Paper Bag Records

When I started this class I was unable to properly write papers. My thoughts and words were all over the place making writing the papers difficult. I didn’t know how a thesis worked and I really had no idea how to use it to setup my papers and go into detail. Now with the understanding of a thesis I can write a paper and use my thesis to go into further detail. Before I didn’t know what a thesis statement was or how to use it to write my papers properly. I always thought that a thesis statement…

Whenever I inform someone that I am currently taking this course, there is a stale, predictable response I invariably receive. “Why? Did you forget to get your extra language credit?” to which I would swiftly reply, “no, I took it because I want to improve my writing”. I ensured I received the necessary credits in those three special categories a long time ago, by fulfilling the requirement in grade 10. I knew that in these bigger, more demanding grades, my course selection should not be…

In my earliest moments of middle school writing was one of my favorite activities to do because I could let go of emotions on paper. Writing was fun but it can also be boring at the same time because it depends what you can write about. When I got into high school writing was a week point. Even though I was not a great writer, I still have some negative and positive experiences that shape my writing today. Ever since I left my old school, writing has clicked for me and has created many new…

My literacy narrative I turned in last week was not a complicated paper, but I had a few troubles along the way. I had just one main problem and it was the introduction. My comma mistakes and trying to include enough support in my conclusion was not a breeze to do either. Overall, the essay was not hard to write about it was just a few little mistakes that I had along the way that made it complicated. My main problem was my introduction paragraph. Writing on my developmental English class was a…

If I were to go back and revise my paper I would try to add to my analysis in the third and fourth paragraphs. I would also consider doing some reorganization within those two paragraphs. I would also take more time to go back and look at my punctuation. I would also seek out someone to read over my essay and give me feedback or suggestions for corrects I might have missed. When I revise my writing I dedicate most of my time to looking at sentence structure and seeing if it makes sense. This…

Was it possible that the paper that I wrote about the newsletter from intermediate computer class that was associated with my career has a rhetorical choice? The paper does have a rhetorical choices for the content about the important lesson that I learned from the intermediate computer class and the lesson was useful for my major in architectural engineering. The paper was created for the audience of the reader that was associated with architectural engineering like college students and…

I have never really enjoyed writing this comes from feeling I don’t really have the skills I need to be a competent writer. However in high school I loved writhing poetry I never wrote a journal but I would use my poems to vent my feeling and to basically cope with being a teenager. This would probably be my most positive time with writing after I graduated, I quickly learned that finding the time and motivation to write was almost nonexistent. With no time or inspiration, I slowly stopped…

I have a interest in reading, writing, and music. Without those three things my life would be peculiar. I admire reading because I am able to escape this crazy world we live in and enter a wonderful alternate world. When I read it feels like I am alone even if I am surrounded by hundreds of people, I am able to tune them out and focus on my book. Writing lets me have control over something in my life and I feel a sense of security when I am writing. Most of the time I feel like I don't have…

Through out the semester my writing has improved greatly. Through out the first paper I discovered I enjoyed writing about events I’ve attended and giving a rhetorical stance about the things that occur at these events. While the second paper challenged me because of the way I had to think. Putting myself out of my own mind and analyzing why something is how it is had been a challenge because it’s something I haven’t done before. While using evidence and social ques had been a challenge going…

Before this summer, I didn’t know such things as memoirs ever existed. As a bias fiction-lover, I do admit that I was alreading judging this kind of genre by the description. However, what I realized was that how interesting a book is, all depends on the reader and the writer. If a reader is forced to read then the book won’t be as good because the reader has the mental state of unwilling to read the book. This could also happen when the reader wants to read the book but eventually loses…
