My Writing Class

What is the Meaning of Writing? Writing is enjoyable, calm, dreadful, and ghastly. These are some example of what people say about writing. It’s how people express themselves. How we tell others our stories, adventures, and our heroes. It is how we communicate without talking. Authors write to show their feelings, experiences, or stories they want to share. Take others to their own world. In fact writing means different things to everyone.

My personal definition of writing: Everything, I experienced in my life, which triggers off my thoughts and feelings. It lets me desire to express the wonderful meaning through the words.

In writing, making a good paper isn’t as simple as putting some words on a paper and calling it good. It is something that takes time to perfect.

What I meant was that she should just grade the composition portion of it and not the capitalization, spelling, punctuation, and any other grammatical errors.

This semester has proven to be challenging and time consuming, but upon completion it was worth it. Throughout this diminutive semester I have gained a vast deal of knowledge in literature. The topics I have explored this semester introduced me to new information and concepts. Writing a paper can be deemed as a personal challenge, writing is more than mindless thoughts tossed around on a piece of paper. It is a personality of its own, writing is its own art and it truly introduces creative thought. Writing is truly a gift, and will only continue to develop.

Reflecting back from the beginning of the semester, I can honestly say that I believed that I was already a really good writer. However, I have struggled with the thought of writing. Ever since I was little, I dreaded the thought of writing essays, but when it came down to get the job done I never struggled and always earned good grades. Up until around half way though this semester I still had this fear. I am thankful that this class has made me overcome the fear and thought of writing essays, even though when it was actually time for me to write them I did just fine. Throughout this semester I have mastered and learned the techniques of brainstorming, how to properly construct an outline, the different types of introductions, and much

Coming into this class I did not know what to expect. Also, I did not know I would learn so much about myself by just reading deeper into literature. This class has definitely opened my eyes to a new style of reading. I wouldn't say I focus on every word when reading books now, but I would say I think deeper about the meaning of a few lines. I do this because of the specific words that are used and the order that they are placed in. I’ve definitely taken what we have learned it class about reading in a different manner and applied it to my everyday reading.

Your class, English Composition 110, has helped my further my knowledge on the various aspects of creating a college level paper. This has been done through the numerous in-class discussions, lectures, and finally helpful guidance that you have provided throughout the semester. As we began this course, your introduction into the topic of fallacies not only was precise and easily understandable, but also set the tone for this class. With that being said, the amount of communication between yourself and the class, led to the ultimate success for those who put forth the effort. The help of your lectures early on, led to the smooth creation of my first argumentative paper. Without the direction given on this assignment, and many others, confusion would have taken hold. As the final half of the semester began, your examination of how to successfully write literary analysis’s, as well as argumentative research papers, essentially led to the proper formulation of each. I am most appreciative that you gave this class the opportunity to thoroughly research issues within our major, due to the amount of knowledge I was able to gain, both in this class, and for future marketing courses.

First and foremost I want to thank you for devoting you time to give back to aspiring RST professionals through the means of education. This class has really solidified a foundation that I look to build upon in my future endeavors. Not only was this class challenging for me, it taught me more things about myself than any other class I have participated in.

With the beginning of college soon arriving, it is expected that the work and effort required to maintain good grades will be much more challenging compared to high school. But the early start writing class has shown me a glimpse of what the college life will be like. This course helped me realize that to succeed in college on must be responsible, keep themselves busy, and help others. I feel that doing these things will make my experience in college easier to get through.

When I first entered College Writing II, I was a bit nervous. This is because I had not taken an English class in over seven years. All I could think about was writing and how terrible I am in grammar. Throughout this class my perception of College Writing II has changed. I think I have improved tremendously in my organization of writing and with my grammar. This class has helped me to understand when I am writing a paper, I don’t just jump into it. I need a thesis, an argument, ideas and evidence to support the argument and a conclusion. This skill that I have picked up will help me while perusing my social work degree. In the field of social work you are required to write many reports that are read by others. Therefore your writing must be clear and free of errors. I feel that I am well prepared to take on those task due to the skills that I have learned throughout this class.

To me, writing requires the strength of making logical words or composing text on paper. Every day through magazines, books, and poetry are examples of when writing is being utilized. Even though it is hard to express my feelings through essays, writing is how I express my thoughts, motivate others, and pour out my feelings.

When people think of writing, they usually refer to those who create novels, short stories, and poems. However, writing is the ability to write fluently in multiple forms and to know how to persuade a particular audience. With any other skill, writing takes time, patience, motivation, and practice. As a matter of fact, knowing this makes people quiver when they’re asked to write an essay. Writing also helps people realize what they are interested in and what they’re not interested in. Since writing is something people struggle with already, it becomes more complicated when they have to write about something that doesn’t intrigue their mind.

An activity that has many positives and negatives is writing. It allows people to bond, have a challenge, and express emotion. However, in a similar way it can create many problems. It can cause confusion, hassle, and under importance. It transcends language, people, and time. It allows creativity, and understanding among generations of people. Writing is essential to begin a process of expression. It permits two people to understand similar trains of thought.

Writing is like swimming through a plethora of words. Diving in may immerse you, but being able to navigate to your desired location while creating a current that allows others to follow, offers meaning to function. What is writing? For many, writing is simply letters placed on paper, no more, no less. We have each heard someone say, it is not what they wrote but how we interrupted the words. Words may only mean what we want them to mean. Words have no power.
