The process of how I wrote assignment 1
I thought this essay would be easy for me. As I read through the prompt, my high school English teacher, Mr. Fine, immediately appeared in my mind. And many interesting and impressive things about how he taught me also pop up in my mind quickly. Besides, this essay was literacy narrative. I thought the feelings, the anecdotes and the comments would be more subjective than those in argumentative essay. The only thing I worried about is that I only write literacy narrative essay twice before, and I still not sure about how to well organize this kind of essay and how literacy narrative should look like.

I finished my first draft in about one hour. I “pile up”

    Ogene Ochai Professor Thomas Writ 101 9 September 2014 Literacy Narrative Moving to the United States was a very hard transition for me. Learning how to speak the American English, and learning their spelling words was so difficult because I was raised speaking British English, learning the morals, culture and how you guys communicated with one another was also a hard part of moving down here.

    Does rejection or determination push you to go beyond the limits of what one expects of you? Most everyone would say it does, but does this only affect those of us who want to be writers? It definitely does not, nor is it limited to anyone of a particular language. People of different backgrounds, all have the same urge to learn something not entirely expected of them, even if it is just a different language. The writings of people, while very similar, have a great number of differences.…

    I second all of the points brought up by Chris in his responce to your incredible writing. I was deeply moved by your literacy narrative. By simply having the pleasure of spending the past month or so with you, I would have never known about the part of your life that you wrote so passionately about in your literacy narrative. I often find it so intriguing that everyone has a story that resonates so deeply with him or her. That is exactly why I think large projects such as Humans of New York (HONY) or class assignments such as this one are so important.…

    Throughout my entire school career, I have been frustrated at my math classes, but it wasn’t that they were going too fast; it was that they were going too slow. Every opportunity to move ahead I was given, I used. When I was given the chance to move up from Algebra II to pre-calculus, I studied for hours every day up until the day of the test came. “Beep! Beep!…

The farthest I had ever traveled from my hometown was twelve hours to Orlando, Florida for family vacation. I learned about language, reading, and writing in school.…

    The Literacy Narrative was sort of a trial and error project. I wrote the essay the best way I knew how and hoped for the best grade. I did though get to tackle a more creative aspect of my writing that needed much working on. Since this essay was based on our own experiences, it allowed me to be as creative as I would like rather than being confined to the requirements that something like a research paper would have. Despite this, I still realized that my Literacy Narrative was not my strongest paper.…

    Throughout my exploratory essay there was an objective tone instead of a subjective tone. This tone helped me write an efficient exploratory essay in which I include factual evidence and textual analysis towards the topic of segmented assimilation in which specific generations go through, as they adjust to a new culture and society. Instead of including emotions and my opinion on the situation, I had to use historical resources, via web or journals, such as social studies. The medium of this paper is a typed and printed essay.…

    The second essay that I revised was my Narrative essay, in this essay I first reread the whole essay. When I finished rereading the essay I went to the introduction and read it again, I then realized that my introduction lacked a good thesis and a hook, so I changed my boring introduction from “July 6, 2016, as I stumble out my house to the sound of a car horn honking only to realize it was my friends in the car impatiently waiting for me to get ready.” to “Have you ever let jealousy motivate you to do something bad? Well, I never have, and this is why. July 6, 2016, it was one of my typical summer nights; me lying in the bed on the phone with my friend Tamica waiting for someone to text me with plans.”.…
