as my introduction into the class that is composition. In this class I have written a couple essays so far, and this one will serve as a reflection of an essay I have written previously. The essay I wrote previously is titled “Anxious”, it is a descriptive essay about what it is like to suffer from an anxiety disorder. Since then I have improved and I am only continuing to get better and better. In my essay the easiest part to compose was probably the use of metaphors and similes to describe…

Introduction Looking back at my essays from my first semester in Composition I, I can definitely see that I have improved tremendously. My learning from my Composition II was not so much about learning concepts, but it was more about improving what I already learned last semester, and adding onto it.

This was the first essay I have written since my first quarter starting at UC Davis, so starting this essay, I already knew it would be a challenge to revamp my writing skills. This essay especially challenged me because it was a descriptive essay, and I have always struggled with being descriptive and creative. This was also the essay I chose to revise at the end of the quarter, which allows me to employ what I have learned into an old piece of writing. I titled this essay “A Bite of Relief”…

know the writer’s purpose. Many different aspects play into why someone writes what they write, and that’s what makes their essay memorable. Personally, the most memorable piece of writing that I’ve ever constructed was my college essay for the University of Central Florida, and those same aspects; exigence, context, constraints, and audience are what helped develop my essay.…
