Reflection On Writing

The beginning of the scientology community began in the year 1953 when they created The Church of Scientology (Hubbard, Ron). This religion today is still considered to be one of the newest religions to this current date because science is constantly changing in our world and we are always making new discovery’s that change are view of the world and help back up the scientology community. Scientology effects humans psychological and spiritual aspect of life (Hubbard, Ron). The practice and belief of Scientology is considered to be very taboo in the United States. The reason it is considered to be so Taboo is because it goes against one of the largest religion’s in the United States which is based off belief while scientology is being based

In this assignment, the way where media influences our understanding of deviance will be brought to attention. Crime and deviance have dependably remained a widespread issue within media as a predominant power in present day culture. “The mass media plays an essential part in the development of the criminal justice framework” (Kumar,2017, p.184). Deviance is the act in which the “social standards in society is challenged to warrant objection” (Hudson, 2017, p.73) Deviance can be defined as “criminal or non‐criminal”. (Copes.H,2017, p.8) The essay will include examples as well as links about how the media impacts our comprehension of deviance. This dissertation draws attention into theories such as the labelling theory, control theory and the culturalism theory. In addition to this, a discussion of how the “labelling theory” (Walklate,1963, p.27) links into “moral panic” (Cohen,1972, p.7) which links into “Deviancy amplification” (Kumar,1964, p.184) which then creates “folk devils” (Cohen,1972, p.7).

Writing is an important form of communication. It is a personal process that portrays your thoughts and views to someone else. It is not only an important skill to have for school work and certain professions, but daily messages such as emails, texts, and tweets as well. It can have a big impact on how you come across to certain people. Because of this, it is very important for me to practice writing. I believe that this course has improved my writing, which will help me in many ways in the future.

Throughout the timespan of a semester could you improve your writing to where there would be noticeable differences? When writing for English 1010, I noticed that there was obvious weaknesses and minimal strengths or lack thereof in my writing abilities. In many ways I do believe that I was able to improve in areas pertaining to reading, thinking, researching, and writing.

To effectively revise and edit my research paper, I read it carefully, as I played the reader`s role instead of that of a writer. In addition, I used a number of strategies to effectively revise and edit my research paper. First, I read my paper aloud as I listened for errors. After carefully listening, I was able to identify and correct errors in my writing, including grammar, incorrect sentence structure, incomplete ideas, and incorrect punctuation. While reading, I could stop and rectify the mistake at the point where I could note it. In addition, I read each sentence at a time so that I could digest the structure and identify any error. Prior to the reading, I noted down the common errors I usually commit while writing such as the omission

Throughout my years in school, I did not feel that I was the best writer, my writing seemed terrible and to make it feel better, it showed in my writing. I did not begin to see major improvement in my writing until I took Advanced Placement English & Composition this last year. Before, I received little to no feedback from my instructors concerning my writing. My previous teachers would stamp my papers with a grade without letting me know what I needed to work on to be an excellent writer. When I found out that I would be taking English Composition, I immediately thought that I would not receive any feedback from my instructor. I thought that if I struggled with not receiving feedback from a teacher that I would see every day, then I should not expect to receive much from a college professor in my online class. I desired to be a strong writer. I feel that writing will be a part of me for the rest of my life, so why not try to be decent at it. Applying these skills helps me build a firm foundation for writing essentials. Evidence from three of my ENG 1113 papers this semester suggest that I have made great progress in using quotations correctly, creating a vivid style, and better understanding transitions between paragraphs and sentences in my writing. Reading through these papers, though, it is clear I am still working on improving punctuation, especially with commas.

In August, I began my journey as a college student, as well as a Writing 101 student. I was unaware of what the class would entail, but more so, was unaware of the growth I would begin to see in myself as a student over the following four months. My commonplace book showcases my growth as a writer and as a learning- oriented individual. My five chosen tags encapsulate my semester over time and most importantly demonstrate several skills, specifically exploration and argumentation, that I will be able to use beyond this course and continue well into my future endeavors.

