What Is The Weakness Of Writing

Improved Essays
Writing is one of the things that comes easy for me, but I feel that my real weakness stems from not wanting to read. Although, for the few books that I’ve read in my life, I did enjoy the reading in most cases after I got started. I take it that some people love to read, so they assume that their students or their peers feel the same way, but nothing could be farther from the truth when it comes to me reading stories.

My struggle for this class will be reading all of the short stories. Once I read the story, I can very easily put the stories into writing, and give my feelings about the author and what I believe he was feeling when he wrote the story, or the message that he was trying to convey.

I went home and read what I had written; I saw the grammatical errors and the improper use of words. I didn’t proof read my paper, and I paid the …show more content…
When I completed my English class, I didn’t consider myself to be an award-winning writer, but I knew my work had become legible, understandable and I knew how to construct a sentence. I guess hating English when I was in high school really showed up in my adult life, but now as an adult I find it one of my easiest subjects, because I feel that I’m very creative when it comes to expressing myself, or giving my opinion on stories that I’ve read. For example, my reading is more technical, and that to me is mandatory for the work that I perform. I’ve even lost a good job for my inability to communicate on

    I connect with this quote because I believe it is a very accurate description of myself when I do not write. For me writing gives me the ability to get out of my own head. Writing allows me to put my anxiety on paper. Everything that I can't stop obsessing over leaves my head, enters my fingers, and befriends the paper. When I can not write, in a way it is my own form of insanity.…

    Literacy Narrative I view myself as an average writer and reader for my age. The guidance and support from others is what I believe supports my literacy the most. This consists of my parents pushing me to do my best by encouraging me to read and write better by their support and guidance through assignments and doing other forms of literacy for entertainment.

    In the quote by Christopher Columbus he states “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination” I thought this quote pertained to me because I know this year there are going to be many obstacles in English class, but if I just push myself I know I can reach my goal. As a reader and writer, I believe that I have grown stronger over the years. In the past, I did not like reading at all I would try to get by with reading as little of the stories as possible in order to pass. I felt this way until this summer when I started to read the books for English.…

    This is when I first began to have problems writing; well it was a problem to my teacher. My teacher didn’t understand why I couldn’t write the “right” way just because I did hold a pencil the typical way. My teacher sent home clay for me to use which she said would help strengthen my hands and fingers to help write the typical way. She used to become infuriated with me and would actually yell at me whenever she caught me writing the way that I still do now until this day. My parents also became very worried about me at this time.…

    I have always considered my relationship with writing to be very insignificant. Although I enjoy spending time verbally expressing my thoughts and feelings to others, it becomes difficult when these thoughts and feelings are expressed through writing.

Being unable to effectively organize my thoughts and ideas into words and sentences, I would feel reluctant to continue writing confidently whenever I received an undesirable grade.…
