Reflective Essay Writing

First, I'm a sentimental person. I can control my emotions when seeing the birth or the death in the hospital. Moreover, the seasons change every day, which just likes flowers blossom and wither alternately. It can also cause me to have a sigh. Therefore, writing is a good way which helps me express my own feelings.

My expressiveness allows me to convey emotion while telling a story. This ability has made writing an important outlet for my feelings. I stay away from constructed pieces, and instead use writing as more of an art form. With flowing verses instead of rigid paragraphs, I manage to use my pen as an outlet of my thoughts. My writing shows my passion for the topics I choose to my readers and often looks at a different side of seemingly matter-of-fact circumstances.

Writing became a way for me to express other feelings throughout my young years, but I always ended up writing in notebooks about how I was lonely and felt that I was the source of everything wrong in my life.

Writing is a practice that most of us were taught when we were young. We were taught the basics of grammar, how to form a sentence, conjunction words, how to write paragraphs and more. Although we have learned this skill while growing up and have used the skill every year after entering kindergarten, this does not mean our writing process will ensure the best work. The authors that I chose each encourage their audience to excel in the art of writing in their own way to help with the writing process.

Upon entering English 111, I knew I would be writing papers. However, I did not anticipate how much room I had for improvement. Throughout this term I have been enlightened with so much knowledge that I may have forgotten or have been exposed to for the first time. Certainly, my experience with essay writing has been solidified due to newfound knowledge of proper work citing, MLA standards and the steps of planning an essay.

An online environment has certainly been challenging but throughout the course I have provided solid work and consistent grades commendable of an A grading.

From birth to death, loss is an inevitable part of each person`s lifetime. Most people are loved as soon they come into this world, but are loved by many more when they go. Nonetheless, in the journey of life, people will face obstacles that will shape them into different people than they were yesterday, and most people will find themselves loving another person at one point in time. However, certain circumstances, such as death or a breakup, can cause a person to feel like the entire world is crashing down upon his or her shoulders. Some deaths can be signaled by sickness or old age, but like anything, some do come unexpectedly. The same trend goes for breakups as well. Sometimes, a breakup can come as a shock to one person or both people

I totally agree with what the author is saying in the text. It takes time to get a good product out even though we think some people are deep and wonderful they still have the same struggles that we have when it comes to writing. I like this text because it is realistic it is giving an account of first drafts from common day people and shows how it is even for professional writers have problems with. This point is important because as people we sometimes feel we are not as good or capable of doing something not realizing that the people we look up to have the same problems we do. Another point that I agree with the author on is that you have to start somewhere. Many times as writers we don’t know where to start when it comes to writing. That being said we will just sit and think for ten twenty minutes when we could've just been information on the paper and then editing it later. In addition I liked that the author used examples from his professional experience when it came to writing food reviews. By him using details like how he went to the restaurant and sat down with friends and took notes of what was said. This was good to me because it helps me connect with him and the things that he does to write his reviews.

     One of the techniques I am going to use through out college is talking to

Sorrow flows forth from the soul of one experiencing an ending relationship. The loss experienced reaps a new kind of depression, where it feels like part of the body has been ripped from ones hands and thrown into the wind. Anger arises with wings of a phoenix, desperate to replace the tears on ones face with fists in the air and leaves the body breathless on the ground shaking with exhaustion. It is nights of lonely music and cold bed sheets. The internal pain of losing another individual with whom one has shared part of their life with compares to nothing else.

I do not usually write outside of school, except for the occasional poetry writing. I am not a good poetry writer, but it helps when I am stressed, mad, or sad because I

so yeah to pass the time I am doing something I never thought I will, I write. I know that I usually control and express myself through art but there isn’t exactly a canvas and aquarelles in front of me right now so I suck it up and decide to write my feelings down even if it makes me weak.

Before I came to college, I felt my writing had to follow a certain pattern and be fixated around one way of thinking. What I was fortunate to learn was quite the opposite. Writing does not have to follow any certain pattern, but can rather be structured through many different possibilities. I was also told in high school that my papers either had to agree or disagree with the given topic, even if I believed otherwise. This formulated a very one-track way of thinking when it came to my papers. Now I know that I can let my mind explore new and exciting ideas. I can agree, disagree, compliment, criticize, and question the author however my heart desires, as long as I have the evidence to back myself up. Many authors in the book, Writing About Writing, explain their processes as well as the processes of others when it comes to writing. As a writer, I can draw on my own processes and relate them to the authors, as well as use their ideas and apply them to myself. Through reading, I have learned new methods of invention, planning and revising, and incubation when it comes to writing. All ways I can use to create more meaningful and creative work.

Throughout my childhood, I have written short stories and poetry that seem to help me express certain concerns or feelings without having to get mad.

I learned a lot throughout each io, learned about how each little thing that affected Suskind affect Grenouille. Grenouille was basically affected by the mindset of Suskind but also the setting in which Suskind lived. Suskind lived during the cold war an era in which everyone felt that the world was going to end. Suskind was effected mightily by this so he was probably thinking he was dying and that the world was coming to an end. Grenouille also wasn 't considered human because he also did not have a positive state of mind because the setting was always changing and different from all the other people in his world. While reading Perfume for myself I often viewed Grenouille like Society did, as a freak who shouldn’t live on this earth. But these orals helped me understand how I was judging and not accepting just like society was towards Grenouille. I wouldn’t like to be judge either for all my flaws or just because someone says I’m not good enough. Yet society still had some sort of sympathy towards Grenouille even though they viewed him as a monster. Grenouille was a normal human that walked on the same earth as every other human. He just wanted to be accepted and loved like everyone else.

Being a human being comes with several feelings and experiences that shape who we are, some favourable and beneficial some shattering and distressing, one of the most common is that of love, Love is the single most celebrated human emotion, though nevertheless love can end in heartbreak. A broken heart can be considered a painful empty feeling or the writhing of the soul. The Urban Dictionary defines a broken heart as ‘the feeling of complete devastation, and extreme sadness after a break-up of a relationship or loss of a spouse/relative.’ Throughout history, a vast body of literature examines its influences and explores its meanings. Typically, poets and authors examine love's countless virtues. Numerous poets have commented on the nature
