well you use those words. It is not about having the perfect arrangement but arranging it such that readers are not distracted from the intent of the essay.

already know they have. In my World Civ class, we got points taken off every time we wrote something wrong. That includes comma splices! I feel like, in that aspect, this class has given me an advantage in my college class. I think it's going to continue to help me even more when I’m actually in college too. Some of the most beneficial things I've learned about were comma splices, “show, don’t tell”, and about establishing authority in research pieces. I feel like if there's anything I should…

Process Writing In the process of writing my project two essay, I used only one prewriting strategy which was the free write method. I used it one time and since I was interested in my topic I was able to generate my paper of that free write within hours of free writing.

error I went back and made all my verbs in the past tense. This helped avoid any confusion about the timeline of the story and fixed that grammar mistake. I also had several comma splices throughout my essay. These sentences were very long and could be confusing to read. I went back through my essay and broke up the comma splices into two or more smaller sentences. Some of these sentences were less complex, but it allowed the reader to better understand what I was trying to convey. For example,…

When it comes to writing I do not believe I am a great writer. I struggle with writing as well, I am not capable of producing great writings. I have had horrible experiences with writing. I say this because I am just now in my second year of college. Since I waited to come back to school it seems like I have to learn everything all over again. I doubt myself way to much when it comes to writing. To me writing has and will always be my downfall. The last time I wrote a paper was in the spring…

more than an album and how special of a project it was. Even though I am proud of most of the essay, there are things I would like to revise if given the chance.

Before I entered English 101 I had some knowledge of writing itself but, different types of writing. Transitioning from high school English to college English was a major difference. In high school, we wrote more descriptive and narrative essays. Writing essays in high school was not that complex as it is in this class. My teacher was more lenient with the grading, the structure, and the requirements that were needed. As a class, we didn’t really base essays on writing in general or how writing…
