for I learn a great deal of tips to fix my mistake I need to work on in my writing. The papers I did in English 211c made me think outside the box more than my past English courses. The first paper was the Rhetorical Analysis, for one thing it was a rough paper for me write. I struggle with word choice and tone in the paper, as a result causing me to do not so great on the paper. The Rhetorical Analysis paper was about analyzing the rhetorical position and to use rhetorical appeals from several…
Throughout the semester, I had found this class challenging especially with the post lab reports. I found the post labs difficult because there was so much to write and mention. If I had gotten one part of the lab wrong, a lot of my results and labeled parts of the graphs would be wrong as well. In order to make this class successful, I found myself starting the post labs as soon as I got out of lab when it was fresh in my memory. Writing up the post labs was very time consuming so starting…
When I first received Spare Parts at orientation two months ago, I did not think I was going to have to read it. I thought the common book would be more important for those taking an English class, which I am not. Although I did not think I would be required to read the book, I thought that it may be a book that I would find interesting. I rather read non-fiction books over fiction and initially planned to read Spare Parts over the summer. That being said, I found that I did not have time to…
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…
