be like starting over again in learning how to write. This is because writing is not just putting thoughts on a paper. Writing style, techniques, word choice, etc. all go into how…

The publishable draft of the Self-Reliance Argument Essay changed dramatically when compared to the first. Both the vocabulary and comprehension improved as dead words stopped being used and built a higher lexicon. Each writing surpassed the other when it came to clarity, creating bridges using research proved to be onerous which only led to failure at the beginning.

In the entering the conversation essay, I lost focus on the fact that we were not writing the paper to our instructor but to people who cared about the conversation of our paper or have already entered the same conversation. Knowing who your audience is was very important when…

I learned how to write through literature for the most part but I also learned by building from the ground up.

I did, of course, improve my annotating by writing down more of my thoughts and by analyzing the writer’s use of rhetorical devices and…
