Dr. Horgan's Struggle

The art of writing is a complex and difficult process. Proper writing requires careful planning, revision, and proofreading. Throughout the past semester, the quality of my writing has evolved significantly. At first, I struggled with the separation of different types of paragraphs, and I found writing them laborious. Constant practice, however, has eliminated many of my original difficulties, and helped to inspire confidence in my skills. As a collegiate writer, my strength lies in my clear understanding of the fundamentals of writing, while my primary weakness is proofreading my own work.

In the context of 1996, where Richard Harwood claims the average American admits to more knowledge of what actors are on television programs, rather than the people that have been voted in or appointed to represent them in local and national government, The average American voter feels alienated. These voters are alienated to an extent of which they feel they have very little ties to the political system of that time. Harwood references a much older document that illustrates the modern day plight among the voters. He does so to say that this problem isn’t one that is new, but is one that has caused trouble for a long period of time.

A few areas that the writing specialist pointed out in which I need to review and refresh. 1. Fully

To further emphasize her poem, the poet introduces the idea of how “the world’s more than the sum of things.” Through this, the theme of dysphoria is introduced as the character’s whole life is altered when they realize that their life is plain and dull and everything she has been taught of how to live is completely incorrect. Harwood lives in a society that subjects women to live a certain way, which is becoming only a housewife as well as breeding and nurturing children at a young age. This poem brings forward the idea that the character finally comprehends that there must be more to life than what she is living. The poet includes the connotation of how “the world’s more than the sum of things” instead of explicitly stating the epiphany the

The final weeks of my first semester in college are coming to an end. My Columbus State english class has written a total of three projects, and a total of four papers. There are a lot of grammatical issues that, at the beginning of the year, I had issues on. However, I have improved on these errors drastically, and have become a better writer because of it. Even though I am still working on many aspects of my writing, I do believe that I have become a better writer. I believe that my biggest issues while writing are run on sentences, making a strong thesis statement, and having quotes stand alone at the beginning of a paragraph.

I have never had a huge interest in reading or writing. This is mostly because I was never really good at it. Throughout my educational career, I have struggled immensely with the basic fundamentals of writing; grammar in particular. Even when I asked my teachers they refused to help me. It seemed to me that they cared more about my personality rather than my academic ability. I began to struggle so much that tutors became a part of my everyday life. My mother was forced to read to me because I could not find the motivation to read the book myself. I was very fortunate to have a good high school English teacher my senior year who motivated me and helped me get caught up. I still feel like that I am behind in terms of grammar and communicating effectively. My goal in this course is to not only improve my grammar skills but also get better at expressing my ideas more clearly. I believe that this can help me towards my goals to be a front office executive for a professional baseball team. In that position, I will have to be able to communicate my ideas as clear as possible both on and off the paper.

Writing this class is really a challenge for me.I never thought I would spend so much time writing.This is something I've never had before.However, I will turn the impossible into a possibility in this semester, and I believe I can do it.Because there is a good saying that you don't try to see how you know you can't do it.It is true that I will complete my challenge in this semester and keep moving towards my goal.In the future, my goal is to be a good salesman, and this skill is absolutely indispensable.To convince a person, you have to present your own points of interest and strong empirical evidence that you are right.Writing this class is the best way to strengthen this skill.I want to talk about how I grew up in writing and how much skill I learned.I'm going to tell you what I have encountered in writing and what challenges I have and how I overcame him.There are three challenges that I find difficult.At the beginning, the Internet quotes a strong and powerful argument to support my article with the use of grammar and paragraph architecture.

The number one writing issue that I have and is needed to be improved is to use proper vocabulary to illustrate my feelings because there were several feedback that state this both by the instructor and writing tutors. For instance, I referred leaving comfort zone as “experiencing magical power of unknown” and the instructor stated that these words don’t go well together even though she gets what I

English is a hard language to learn, for there are numerous elements of effective usage and writing. Many people, including me, struggle in writing because of a lack of knowledge. Since middle school, English was not a strong suit of mine. I struggled with the simplest of tasks often taking a considerably longer time to complete a task than the other students. Unmotivated teachers and a lack of interest resulted in remedial writing skills. To put it simply, I had little confidence in my writing and I dreaded taking the class because of the writing involved. In spite of my fears, I took the course and I was able to perfect and challenge my mediocre writing skills.

Over the course of my studies at university, I have grown and learned more about academic writing and numerous writing styles. I believe there is so much room for me to master my writing skills to succeed and complete my degree and improve my academic writing and personal skills through more practice. However, I have become concerned with my first attempt submitting my piece of paper through the online test in the Writers’ Diet diagnostic tool and was labelled ‘flabby’ in my writing. Analysing my errors and referring to the textbook ’Communication Toolkit’ by Grellier and Goerke (2014), also submitting my piece of writing to Grammarly and paper rater I was able to measure my weakness in the area of sentence structure, punctuation and grammar.

Throughout my academic years roughly until my senior year in highschool I wasn’t the best writer. I lacked in several areas such as grammar, organization and substance. With the help of my senior english teacher and you, Professor McGee I have grown immensely. I have excelled in freshman composition, receiving mainly A’s on most of my papers. Professor McGee has helped me gain diction, structure and grammar skills along with plenty other elements that will all in all help my writing in the future once this class is over.

So you are taking the Monday 15 May flight? No worries, I can contact Gaylord and have them change the reservation to start then. So far only Dr. Shaughnessy seems to have incurred any main issues with them which I have not resolved. Plus, to me that will give you more time with your children and with so much uncertainty in the world cherish these

Over the course of this past semester, my ability to write has improved tremendously. Prior to undertaking this course, my expertise in writing was not as fine-tuned as it should have been. I had never previously been enrolled in a class specifically tailored to writing-- which was quite clear. Upon reading my past works, it becomes apparent that my writing style consisted of fluff, small words, and inconsistently structured sentences. These problems have, for the most part, been remedied with the coursework I have tackled in College Writing. Rather than long, drawn out papers that take an eternity to reach the primary point, my recent work is much nicer in terms of composition and grammar. I credit these improvements to the three primary

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

Over the past few months, I have learned several different writing techniques. While all of the different types of papers were difficult to write, I believe that my writing skills have improved. In fact, I did not understand all of the assignments, but I did try to do my best on all of them. While I should have used more transitional words in between sentences and paragraphs, I feel that I learned a great deal. It is true that I have not had very much writing experience and the writing process is difficult for me. Sometimes, I do admit, it takes days to complete one assignment, but it will be worth it when I am a proficient writer.
