When comparing my first essay to my third essay, my use of quote integration has improved profoundly. The sandwich…

as I walk away from my English 102 class I carry the understanding of writing a college level essay, undertaking research and completing a research and argument paper properly, and knowledge to prepare me for my other classes and profession. The fear of writing a college level essay always crept in the back of my mind. Formatting, wording, and my professor’s expectations concerned me. The first essay I wrote for English 102 class, “The…

Before I enrolled into Comp II, I knew how to write an essay, but my strengths were limited. I have never been an excellent writer, so I knew going into this class, I was going to struggle with improperly punctuated, weak body structures, and weak sentence structure. I feel like I have so much to say, but can never get my point across clearly. Sometimes I feel like I could write a hundred-page paper about everything going on in my life, but it never seems to make sense to other people. I try my…

Once I was finished reading essays from NPR’s series “This I Believe” I found that the essay “Tomorrow will be a better day” by Josh Rittenberg to be extremely entertaining whereas some other essays lacked the ability to keep me interested.

Now, I feel even more confident about my writing and know that all of these little changes I can make in my writing create a better flow of ideas and a higher level of formality. I feel that throughout…

writer, but after the first few essays I realized how much I could truly improve upon. The writing topics and prompts we were given each taught me something more about writing, how to structure things, or simple writing tactics that could make my essays better. I’ve never been good with writing formal essays, but this class taught me how to be a lot less informal in my writing. One of my biggest problems throughout the semester was implementing transitions into my essay. Throughout the semester…

speaking and listening, and writing skills. In reading by itself I’m a B student, in speaking and listening I’m a D student, and finally in writing I’m a B student. In the future and other essays I plan on improving my skills with more practice and a little more time in these categories, Based on past essays, work and feedback I will be explaining my opinion on my grade. As a reader, I see myself as a B student rather than an A student. When I’m reading I’m aware of roadblocks that occur, but I…

My first assignment in my first college English course, Journal #1, really expressed how naive I was in writing formal essays. My first journal began with a cliché opening sentence “Nothing worth fighting or working for is going to be easy” (Rattotti Journal 1). My last essay, “Knowledge”, began with an appropriate introduction about my suitemates little sister, foreshadowing my feelings here at Quinnipiac.
