...Final Summary At the beginning of the year, I expected to hate this class. I have never enjoyed writing whatsoever. But now that I’m looking back, I surprisingly liked this class. My writing skills greatly improved over the year. For example, on our first paper, the Educational History Narrative, Paper Rater gave me a 73. With every paper I wrote I improved point by point. On the last paper we wrote, the Argumentative Research paper, Paper rater gave me a 92. With my scores improving, the difficulty to write my papers decreased. The most challenging paper was the Ad Analysis paper. For my analysis, I chose PAM cooking spray. Looking back on it, this probably wasn’t a great idea. The ad campaign I chose only had two short one minute commercials....

...research paper on an individual that had a great impact on Black History.” As soon as I heard the announcement, my heart beat increased and my palms began to sweat. Literally, I dropped my face on my desk and whispered, “God help us all; I’m about to fail this class.” I had a gut feeling that the assignment was going to be difficult and time consuming. Immediately I imagined the many hours that I would have to assert on the assignment, and the thought depressed me. Little did I know that doing the assignment would bring me one of the greatest surprises of my academic life and taught me that the writing process can’t be rushed. Mrs. Fisher paced back and forth in front of the class room as she explained how someone inspired her to become a teacher. At some point I stopped listing and was on the verge of dozing off. Suddenlty my attention snapped back to her as her words “I get to assign you the person to do this essay on” pushed themselves into my consciousness. Up this point I had thought that we can pick our own person and had settle on Martin Luther King, Jr. Mrs. Fisher proceed to assing different historical figures to different students while the fear of not getting MLK creeped over me. Finally, Mrs. Fisher said,”Santiago Torres, MLK.” For the first time in that class, I felt hopeful. 3 days later we had the rough draft due about our person. Well I didn’t do as you can imagine. Walked into class with this guilt feeling that we all get after we don’t do a paper on time. She...

...write about subjects that interest or relate to them. Everyone has their own way of writing, but their way was influenced by another source whether they know it or not. Individuality in writing is influenced through transferability. Technical writing is something that is learned. In school everyone was taught how to format an essay or different types of writing like poems or stories. Anything that I did in class I was always given a template of how the instructor wanted the paper to be written. This would have word count, the format, and what the paper should be about. All throughout school we learned the fundamentals of writing starting with letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, to structures of writing like essays and poems. The thing that is learned from writing is technical. As my English education grows the technical side is less focused on while the content is the most important thing. Content is the writing that I am doing now. The content portion of writing is not learned but influenced by others. My writing becomes influenced through examples like essays. In this English class, I believe that that’s how these three previous essays worked out. The Scholarly Discourse Unit paper was a paper that had us synthesize how we thought the writers Gee, Swales, and Porter connected to each other. I used transferability to apply the knowledge that I got from each of the three sources and created an argument that I could synthesize with each other. This paper gave me the opportunity...

...In all my past years of school, I have always found English to be my least favorite subject. I have more weaknesses than strengths as a writer. My weakest area in writing is research papers, but in writing 1310 I did learn more about writing research papers. It takes me a longer amount of time to write an essay than an average classmate depending on the topic. It takes me longer because I often get writer’s block. It takes me a while to put together all the things I want to write about in a logical, smooth order. Sometimes it helps, if I make a detailed outline on paper. Even though I consider myself to be a poor writer, I do have a couple good skills when putting together a paper. . Throughout both middle and high school, I’ve had to write...

...Writing is difficult to me. I have trouble writing about anything. The main reason is because I do not concentrate enough. No matter how much I try to concentrate, my mind seems to get distracted. Once upon a time, while I'm writing this small paragraph, my mind keeps on thinking about others topics. I don’t know if this happens to others, but this is a problem that I have trouble in. This could be why do not like to write. The best time and place for me to write anything would be during late at night when everything is quiet around me. I'm usually in my bedroom sitting right where my computer is when I am writing. I hate writing anything with a pen and a paper. If the essay, report, or anything else, doesn’t have to be on paper, I type it on my computer. I type faster than writing by hand. I cannot have any distractions around me. Sometimes the internet on my computer has to be disabled or else I would be tempted to browse online or facebooking . It all comes down to whatever I feel most comfortable with and also wherever my imagination can take me. I will most likely write about some topic that I have good enough information on. When I am writing about things that had happened in my life, I could recall all the little details and events that took place. I tend to exaggerate quite a bit, but not because I want to make it a fiction. Last time I wrote about an event, I wrote about my first date with my boyfriend. I could picture and recall every second of that night just...