I have trouble writing because my writing seems to be a little “tongue-in-cheek” as my AP English teacher said. (I have a couple unfinished examples that I will attach). I tend to not know exactly what I am trying to say in my essays. It is not that I am a poor writer per se; I just have an issue focusing my writing. I enjoy writing; however, I become engrossed in the way I want to present my ideas. Perhaps it is that I do not know the audience to whom I am writing. I usually use proper grammar and mechanics but that is definitely not enough to write an exceptional essay. In this course, I feel strongly that I will develop these skills. Another concern I have with writing is when it is timed. I have never performed well in a timed writing assignment;

Olympian, Kim Collins said, “Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection.” This quote can also apply to students in school in many different ways. Students always want the best project or writing grade that they can possibly get. While that is a worthy goal it is not realistic because students are not perfect and they are still learning, and developing important skills. In my personal essays throughout the year I did strive for perfection, but I learned that I could not do it. I had to make slight improvements to better my writing for the next essay.

After reading over my summer assignment essay and analyzing the comments and feedback of my writing I feel that I have a lot of work to do to improve my writing as a whole. I feel I had the ideas down on what I wanted to say on my summer essay. It was just difficult expressing them in a way that was compelling enough to the reader. The topics for the essay were not challenging to me because I felt that I wrote a lot about the one I chose on alienation. Throughout my reflection I will discussed the weaknesses and strengths in my writing as well as talk about ways I feel I could improve my writing.

As a recent Egyptian immigrant to the United States, writing is the most difficult subject. In 7th grade, my writing process started to develop with the help of an amazing teacher. Ever since 7th grade I have been practicing wiring to be close to the high school writing slandered. I reached my goal last year when my act writing score is 6 point which places me in English 101. I doubted myself so, I took the Accuplacer test which also, placed me in English 101. I was scared when I saw the results that I’m going to fail this course. After taking this course, it made me more confident in writing and showed me my writing level which needs more practice. This class helped me improve my writing skills, by getting great feedback from my instructor

Over the course of the semester we have written multiple papers with an assortment of topics. Writing the various papers has expanded my writing skills because each paper required different skills to satisfy the requirements of the paper. Through the various strategies we have learned in class I have improved my writing tremendously through using clear and precise language, considering feedback, and incorporating and explaining evidence.

In the beginning of this semester I didn't like writing at all. I had a lot of difficulty when it came to writing. That was my only weakness in high school. But as I started taking basic writing, I have made a lot of progress. Before I had trouble to put detail in my essays, but now I am confident. My attitude toward writing went from negative to positive during this semester. Some aspects of the class have helped me strengthen my writing, I have builded some strengths for myself as a writer, and I know I made a lot of progress by reading my most successful essay, and by comparing my early essays to my more recent ones.

Reading page after page so far this semester there has been a few things that has really opened up my eyes. The first would be to be really detailed about my writing and not just throwing it together; before I wouldn’t think about what I was going to write and I would just start typing, whatever I came up with I turned it in. I never once revised a paper or reread my papers because truthfully I didn’t really care I just wanted to be done with the assignment. Another thing that stood out a lot to me was the free write strategy. It is my personal favorite now, it really helps you get all your thoughts out but not worry about the really important things. After I get all my thoughts out I can just go back to add more to details to the paper.

Interpretations of artworks have been widely valued among the art world for centuries. Arguments whether an artwork means one thing, multiple things, or nothing at all is a question that circles the art world, and cause art critics to disagree when interpreting a work. Nihilism, monism, pluralism, intentionalism, romanticism, anti-intentionalsim, and post-structuralism all contain philosopher’s theories that can give art viewers the key to giving meaning to a creation. I prefer the views of pluralism, and post-structuralism when looking for the answer of how to interpret an artwork such as J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series as with most fictional books. Pluralism does not contain one completely right answer, but can disregard certain
