The Importance Of Writing

I love writing as much as I can. It allows me the freedom to be someone else. It gives my imagination the freedom to be wide open. When I write, I want other people who read it to understand what I am writing. I want my story to get the audiences’ senses working. I be sure to write my own ideas and thoughts, so as to not plagiarize anyone’s work. Writing is and should be a free-thinking love. Most writings are going to have a beginning, middle, and end. I like to have all three portions of a story because it gives you details you need, to stay interested. You should be sure that people can understand what you write. Loving what you write can have an amazing effect on what people read. I don’t think there is enough reading and writing going

Before starting school, I incapable to write or speak English at all. Because English is my second language I had a hard time understanding how to read and write in English. My parents and older siblings would often teach me the basics of having to know my numbers, ABCs, and by making me memorizing saying simple sentences and questions. English is everyone in my family's second language and because we did not grow up learning how to speak, read, and write in English which made it difficult for me when school started.

Writing and reading for me started really young with me. I was learning to read and write before I was 2. My mom was teaching me and I had a Phonex person come to my house and would help. I was a year younger than almost everybody else in my kindergarten class. I was able to go into school younger because I scored high enough on a test I had to take. I was always reading books when I could when I was young which is why I was able to read bigger words than most kids my age could. I was able to read at a 4th grade level when I was in 1st grade. This all fell in place because my dad was always telling me to read and write when I had free time if I wanted to be better than everybody. When I was younger I always trying to be better

As a student. I felt very uneasy before reading it knowing that the level of difficulty would be unimaginable. Though, within the “prequel,” I was already mesmerized by the beautiful writing and kept me captive. Read with an open mind! This Fleeting World also encourages and sets up a wide variety of debates and thought experiments. Which if read within a group of students would be very lively. Thus, audience is meant for those willing to learn big things in little time. Also adding graphics of maps, illustrations of tools and quotes that become more and more relevant the more is read. It’s even better to be able to read the chapter, look at the pictures and not be left with any questions visually. A great summer read for many. A piece made

When I was younger, I’ve always had a creative mind when it came to free writing, but reading had influenced my writing. When reading fictional stories this had developed my imagination immensely because of how creative authors can be with their stories and I’ve always thought outside the box. The role of reading and writing has become a huge impact in my life. The importance in my education is to have knowledge in what you write and read as you get older these two areas tend to have more complex skills divided up into different sections.

Is cursive really that important? I'd like to think so, but at times goes on it appers to be headed towards extiction, like so many other seemingly timeless things. Like many things though technology is taking its place. Are we just making life easier on our selves or are we getting rid of a good thing?

As a student who has now been in college for a semester, I think that writing exemplifies how well you do in college. Others may argue that writing does not play a big role in determining if one does well in college or not. As I stand by my opinion of writing playing a big role in how well someone does in college, there are many things you still have to do over your years in college.

I believe I learned to write either in pre-school or in kindergarten. It wasn’t anything special, but I know I could write simple words. I’ve always feared having to write in English classes. It’s never been a huge part of my life. Growing up my parents definitely thought reading and writing was important, but because my father was a math teacher I don’t think it was as important to us as it was to other families. I do not believe that I’ve ever been a great writer. I can get a B at best usually, but I’ve never felt like an excellent writer.

Writing is an extremely important aspect of which is lost in our lives. In every American school, English teachers taught students how to write and connect the words together to form a sentence. As time goes by, writing is becoming complicated and begins to require foundational skills: grammar, organization, and other complex editing. Although the focus on grammar is important, it can’t deprive students of imagination and creativity. I like writing things that come from inside of my mind and don't want to be confined by the grammar rules. The problem with less freewriting is the texts were written without emotions and communication. Cars cannot drive without gasoline, gasoline is the main source of power; the writer’s main source of power is a voice. Therefore, the teacher can only teach the basics; the real writing is looking for your voice.

Many students complain about writing an essay or writing in general. I am not going to lie I complain too. I do not like writing essays, but I get it done. Surprisingly, I have exceptional writing skills. Well, that is what my past English teachers have told me. I have never really realized that recently in my life I have been writing a lot of stuff. I have wrote ideas, opinions, lyrics, and even my dreams on a sheet of paper. Altogether, writing became important to me even though I hate it sometimes. Writing positively affected my life because it helped me let out my emotions, showed me what I truly think about certain things, and helped me compose music.

