The Importance Of Writing

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.

Growing up it became apparent to me rather quickly that reading was not an option. Whether or not I particularly enjoyed it, I was going to have to do it – for the rest of my life. It was not until half way through high school that I began to value reading and writing. Before, I saw reading and writing as more of a chore, or something that I had to do. Though now, it is something that I have more of an appreciation for. Reading and writing have become an outlet for creativity, expression, stress, and much more.

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

I remember when I was in elementary and I used to think the writing was pointless. Especially when FCAT was coming up and we had to write an essay twice a week. As I got older I know realize writing is not stupid at all. Writing is on the same level on knowing how to read correctly and fluently. I believe writing is important because it help you express who you are as a person. Another reason why I feel writing is so important it helps you communicate and think very effectively. Writing also is needed in every job in order to complete a task. Although there are much more reasons why writing is so important.

I do not think of myself as a very good writer. I feel that my writing is always scrambled, and doesn’t quite flow like it should. I do like to write however, if the subject interests me. I would much rather write about a topic that I know a lot about, and care about. If I was to write a paper about dragons, it most likely would not be written very well because I don’t care about that subject. I like to write because it is something that I think can be fun. It also is a great way to express yourself in words.

Writing is one of the most important skills you can have in life. Being able to construct high-quality papers, among other things, is key. Not only to get a point across, but to accurately give information, or some just like to do it for fun. I write so that people can easily understand what the point is that I'm trying to get across. There are so many different forms of writing that people can utilize however they want to, whether it's for research purposes or for creative purposes. Being able to write well is a skill that can be utilized daily and can is very beneficial whether you have to write something for school, to write a resume and to type something up for a job.

I have never viewed myself as a confident writer. When I write papers for school, I usually spend more time stressing about the paper as a whole rather than performing the actual writing. If my teacher were to ask me why I write, my reply would most likely be, “Ugh, because I have to.” But lately, I have noticed that I have spent a lot of time writing, the past few years, without the pressure of being graded. I learned that writing helps me somewhat organize my thoughts that seem to be chaotic and all over the place. I write from the deepest part of me, because I feel I have to.

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?

In order to bring to pass what God has called you to do you have to put it down on paper or on your computer. Keep a note book with you or something to write with at all times. The Lord will speak to you in various places and you need to write it down so you will not forget.

Throughout the course of this semester we have learned various writing techniques that have helped me grow and improve as a writer. By acquiring the necessary skills for writing from this class and pushing myself to further improve on these skills, I can now apply my knowledge to future courses that I may take. For instance, while I may not be required to do the same project, I can use the same principles that we learned from units, such as, argument analysis or revision to complete another assignment. While I might have had some experience with the lessons from this class, I still had room to improve and the evidence for this can be seen throughout my course work. In this essay, I will present several artifacts as evidence to prove how I applied

Writing is considered to be a meaningful way to portray thoughts in my opinion; writing is ultimately very valuable to me, and I love writing about things regarding my life in different locations. I consider myself to enjoy writing in most circumstances; therefore, I often write to clear my mind, sort things out that are consumed in my life, and enjoy writing for school purposes on particular occasions. Furthermore, writing can be a clever technique to pursue in order to sort out things that pertain in my life. I have reasons to believe writing certain emotions or events that dwell in my mind on paper can be a method of organizing my thoughts in a healthy manner. Consequently, I have noticed that I tend to enjoy writing pieces that incorporate

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.

All throughout my public school education, the majority of my writing consisted of persuasive essays. While I have grown to become confident in my ability to produce this type of writing, when I started college, I felt lost writing research papers. The steps to writing a persuasive essay is so ingrained in my mind that it was hard to break out of that habit when my assignments required a different method. The only significant research paper that I wrote was during junior year of highschool. However, it was only a three and a half page assignment. I definitely felt my confidence waver when writing the research paper for this class. I feel like high school didn’t prepare me enough for the amount of writing that is expected at the college

In this course, I have developed a variety of skills through reading, writing, and discussing the literature that we have read. The skills that I have developed from reading materials presented through this class would include the skill of annotating as well as the ability to better comprehend poetry. What I mean by the skill of annotating is that previously to this class I haven’t completed much annotation in my studies, and so when this class came along it really showed me how to annotate a piece of writing properly. In the beginning of the semester all we read was poems so during this time we annotated a great deal which really sharpened my skills of annotation. I started to learn what to look for within poems along with learning how the proper way to annotate/interpret something within a piece of writing. As the semester continued, we started to read more short stories rather than poems. When it came to annotating short stories, there was a different process to it. Rather than annotating every line in a poem, you would only annotate a few things within the short story. For example, you would annotate elements in a short story that were confusing or you just wanted to discuss it when we came together in class. After we finished up the short stories, we began reading full on books. Now think about it, you can’t annotate the whole book because we simply don’t have time for that, however, the only annotation that I ever did between the three books that we read was when I

Narrative writing is a story that can be either fiction or nonfiction, but needs to contain a purpose or lesson. The lesson learned from the story is the theme. When reading books, I do not usually look for a lesson. This has given me a new perspective on narratives. I love to read, but now when I read I try to figure out the purpose of the story. Stories have always been an escape for me, but now I can find the purpose of the story. I have learned many different lessons from the short stories in this unit. In the story “Getup”, I learned that I should always be myself and should never change who I am. Maya Angelou argued that “you will always be in fashion if you are true to yourself” (30). Moving around a lot has made me feel like an outcast. I moved to Georgia in the middle of eighth grade and wanted to be the same as everyone else, so I started wearing tons of makeup. I was young, naïve and did not want to be different. Now,
