I began this class, I loved to write persuasive essays. I loved to write about my own opinions and I was quite good at convincing people to agree with my stand points. To convince others to agree on my point of view was an extraordinary feeling. I am very good at getting my point across and giving my reasons on why I feel the way I do about a certain situation. I loved writing persuasive essays because I love to read them as well. I love how persuasive essays have a call-to-action; giving the readers
“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think
I have written a billion essays (not really) and not a single one has helped me write a tweet, or a caption for my Instagram or snapchat posts. Infact all they have helped me do is express deeply rooted opinions supported by preconceived notions. Even when I’ve provided research for my essays, that research has almost solely been a means of supporting an opinion I already held. I feel as if my life has mainly consisted of writing essays. Ever since I could remember, these things have determined the
argumentative purpose. This really showed in essay one and two, but improved in essay three and four. In essay one, I struggled with communicating the argument to the reader which was the main purpose of the essay. However, i also struggled with describing Pearce’s argument without using a lot of quotes in my essay. Before i revised essay one, it failed to help the reader understand Pearce’s argument and i received a grade of 62. I realized that my essay lacked argumentative purpose when you wrote
statement makes the readers wonder about what could happen to them if they ever get put into this position. Putting this sentence at the end makes the essay more influential. Meanwhile, the story builds up to the sentence, and then that sentence leaves the readers wondering, and thinking about our right to die. For the most part, Huttman’s essay was exceedingly entertaining and I enjoyed her work. Huttman used suspense and emotion throughout the entire piece. Huttman explains, “Each time he stopped

A week ago, I was assigned to write a persuasive essay on plagarism. On whether I thought plagarism was wrong. I had to use two sources that the insstructor had provided plus other ones I wanted regarding that topic and my perspective of why I thought it was wrong. The essay did not have to be extremely long. I started by looking on Google Advance Search for things that were related to plagarism and the different type they were. Looking at all the different types, I decided to simply write about
that have made my essays very persuasive and well rounded. More importantly though, this class taught me the importance of receiving feedback from my readers and peers in order to convey my message effectively. I am now very confident in my writing and I am going to talk about my journey through English 1010. Throughout my high school career, I was always taught to only include my opinion without providing counter arguments. This fall semester however, I had to learn to write essays without being biased
“Is Google Making Us Stupid?”: An Analysis of an Effective Persuasive Essay The essay “Is Google Making Us stupid?” by Nicholas Carr highlights how having access to unlimited amounts of information changes the way that people process information. Google may not be making the population “stupid”, but in the eyes of Carr, it is changing the way that we think, and thus, making it progressively harder to focus on long pieces of writing. Because people can seldom focus on long pieces of literature, they
the class, I received the ability to organize my essay better. However, there are still some aspects that I could improve by applying. For example, the part that I still can improve is the tone, the thesis statements and the PIE part. Firstly, the tone of the essay will give the audiences a simple idea of what they are going to learn from my essay. If the tone is inappropriate, it’s easy for audiences to misunderstand the main content of the essay. The prompt suggests a kind of audiences that have