An elephant, dog, monkey, and fish are all told to climb a tree. Each one of them will receive a percentage based off of how far up the tree they get. The monkey is an adept climber and can reach the top of the tree with ease while the elephant can hardly jump, let alone climb up a tree. Common core forces uniquely different students to perform the same task and scores how well they do. It does not necessarily reflect who they are and all of their abilities, but rather pinpoints a few skills for assessment. Common core acts as a single formula which has been predetermined to work for all students based off of a geographical region. It is impossible to tailor to everyone’s needs but we should not assume that everyone learns the same. Teaching writing by using a formula lends itself to common core standards and might not necessarily help a student become a better writer.

Although I take honors language arts classes, reading and writing is not my forte. As someone who naturally gravitates towards math, I try to find definitive answers to questions. Unfortunately, in literature there is never just one answer. The beauty of literature that appeals to a lot of people is that there is usually never a wrong answer or interpretation of a text. Anyone, including myself, can find a unique connection, symbol, or meaning in a piece of literature. The only thing that you can’t connect literature to is mathematics. A piece of writing is never as easy as x=5 or plugging in a formula to interpret a text, and though it might seem like an obvious enough statement about literature, I just recently learned this lesson. About a year ago I walked into Mr. Harbison’s classroom for the first time, completely unaware that his class was about to be the hardest, most stressful, and anxiety inducing class that I would take, I was also unaware that his class would be the most important class that I took coming into high school.

The biggest thing I learned about other writer is that even “professional” writers struggle to write for one big reason and that is because they are their biggest critique. For me I don’t struggle to come up with ideas it is when I finish and reread my paper and feel it is not right. How does one build self confidence to turn in or publish their original ideas with no hesitations?

The ability to be an efficient writer is a skill that any high school student should strive to attain. In order for one to get to such a status, one must put a significant amount of time and effort into his or her composition classes. Once a satisfactory writing ability is attained, one can use this skill to get into a superior college, or job. This is the reason why writing is such an important factor of life, without it, one cannot advance efficiently without encountering mental barriers. Before the second semester, as a writer, using advanced and proficient vocabulary became problematic. Moreover, writing a developed and hooking introduction was also one of my main concerns. Furthermore, I also encountered many difficulties writing a solid conclusion. I excelled in writing essays with solid concrete details and good commentary, which was good since most of the essays I was assigned were either persuasive or argumentative, and concrete details/ commentary consist of the majority of the essay. The problem is, once you get to junior year, not all essays are argumentative or persuasive, creating a issue that can only be resolved through the right education and some dedication. Which is my reasoning for taking intermediate composition, over advanced comp, AP Lit or AP Lang. This felt like the right decision considering where I stood at the time with my limited writing ability. Furthermore, after taking intermediate composition, it seems to have been the correct decision

Reading and writing doesn’t connect with me, compared to everyone else. With reading and writing being one the major struggles I have, it was and still is very difficult for me to find my true reading and writing skills. In high school, I was in Adv. English courses throughout the 4 years, and I was an average kid in the class. We are forced to read a lot of articles about today main topics and issues, romantic story poems, and novels such as, Beowulf, The Tempest, and To Kill a Mockingbird. But my absolute favorite reading that we did was, Edgar Allan Poe poems. The way he uses that evil, dark, and scared tone, is what gets me the chills in a scary way. But with all other novels that I have done, I couldn’t really get into the readings. It then carried on to my free read and it was the worst part about English, because I don’t like to read for enjoyment and this would also go for writing as well. With writing, I can never get my thoughts on a paper correctly, so I would always be afraid of writing any type of essays, including this one. I feel as if writing were a punishment for me, because it takes so much time, thinking, and processing my thoughts or ideas for an essay. Summary, research, and argument were my worst enemy in high school. But with creative writing, I feel most comfortable doing, because I feel as if it's an easy way for me to express myself by writing whatever I'm feeling inside. It’s been a rough time with both reading and writing, this then puts my
