I really do not recall any essays from middle or high school, but the one I have done in college have not had this type or devices. I do know that I have a horrible spelling problem and eventually end up with sentences on my essay that I do not even understand, like the Aldof Hitler error. (I just can’t see how three people did not notice it). Peterson would probably…

reading, I was taught to read an essay and if I don’t understand it then I reread it. Sometimes I take notes but when I do, I have a hard time picking out the main ideas and then rewriting the notes.

High school papers were extremely concise in a way that a student was not allowed to think too far out of the box; ideas were stifled. This semester I was able to write essays on topics that I could relate to. Some topics included the Black Experience, which is something that every black person has to go through.…
