This is my writing experiences and history. I started with creative writing which I never completed and for school and then writing an essay on a subject which I just read a book on for homeschooling. When there was a deadline I always got it finished and as quick as possible and then making sure there is no grammar or spelling mistakes. My biggest weakness is that I procrastinate and will not sometimes finish a project. I will get anything done on time if there is a set deadline but otherwise will

The four main components to the rhetorical situation are the writer, the reader, the text, and the medium. The first rhetorical situation I will analyze is the writer, and to mainly focus on what exactly I am trying to get across for the readers. The first thing when I am going through the steps of a writer is to start from the top, I feel as if some people jump around but I like to go in order I feel like as if it gives me a sense of direction when coming up with a reason to write my paper. Going

English 1101 has been a really great class so far. I have learned a lot about myself as a writer. I have found that I tend to write in first person more than I should. It is not always bad to write that way, but it is not the most formal way to write. When I write I have to concentrate on not using pronouns such as I, me, and myself. I have learned that writing is not as easy as I thought it was. Writing takes time and planning. To have a nice, well written paper, I have to take time to go though

Although the content of writing curriculums varies drastically between classrooms, the writing process itself proves to be a struggle for the large majority of students— staying within the word count, remembering grammar rules, and deciphering a teacher’s preferred style of writing only add to the amount of obstacles. Because teachers often “[emphasize] the final product of writing, not the process it [produces],” students can easily consider a writing assignment as something that simply results

Creative writing was a class that I hadn’t previously expected to attend, until I got my schedule for this year. Realistically speaking, I had no expectations of learning anything from this class at the very beginning, it seemed like the typical elective where everyone would do the bare minimum and learn pretty much nothing at all. In reality though, throughout this year, this class has actually gotten me out of my shell a bit. Sophomore year was my first time in Duncan High School and this class

When it comes to writing, I feel as if I lack something that makes a writer a writer. Creativity? Vocabulary? Grammar? I don’t know what it is but it’s something missing. I know what I want to say, but when I write it, I always feel as if it’s lacking, probably it’s the structure of my sentences. Writing 105 best describes me in all aspects of writing, I’m an “ok” writer nevertheless I realize I can do better. Writing just doesn't come effortlessly for me compare to others, my vocabulary could be

During the entire spring semester of 2017 I have used my time to focus on bringing my writing skills up. My skills have gotten better in the aspect of morale, explaining, and focus. My last writing class was over a year ago and that was more of a research paper more than an actual focus on my writing skills. What I mean by that is I wasn’t just writing down just an explanation from a book but instead I was using this chance to experience a different in writing assignments. My first week back in writing

Rhetorical Précis In Anne Lamott’s selection from “Bird by Bird” (1994), she claims that it is necessary to write “Shitty First Drafts” (1994) in order to complete “good second drafts and terrific third drafts”. Lamott uses examples of her own strategy, as well as the methods of other writers, to convince the reader that a good piece of work doesn’t usually come easily on the first attempt. In order to achieve the finely checked “dental draft”, writers should get ideas out on paper that can be

My Writing Process in Contrast Writing is a skill required for many aspects of life and being able to write well can set you up for success. Although my writing process is not always the most efficient, as I further my education my abilities strengthen and my writing becomes more proficient. One of the first things I do when I begin a written assignment is put myself in my ideal situation for focus. Weirdly enough for me that setting is most commonly a coffee shop or occasionally a public library

Throughout my life, writing was always a challenging subject to me. Although I may not be able to write as well as others, I have enhanced my writing skills. As I was assigned to write a great amount of essays in this English course, I realized that my writing has improved immensely. This course has taught me how to write various types of essays, for example, rhetorical analysis, review, report, and reader responses. Every essay has different requirements and different components to include. By using
