compare. When I start to review narrative and descriptive essays, I have to try to understand what separates the two. I chose to compare “Caged Bird”, by Maya Angelou as my Descriptive essay and “How to say nothing in 500 words”, by Paul McHenry Roberts as my narrative essay. To me these two essays set themselves apart from each other, not just because of the different styles of writers, but the meaningful message that was delivered in both essays. While both of these essays have a strong message
first day of class. Honestly, I was very worried that I was not going to have a clue on what I was going to be learning in there luckily this was partially true. I will explain why I say this by talking about my strength, weaknesses, and improvement in this class. A strength I realized I had while in my composition one class was that I was good at using quotations whether it was quoting an article or quoting a person talking.

How Personal Responsibility Will Lead to My Success Personal responsibility means to me holding yourself accountable for not only the successes in your life but also your downfalls.

Composition 1 this semester has been a tough one. From day one, I knew that this class was not going to be a “walk in the park”, so I tried to prepare myself for what was to come. Throughout this semester, I have recognized my strengths as well as my weaknesses , and I still continue to struggle with a lot of them to this day. Through it all, this class has been a journey that has taught me a lot. When we first began to write our descriptive essay, my confidence level was sky high. I thought that my
Reflective Essay of this Course The English skills I am walking away from this course are very tremendous. Whether it be my writing skills improving or just learning simple English things that I didn’t have a firm grab on or I never even learn.
