Essays

During my first essay I started out with the impression that I had done some of my best work and that there was no way that I could receive a bad grade on this piece of work. After reviewing the feedback I received I found that my work was not up to APA standards. The narrative that I wrote was more of a creative writing piece and barely a scientific piece. I thought that this piece was going to be great because I was very descriptive and visualized most details of my experience. I thought it…

When it comes to writing a paper punctuation is the most important part because without it the paper would just have run-on sentences everywhere it would be a complete mess. Punctuation is what keeps the paper organized looking good it makes the essay understandable if there wasn’t any punctuation the reader would just get completely lost in the story and that’s exactly what the writer doesn’t want. Punctuation has always been one of my weakest points in writing; I have struggled with it since…

works of writing, I would have to say my favorite piece was the argumentative research paper. This was a great essay because it was a free range topic and I got to write about my own interests. Also, I got to do an abundance of research on something I enjoy. I felt that I was more likely to put forth more effort in an essay that I picked. On the other hand, I did not enjoy writing the essay on Brave New World because it was a book that I had difficulty understanding, and I did not enjoy reading…

because I had a hard time writing this essay. The Visual analysis essay was one I struggled with at the beginning because I could not figure out how I wanted to structure my paper. I took this problem to Professor Clark and she showed me some examples and helped me with some ideas on how to set up my paper. I decided to use the first half of the essay to describe everything in the ad, and the second half to analyze what everything in the ad meant. I feel this essay was one of my strongest…

or what they had in store for me. Somehow through crying, panicking, and feeling frustrated, I managed my way through each of these essays. Some were harder than others as usual, but even with the hard essays they seemed not as bad in the end. There was always a sense of relief when clicking submit and knowing that I will never have to write that particular essay again. Although there were ups and an abundance of downs, EN 101 has taught me how to…

To me, writing has always been busy work and something that teachers only used to create grades. My writing experience in high school was very limited to one category in: practice AP essays. The writing I did in class was always preparing for AP exams and was very fact based. Most essays, such as history, were only used to show that I knew the material and weren’t graded on how good the writing was. I didn’t feel like I had any freedom to stray away from the format that the AP graders expected…

The essay topics given throughout the semester were difficult to pick a topic to write about. They were very broad, and there were time’s where I did not understand the topic to write about. The handouts on each essays were very convenient, but I think it would be useful to have an example of how to break down, and write each essay. I remember being stumped on the reflection essay. We did not receive a handout for that particular essay, and I was trying to understand the…

or not, I am 40 years old and up until two semesters ago, I didn’t know how to write. Ok, maybe I knew how to spell and make sentences, but to bring an essay to life, I never knew I was capable of creating such a complex, entertaining, masterpiece with sentences. I will never forget, Alexandria C Piland, my English 0950 teacher. The dreaded Essay Writing class that I procrastinated all year to take. It was spring semester, how could I ever forget, the same semester when the unthinkable in life…

I did my best in the take home essays because I was sure I couldn 't do a good writing in class. Because of the factors of time, stress, and panic my two in class essay was horrible. In the class essays I should have to work a 15 minutes brainstorming and a 45 minutes writing. In my normal conditions I spend more than eight hours brainstorming and a whole day writing…

Some of the essays that I have written in the past have opened doors to new ideas. These essays have helped me make connections I feel I never would have made without writing. I believe this is because I enter my deepest level of concentration when I write. This heightened level of concentration I reach when writing has allowed me to reflect on important areas in my life such as self-awareness and motivation. Self-awareness is a topic I learned about after being assigned an essay. Before…
