I would say this was a good class that helped me out by getting more into depth in my papers because every day after out class we would have to write a one page journal and that was something that I would always check on the way I organized it and my grammar. It was something that helped me with cultural perspectives when it came to writing my own paper for English because I never really thought of other cultures and how they write an essay. Being a part of writing in all of my classes was a big help for me not only this semester but from the start of college.

Images of my blue and white spirit wear quickly changed to be maroon and gold.…

But, I did learn a lot that I would not have known otherwise from having to research information about the topics I chose to write about. For example, in paper #2, I wrote about the niqab and how I believe that it is oppressive to women.…
