Improved Essays
A scrupulous writer is someone who is diligent and faithful in his work ensuring that the text they produce is excellent and of the finest quality. This writer will thoroughly process the theme of their work to “avoid perverting the original phrase” (Orwell). This author would also perform different purposes of writing, like expressive, literary or persuasive, to ensure the skills they possess will continue to advance. Likewise, the proper use of different patterns of writing, like description, process, or evaluation, is another aspect a scrupulous writer possesses. Practicing different types of writing will ensure a scrupulous writer continues to advance in their skills. This type of author would also have another reliable source look over …show more content…
I start the essay by giving background into where this principle was created in a short story that shows why I value having special moments captured. However, I don 't say why I 'm sharing this belief. The background information into the purpose for writing this essay fails to tell how I believe in the importance of capturing life 's moments to last a lifetime. My essay doesn 't succeed in sharing why I shared the idea or principle I believe in. Is what I shared fresh enough to have an effect is another question that I didn 't think about when composing my essay. Because it is a question that wasn 't considered in the creation of this essay, my text lacks an aspect of scrupulous writing that is necessary in order for it to be a good paper. My essay doesn 't answer this question and, therefore, doesn 't succeed in being a scrupulous piece of work. Additionally, the lack of a call to action in writing ensures the reader has no further engagement with the text after they initially read it. “Capturing Life 's Moments to Last a Lifetime” doesn 't succeed in ensuring that the image has the well thought out and desired effect on the audience. Stating my purpose for writing this essay, and for composing my text in a way that affects the audience, are two aspects of this text that need to be improved. While my initial piece of work is an acceptable essay, it doesn 't include two important aspects needed to be an essay written by a scrupulous

    To me, writing is just ok, nothing special. It definitely isn’t something I get excited about. My first formal writing class was in 6th grade, where we followed The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s curriculum. My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing.…

    I have always believed that teachers shape the people we become. They influence us just as much as our family. I have been fortunate enough to meet four extraordinary teachers along my educational path. They taught me not only how to improve my writing, but life lessons that made me the thinker and writer I am today. Mrs. Ceci was the first teacher who brought me out of my shell.…

    Writing has been my talent since grade school; I couldn’t sing, or dance but I could write, or so I thought. Then, I entered high school and realized that writing required a lot more than it did in middle school. The brisk pace and advanced comprehension skills required for my English three AP course caused my grades to suffer. I have struggled with college level essay writing tremendously, but through hard-work I have been able to write with more ease and finesse than ever before.…

    Sitting at my desk in english class, 15 minutes before the end of the period, feeling a small sense of deep inner satisfaction from my work in the previous double period of Draw/Paint level 4, I held a piece of paper in my hands pertaining the information and guidelines of a common app essay. Somewhat confused, I stared blankly at the paper. The bolded words of the length requirement and the due date stuck out against the pure white like a needle through the skin of my finger. I felt a deep sense of dread as I was trying to brainstorm an immediate idea as to what I could write about. I thought of the lessons I learned from my father on right and wrong.…

    Allow me to explain. In the beginning of my essay, I discussed how healing occurs through writing (Nash's point). I did this by sharing my dilemma of feeling conflicted between two different priorities: romance and school. My first perspective was self-reflective, because writing allowed for my brain’s thinking to slow down and process my point of view.…

    Reflection is to revise, to rethink and to take a step back and make sure something is at your best preference. This term is one that I always knew existed, but didn’t apply it to my own work or to my own life. However, now that I know exactly where to apply it, I realize it doesn’t have to be only in education. It could be used in education, in one’s career and life says Sandra L. Giles. It’s interesting because I know exactly what it is, yet I never found the urge to actually apply it.…

    To be completely honest I have mixed feelings about writing and I don’t really have any memorable experiences that made me feel this way, it is just the experiences that I have had with the subject while trying to apply it. I struggle with what to write down mostly and creativity in general and I don’t really excel at any part of it. If I were to say I “excel” at anything it would be revising my work and adding to it. At the end of the semester I hope that I have relearned some key writing elements that lack of practice has caused me to lose.…

It has really taught me more about the understanding of the writing process and structure, in which helped me to not focus so much on the actual writing parts.…

    Throughout life, we learn different lessons be it from a teacher such as your parents, guardians, spouse, etc. or just going out and living and collecting experiences. From these, we grow and become the person we are today. We learn to shape us into the person we are and motivate the things we do and believe. I believe heavily in three core things I’ve learned in my life through experience. These core principles are Trust is something earned, sometimes you must think outside the box, and don’t let the bad moments outshine the good.…
