    first formal essay of the semester. This paper was about my Grandfather's tradition of singing in Italian to me. My thesis was not very compelling and quite juvenile. The paper is full of grammatical mistakes. There is an excess amount of missing commas. Comma placement was something I definitely struggled with. There are spelling mistakes and capitalization errors that I could have easily corrected if I had spent more time on revision. In this essay, my main strength was my detailed description…

    paper a writer tends to have some sort of strength and some sort of weakness throughout. With each ability that a writer has, whether it is a strength of organization, order of thesis or a strong introduction or it is a weakness such as catching a comma splice, or being just below the length requirement, resources are available to improve.
