Reflection On My Writing Style

I have figured my essay out, and I hope that it is not like a “report” right now. Could you please help me to check it, and give me some other comments too?

I have set the essay aside for a few days and now I am in the process of small scale revision and self-evaluation. I will go back and re-read my essay, reading only what is actually on the page, not what I intended to write. As I read, inserting any additional information that I think is missing. I have printed out copies of my essay for my sisters and a co-worker to read, asking that they highlight any correction of any grammar or sentence structure mistakes, also asking that any additional notes, that I may have overlooked be written. Overall I just want to make sure I am hitting all the main points

After reading your essay, I think you did a good job on this assignment, especially on reasoning your proposition. I like your introduction paragraph the most. By narrating your personal experience with writing, you introduced your problem associated with writing that “writing only for assignments” and made a very good transition from your story to the proposition which clearly stated at the end of your first paragraph “Once I felt that what I had to say was meaningful…I started to enjoy writing more and more for the class”. As a reader, I was told what you are going to say at the next few paragraphs after reading your introduction paragraph and I expected you would say more about why you think that made you enjoy writing. But when I continued

I do write in a different voice than the one that I use in my personal day-to-day interactions, but it also depends on the style of writing and the situation. There are various kinds of papers that I have had to write in my academic career, such as, persuasion, argumentative, literature reviews, research, reflections, compare and contrast or descriptive. My voice in these different types of papers changes depending on the style I am writing; I am still the same person, just portraying my personality and voice in a different way. I believe this is one of the easiest ways to appeal to a certain audience and to attract people to read your writing.

As a writer in English 102 I learned different styles and techniques when writing an essay. Even though having to transition from high school to college was really difficult to comprehend. Especially, the learning styles that I was given such as hegemony, ideology and other cultural studies that I wasn’t familiarized with. However, I take my time off and fully understand what these concepts really mean. I started to read the big red book and take notes about cultural studies in class. Hegemony and ideology started to make sense. I can understand how our society shapes these cultural studies. Especially, wealth because this power can truly change people. That is why power is only meant for certain people, it also makes sense that if every individual really want power our society would corrupt. Imagine everyone in our society having lavage lifestyles. The economy will go downhill because who needs a job when you have lots of money. Also, they don’t even want to bother the things concerning our economy and/ or our environment. It is why applying cultural studies outside the classroom can help understand the importance of power. The example I mention also creates

When writing an article or assignment, my biggest issues with my writing style are losing focus, using active and passive voices in the wrong tense, and providing too much research. Keeping information short, precise, and on topic is important for a writer. Having three main ideas to focus on helps both the reader and writer understand the information being provided. The main ideas of an essay should be evident in the introductory paragraph. Along with staying focused when writing, I struggle with mixing active and passive voice. This mistake confuses a reader and causes a paper to receive bad marks. I plan to study more on verb tense and the correct usage and include this in my revision of the assignments and discussion boards that I do. The

Being able to articulate your words in such a way that captures the true brilliance of a mind at work is very important. Writing seems to happen both instantaneously and with much forethought. As each writer deepens their prowess in literature they develop certain techniques that help them when writing. These techniques may very depending desire of the outcome. This is true for myself. There are three things that I find to be very important when i'm writing any sort of paper. Listening to music, making a an outline as detailed as needed for it it will carry me through the extent of the paper, and the final step is xxxxxx.

I provided a lot of detail and I feel that it delivered my message. This essay was also The easiest because , I just had to write about me no research was necessary. Which is what made writing this essay fun. In the prewriting stage of this essay i got my ideas in bullet points before getting started. In the first draft writing process i chose to use a brainstorm chart to outline my essay before I typed up my first rough draft. During the diting process i got suggestions from my peers on what my essay was missing or what I could improve on. I take all my suggestions and I improve my writing from my rough draft to my final

Throughout my semester in English 131, I have gained many improvements to both my writing skills and my writing process. One such improvement was making me think critically on my essays in both this class and another class where we had to write essays. On all of my later self-reviews, I constantly gave way below what I was eventually given, and that helped me so much, by changing my essays so much more than what I would have done originally. That is evident by how my grade has steadily gone up on each of my papers. The memoir that I first wrote was my first ever graded that was really beneficial to my grade, and I got a 44 out of 50. The next paper that I wrote was a profile, and I got the same grade on that as my memoir. The first improvement that I had was on the review essay, and that was only by one point above the other papers that I wrote. Lastly, the best improvement that I have had was with my final paper, a proposal essay. On that essay, I got a 49 out of 50, a major improvement to my other pieces of writing.

From the second I was learning to write simple words in kindergarten to the hours spent writing essays in college I have always strived toward becoming a “good writer”. What can make a successful writer is the proper understanding and usage of rhetoric, knowing your audience, and engaging in critical analysis. Yet each time I was finally starting to get better at articulating my point of view or finally mastering the new writing style in my classes, the definition of good writing changed. Each grade level had a new definition of what good writing entailed and each time I had something new to learn. In elementary the early definitions of good writing was writing simple sentences to formatting paragraphs. While in middle school you started to

A lot of things happen in humans’ life, ups and downs, rights and wrongs, choices that can be optional and unavoidable choices. Among those choices, I chose to be here at University of Arizona, studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. As the requirement to be student here, I took English 107 class in semester of spring 2017. Being international student in a foreign country is not easy. At the first time I came at UA and the first general education class I took required me to write 10 page research paper, in APA format. I ended up writing 3 10 pages essay in order to pass the class. At that time I was taking English 106 class, but I wasn’t that much ready to write 10 page research paper. Now, after taking English 107 class,

The biggest feedback I got for this essay was to fix my grammar and consider rewording a few sentences. I did use all feedback and did reword many sentences and fix the grammar issues.

First it is not properly structured, no intro, body, conclusion it's more like just rambling on about a subject. Next I noticed it was not broke down into paragraphs. These are some steps i would take to make it a better essay, along with using better words and restructuring some sentences. After completing units one through four I can now understand how hard it is to read an essay that is not written properly.

There are several ways in which I thought I could have improved my essay. I am writing this justification paper to mention a few.

This was one of the very first story I wrote in this class and I have come so far from then. The grammar was fixed from this and I had since then added more vocabulary words. I felt that when I was peer reviewing others essays, the biggest issue was grammar so hopefully I had that fixed. I also hope that I can improve from here on out; I love that the essay was something that I could write about and we had time in class to write the draft and finish the final draft. I believe that this essay describes something I wish I could kind of have--a chance to be a sports star and end with a killer game or in my case--a killer senior year. I felt that this essay was very well writen in the first place and only got better with my revisions. The point of the this assignment was to write about anything that interested us and that we could write five pages about. I felt that this exceeded even my expectations especially since this was the first essay we wrote after our summer essay. I loved how this essay flowed out from my creative juices that come from my brain because this seemed to have written itself. The words seemed to have come out of nowhere to write this beautiful piece of art. I changed the grammar and made sure that the characters in the story had more backgrounds so that it also fit the criteria of the rubric and that the overall essay could hopefully get the full points. I also hope that this essay gets the full points because this will meet the
