My Major Strength

Decent Essays
In my story, I thought that the major strength was my intro. I really liked how it kept the reader hooked and were wondering what happened and how she got in the situation she was in. I also thought that is was cool that the story started with outcome of the end of the world and how she was all alone and ended with it.
After my first draft I was given feedback to revise on the sensory details with certain things that happened to her so the reader could really feel how she felt. I agreed that that would make the story better. So the part where her mom died, I put way more detail in how she reacted when she found out that her mom died. I also put more sensory details when she was woken up by the sounds of bombs were going off and how she felt and stuff like that. I think that made it so much better, because if kind of brought life/reality to the story.

Another thing that's was suggested was that they didn't understand why the U.S. lost all money. I decided not to really put in major details about those parts just because I said in my story that the government said “ No more money!” And I stated that no one knew why. I also didn't go into detail on the era and what it was like during that time like with technology, because the point of my story was about the end of the world and how one girl survived and I didn't think that technology and stuff was very important because it didn't have anything to do with my

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    Reading the first part of the story I did not think the story would end with finding a dead man on the ground. My feelings toward the story were surprised because the way the story started off there were no clues of the ending. In paragraph 5 things started to turn around because he authors gave out warning of what was about to happen. I was also surprised at how little Myop reacted to finding a dead body. The way she reacted was not usual for a ten year older a regular ten year older would go crazy but instead she was willing to do others things to find out what was going…

    Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am. Learning is listed as my top strength in the survey (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I believe I have used that trait extensively throughout…

    Kite Runner Strength

    A prominent strength I took note of as I was reading is that I take time to understand the story, rather than quickly rushing through the novel. As I was reading The Kite Runner, there were many circumstances where I would re-read pages or take a moment to stop and think about if what I was reading could be of importance later on in the story, if I thought it was I wrote it down. I would rather take a longer time to read my novel so I can remember the details of the book and make sure I understand the plot as well. This also benefited me later on when analyzing the novel because I was able to remember details within the story that I may not have noticed if I did not stop to understand them. Another strength I noticed whilst reading is the fact that I recorded quotes and events that stood out to me throughout the novel.…

Personally I feel like my two strongest assets when it comes to writing are, Word Count/length and Use of Support Services.
