Introductory Essay Though I have always found History to be a compelling subject, I do not feel that I know the subject terribly well as a whole. I possess a basic understanding of the timeline of large events that have occurred throughout American history, but many of the details of these events have never been taught to me, or those that have been taught to me have been summarized. I am sure that many of the dates and details of the numerous events in American history have been skimmed over in

So here’s what I’ve learned. I looked at my first piece of writing which was about a song “That’s the way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be” by Carly Simon, and my last work which was based on “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry.

was previously been taught in high school. It was like “killing two birds with one stone.” The stone was abolishing the five sentence per paragraph policy. The two birds represented writing techniques and understanding how to express myself into a paper. Unfortunately, the only English classes I have ever taken in my higher education were English 102 and English 103. From what I can recall, I was intellectually thinking and writing constantly about my opinions on certain topics. The implementation

I wanted to write to you to tell you how much your book has influenced me, considering that I am an adolescent. I acquired an interest in psychology at a very young age, obsessed and fascinated with different disorders that I could self-diagnose myself with.

after completing several papers, I feel that I am much better at it. I know now the correct way to format my papers in MLA style. I’ve learned how to create thesis and how to structure my essays properly.

The critiques that I’ve received consisted of not clear enough of a thesis, either too much or too less details in my body paragraphs, and a conclusion that fails to summarised the paper with the thesis included or at least addressed.

My hand was trembling as I reached for the paper that my AP English Language and Composition teacher handed me. I flipped it over to reveal a three circled at the top; this score was one of the many threes I received on a “timed write”, which are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. This class was one of the most significant challenges I have ever faced. By struggling with adversity in this class, I learned that one must go through a storm to be able to grow and become stronger than she ever can imagine
