Ziesmer: My Reflection On My Writing

Reflection: I learned from Ziesmer was how to focus on my tone. How you can work your tone to give the paper its true meaning. I wrote multiple drafts on this paper. I took many different approaches until a found a way to tell a story in a way that was meaningful without being boring. I usually just write one draft and then revise it and turn it in, I never have had to do multiple drafts so that was something different for me. I usually don’t go and get help on my papers, but for this paper I seeked help from my cousin, my friend (a former AP language student), and the writing center.

I think this is definitely a paper I took a lot of time on. I still don’t believe it is my best paper I think it could have been better-I just didn’t really know how to make it better. I got a lot of positive feedback about the paper, but for me I just don’t feel it was my best. I’m more use to writing about a story or a story about myself. I never have wrote a story where I couldn’t just t talk about me and call it a paper. With this paper it was more of a focus on the greater meaning being an experience which is something I’ve never really done. It made me more careful on how I approached my essay, and I think that is one of the reasons I had to make so many drafts. I tried to show how we all grow up and things change witch I think a lot of people can relate to this. I feel because everyone has experienced change in their life the audience would be able to connect this to their life. The structure of my paper was really quite hard. I didn’t know if I wanted to start with a flashback or start with how it was back when I was a kid and how it is now. Finding the perfect structure was probably the toughest part of this
