“Never neglect an opportunity for improvement.”- Sir William Jones. There are many areas in my writing that I need to develop but I picked a few of the biggest and basic ones for my midterm project. Grammar and spelling, linking words throughout my essays, and transitions are all areas I have found very useful resources for.
Linking and connecting words is an issue for me because I find it difficult to combine all the ideas I have in my head and transfer them into my writing.

I also used the information in this website on a Rhetorical Analysis paper for my English class. There were many places in my essay that just didn’t flow well.

I also put commas in places I needed periods so I went through my paper and changed all of those mistakes. This is going to help with any essays in the future because it is free, informative, and easy to