...For me, writing is frustrating. Many times I have trouble writing about anything. The main reason why I have so much trouble when writing, is because I don't concentrate on my work enough. Even when I try my hardest to concentrate, my mind seems to wonder around to a different direction towards another thought. After that, I forget all about my work and just think about various things such as people, places, and different times I've had in the past. For example, even while I'm writing this small paragraph, my mind keeps on slipping into other thoughts. I dont know if this happens to lots of people, but this is one problem that I have trouble the most in. Maybe this is why I'm a slow writer and don't like to write. When I write, I'm usually in my house sitting right where my computer is. One thing about me is that I hate writing anything with a pen and a paper. Most of the time when writing an essay, report, or anything else, I type it on my computer. I can probably type 50 times faster than writing by hand. I guess it's just something that I'm better at. I can type about 80-85 words per minute. If that isn't fast, then I dont know what is. When writing, I can write when it's quiet, loud, during the day, during the night, and during whatever atmosphere I'm in. Even if the whole house is quiet, I usually listen to music while typing an essay. However, the best time and the best atmosphere for me to write anything would be during...

...downs. I've been able to write papers but I've always needed a little bit of help to complete them. My mom has always been there when I am having problems writing papers. There have been times where I am amazing at them and knock them out like nothing. These are papers are usually short stories or something I can relate to. Then theres times where nothing comes to me and it seems like it takes forever to write them. When writing the papers one of the difficulties came from what I was writing about. In high school papers stressed me out because I knew I was going to have trouble with them. When I had to write my paper for chemistry, I worried about the length, how many citation, and how to cite it. I ask myself how does confidence impact my ability to write? On the one hand the papers I have the most confidence writing and I favor the most are ones where we have to tell a made up story or about a life event. I can write these very easily because I can remember the event very vividly or can make up a story with lots of detail. With event stories I usually just remember then write and occasionally go back to reread and fill some parts with more detail. In high school one of the first papers I had to write in my English class about a life event that changed your life. I thought to myself this is really easy to write about. I had an idea and there was no length on the paper so I didn't have to worry about how long it was. I was ready for this paper. I had confidence and I knew inside...

...skills. I have found that as a writer, few of the strengths that I have are providing good supporting ideas of a paper and formatting of a paper. I have a keen knowledge of what each topic of a paper is about and how to support the points that I have chosen to write about. I am also knowledgeable on how the papers should be formatted from GCU style to APA style. However, some of my challenges are that I type how I talk which causes me to have more than a few grammatical errors. I also have a tendency to write papers that are unorganized and that causes a reader to lose track of what my papers are about. Based on the feedback I have received the areas that I will need the most improvement in are grammatical errors, mechanical errors and organization of my papers. So far, I have taken a few steps to help improve my writing skills. One step that I have taken is I use different colleagues to proofread my work before submitting it. Another step I have taken to improve my writing skills is I practice using the Student Success Center. The Student Success Center provides me with many tools that has helped me improve my writing a little more each time. In my past academics I have written a number of papers and essays. I have written many narrative, persuasive, description and exposition papers. My favorite type of writing is description because it is like poetry to me. I love writing poetry to clear my mind or to express myself. The writing I have done in the past differs because...

Utilizing the syllabus allowed me to see what was expected of me as a writer, and how I would be critiqued in my writing, starting with the first paper which asked me to explain the moment or experience when I knew I was a part of a discourse community. At first, I did not understand what I was supposed to write. Once we talked about it in class and went over discourse community characteristics and sample papers, my paper began to flourish from draft one all the way to draft four. In draft one, I finished my paper with “I became so good with weave that...

...asking too much of fate! Still I will proudly declare that there is something queer about it. Else, why should it be let so cheaply? And why have stood so long untenanted? John laughs at me, of course, but one expects that in marriage. John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things not to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is a physician, and perhaps - (I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind) - perhaps that is one reason I do not get well faster. You see he does not believe I am sick! And what can one do? If a physician of high standing, and one's own husband, assures friends and relatives that there is really nothing the matter with one but temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency - what is one to do? My brother is also a physician, and also of high standing, and he says the same thing. So I take phosphates or phosphites - whichever it is, and tonics, and journeys, and air, and exercise, and am absolutely forbidden to "work" until I am well again. Personally, I disagree with their ideas. Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good. < 2 >But what is one to do?

...This semester of English 111 has taught me many things about my writing. I have learned that one of my best strategies with writing is getting a head start. I have learned that I will produce a better paper if I work on it periodically rather than all at once before the due date. Writing a paper periodically allows my brain to take a rest between each night. While my brain does get a rest, writing periodically also allows me to think of new thoughts and ideas that I want to incorporate into my paper. Along with this idea, a strategy that doesn’t work as well for me is trying to do too much at once. For the Paradise Lost Analysis and British Literature Analysis, I tried to do everything in one night so I wouldn’t have to worry about it any more. This technique put even more stress on me and made me overwhelmed. Although my literary analyses seemed strong in my...
