bumpy road to get where I am now. It has been a bumpy road because the subject English was where I was the weakest. It started from learning my ABC’s to writing two to seven paged papers. My literacy journey started in elementary school, then middle school, and then high school. It has not ended there because I still have college to go through for more learning. My learning path in literacy has come a long way. In my elementary school days, I learned how to say my ABC’s, how to write, and how to
started writing our essay I realize that in order to come up with any ideas for the paper we had to chew on one thought for over ten minutes. For example when I read the sentence that we wrote about fast-paced live of professionals that reside in the city, I remember that just that one sentence took us about fifteen minutes to finally use it on our paper. It seems like we should have done some free-writing before we started this assignment. When we started to write this essay we didn’t have a clear
made to break apart body paragraphs and to create an increased sense of separation between paragraphs, during large subject shifts, as the author uses a series of asterisks to separate paragraphs. The piecing together of a story, with very incohesive short stories and pieces of information, is a stylistic choice in itself, which is built upon in this instance as the author uses this technique to create a coherent
seriously, and the teachers did not take pride in their teaching. My grammar and punctuation skills were weak, and the whole thought of writing a four to six page essay was a very stressful thought. At the beginning of the semester I had already learned more in writing then what I had learned in my whole four years of high school. I have passed essays two and three and have started to see my writing skills progress as the semester goes on. The progress I have made throughout the semester is why I feel I
low 80’s after writing what I thought was a good essay. I would struggle to get B’s in middle school because of it. Then I got into highschool and had you for a teacher. I started to get 85’s and 89’s and occasionally a low 90 on essays. During my freshmen year my writing improved greatly; however, this trimester has been even more beneficial than my first class with you as a teacher. This trimester has shown me various amounts of ways to write an essay. Whether it's expository, persuasive, or narrative
2:00 A.M. finds me in front of my run down glowing laptop screen yet again. I’m waiting for inspiration for a large-part-of-my-grade essay. My parents, who don’t know that I am still up at this unforsaken hour, are asleep in their beds just feet away from my room, sleeping away to the daylight: they don’t wait for the final moment to get stuff done. I take huge chugs of Mountain Dew Baja Blast mixed with Red Bull from a paper cup; it’s the sweet nectar from the Gods of Procrastination Paper Writing
perception with others but also can generate new ideas. Also, I have my own way to formulate a writing, and both story writing and research writing are two of my favorites. I face many difficulties in writing but I have learnt how to work with them. Normally I would write my writing in a certain procedure. Starting with observation, I read articles, news, historical events or even things happen around me. Then, I will start to brainstorm. By searching more ideas inside my mind, I will structure an
In the “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost the last line says, “And that has made all the difference” (Baym. Nina, and Robert S. Levine p.736). To a person that has never read this poem they probably would be lost and confused as to what was just stated, but it is all about how you take it. The great thing about poetry is when you read it you can take away from it what you want. Everyone thinks and feels differently when they read poetry, and that is why I have chosen a poem by Robert Frost called
Orwell in his essay “Why I write”, written in 1946 and published in London, addresses the reasons that made him become a writer and eventually sets four main general principles that are the main drive force for every piece of writing. “I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention and my initial concern is to get a hearing.” By showing his inner drive to write he portrays a greater picture about writing as he shows how one writes consciously
focus on my main topic when writing to make sure my key idea is clear and to the point. Many people have the problem when writing essays or any information with sticking to their main points. They tend to trail off and lose focus on what their main topic is and they lose their audiences attention. I found out that this is my weakness in writing and I found some ways how to improve and fix it. Before you even begin getting into your paper, you need to go in depth about your main topic.
