Revision

all three of my interpretive essays were vague and confusing for my audience to understand. Because of my controlling purposes being confusing, the rest of my paper subsequently wasn’t coherent for my audience. But, the revision period came at the perfect time to begin revisions on my essays. Throughout this reflective project, I would like to touch on several things. I would like to reflect on choices I made throughout my essays and how they related to my rhetoric situation, the way my writing…

Before starting the English 111, every student was aware of the expected goals intended. Within the syllabus, a certain set of goals were made aware, and it was the instructors intention to make sure each student met these to the best of their ability. As it states just before the listed items, it is explained that “...this course is to help you build a foundation of critical thinking and writing skills that will be useful to you in college and beyond”. This was fundamental throughout the entire…

My first main global revision was in the second paragraph of my class paper analysis, where I added in Keith Grant-Davie’s distinction between the addressed and invoked audience. I used the definition that I had originally included and I paraphrased how the addressed audience…

Bridging Assignment When I leave sixth form I would like to move on to university for three years to do a degree in English Literature. From there, I haven’t decided what career I would like to do, but I am hoping starting my A-Levels at Post 16 will show me what I enjoy, and what my strengths are. I would like a career that I find enjoyable and very rewarding, and one that I can progress in so that I have something to work for. The requirements for a degree in English Literature at universities…

the paper by paragraph, and sections by revising the organization, style/tone, and its development. During the revision phrase the reader asks themselves questions like the following: Is the argument clear? Does my ideas flow? Are my quality of my evidence good? In addition, eliminating unnecessary sentences, paragraphs and giving advice to extend paragraphs are also part of the revision process. On the other hand, editing focuses on the local issues in sentences such as: spelling, grammar, and…

Going in to GSW 1100, I was unsure of my writing ability. My high school did not focus on writing as much as they did other aspects of English. After my first essay was returned, I had a better idea as to what my strengths and weaknesses were at the college level. I found myself exceling in some aspects of writing, but found myself struggling in others. As Dr. Burroughs would say, “No one is a perfect writer, there is always room for improvement.” I’ve encountered numerous obstacles during this…

that is a hundred stanzas long before you. As a writer, I find it a nice challenge to keep a piece short because you suddenly must be more selective to what you wish to include. With the poems I included in the portfolio, the majority of the revisions I made were just trying to expand upon what I originally did. The first poem, “In Leavy Park”, was the poem I chose to radically revise. I wanted to play with the structure…

The assignment I chose to make revisions to was the Resume and Cover Letter assignment. I chose this assignment not only because of my letter grade, but also because I feel this assignment will be beneficial in my future when sending off a cover letter and resume to potential employers. To begin, I made changes to my cover letter. There were a few sentence structure errors. For example, “With reference to your advertisement in The University of Tennessee Knoxville Center of Development, I am…

During the revision process, I focused on the comments that were provided by you to make my paper a better one. I begin to gradually see a difference in what I was writing as I revised. I became clearer on certain aspects of my paper and most importantly I begin to…

The amount of mistakes a human can make is innumerable and I am no exception. Never have I had a perfect paper; they’ve always had issues with the type of language, the portrayal, the grammar/mechanics of the writing, and the overall elaboration of the sentences. These aren’t difficult problems to fix, just careless mistakes. Most of these problems can be fixed with more editing, which comes to the most common mistake of my writing, revising. Although I do revise, I always miss small details…
