Okay! Sabrina mosley Bowling Green State University I have always loved creative writing and the aspect of creating a story, but after coming to college i learned that i don 't do much creative writing. Everything in my classes are a mix between persuasive and argumentative writing. Im also not a big fan of writing argumentative essays because i had a college professor when i was in high school who was very strict. He didn’t like when student had their own ideas.
would benefit my essay, but the article was not peer-reviewed so I had to continue my search for information. Another important aspect is how to view a problem from different perspectives/angles. This was important as it assisted in writing the counterargument section in my classical argumentative essay. I needed to take into account that there are those who do not view child labor to be an issue and provide their views in my classical argumentative essay. When writing an essay, it is important to
Narratives are an important part of an essay as they create a sense of tone needed to describe a story or situation with ease. If the narrative is not correct, it can leave a false impact on the readers or viewers because it lacks the main tone of the story. Having a perfect narrative can not only enhance a story, but it can also prove evidence. In her essay, “An Army of One: Me”, Jean Twenge provides some of the best examples of how narratives enhance a story and she also emphasizes on how the tone
few months, I accomplished the following essays: an annotated bibliography, a summary and response, an argumentative essay, a literary analysis, and a multi-genre essay. The argumentative essay and the literary analysis were submitted to Smarthinking, a Germanna sponsored writing center, where professors critiqued each essay in categories such as main idea/thesis, content development, grammar and mechanics, organization, and word choice. All other essays were critiqued by my peers. With the help
I thought that “argumentative” was simply a fancy name for “persuasive”—needless to say, I was mistaken. Blinded by this fallacy, I avoided acknowledging any opposing views in my essays (such as in my TV argumentative impromptu), which only made it seem as if I did not have sufficient information to defend my arguments. I thought I had to induce my audience to agree with me and that if I mentioned any alternatives, I would lose them. However, the purpose of an argumentative essay is not to make others
interesting and engaging title is important in order to grab a reader’s attention. Although there are many different styles that can be used when forming a title, I found that titles are most intriguing when they are formed as a question. Through writing my essays and proposal on child labor and its solution, I also learned the importance of citing scholarly sources. Because of the large quantity of information readily available online, it is time consuming to sort through the articles in order to locate a
by trying to repel the accusations of anti-hunting propaganda, but fails to make a powerful, persuasive argument. In his article, “Can I Kill an Animal Ethically?” he uses credible, logical, and socially valued examples to stake his claim, but his essay remains weak due to poor organization and a delayed thesis. It is important to supply many facts from credible sources when making a sound argument. Detwiler is able to find several cases of hunting as a solution in controlling the deer
Fitzgerald), improving my personal best is what I am invariably working towards. This year in English 101 has served as a very significant step in my writing journey. It gave me a push into the “bootcamp” of college writing, while still retaining certain aspects of writing that I find truly enjoyable. Looking back to my experiences in English 101, I believe that there exists a slight gap between high school and college level writing. In high school, my teachers never completely enforced formatting of our

However that may be a major and most well known aspect it is not the only one. Bradford demonstrates his ability to accept and learn from individuals who are not exactly like him. Which is what America should take from this historical encounter. Considering part of the hatred America holds for certain
This semester I was able to flourish as a writer due to essays given in class. I am now better able to analyze prompts and to communicate my ideas better on paper. Although my writing has drastically improved, it has not always been that way. As evident through past essays, my writing was poorly structured and contained spelling errors. Also through practice this semester I was better able to write a concrete thesis statement, something I was puzzled with in my previous English courses. Now I am
