and that is that it had to have a thesis, body paragraphs, and a conclusion except for the major assignments like LEN, Argumentative Paper, Lit Review, and etc., which required more than just those three elements to writing the essay. I prefer one type of writing style to another because it lets me see the difference in my writing and if there are improvements in my writing. I do see similarities in the different essays I wrote and they are that my thesis statements are not strong enough, which is
relevant to the topic, develop a strong thesis that answers the question, outline, create a body; the body should support your thesis and give the reader a better understanding of your topic, and finally a conclusion that should neatly wrap up the ideas found within your essay. Following these steps are essential to writing a successful essay. The first and perhaps most important parts of the essay writing process are, asking a question, and developing a thesis statement. The question gives the author a
A Thesis is: -The statement of the author’s position on a topic or subject. -Clear, concise, and goes beyond fact or observation to become an idea that needs to be supported. -Often a statement of tension, where the author refutes or complicates an existing assumption or claim (counterargument). -Often answers WHY or HOW questions related to the topic at hand. A Thesis Statement is Not: - A statement of fact or observation (no matter how astute the observation). - A statement of personal
essay, I carefully restated my thesis statement, reconstructed my PIE paragraphs, and worked on stronger transitions words, because these three parts are the heart of a successful essay. By revising these parts, my essay is easier for reader to understand and my idea is carried out throughout the whole essay. I completely changed my thesis statement because the original one did not have enough evidence from the text to be supported. In my original essay, my thesis statement is “the author uses various
remember anything I read, and I did not like to write because what I wrote was unorganized. Reading also can help improve writing, but when I was younger, I was stubborn and not aware of that. I had no confidence and thought I was never going to achieve good grades in an English class. So I let my grades slip and with that I decided to not go to college after high school. A few years out of high school, I took courses and a course English to develop my skills as a writer. In the course, I learned a great
still, I would not be a perfect writer. It is not about first or second language, it is about how well I understand the learning objectives. Then organizing and writing with my own ideas and putting them in my paper. I am going to be honest, I am not good at English subject and English subject is my strongest weakness than the other subjects. In this paper I will discuss and analyze my own writing, reflecting on the ways that my writing has improved throughout the semester. The very first paper that

Finally, a conclusion is presented which restates the thesis and summarizes the steps that were taken by the writer
the thesis is always the most important sentence. I have learned the necessity of combining the most important information out of an article into one sentence. The thesis statement captures the reader’s attention and sets the tone for the rest of the essay. I also learned that there are different types of thesis statements associated with individual essays. The structure of a traditional thesis statement contains three points that set the stage of the essay. Although the traditional thesis statement
Writing is like showing magic tricks to me because the audiences don’t know what will happen. As a freshmen coming to college, something that I have to get used to that no one will inform me if I didn’t do my homework, or I skipped class. I didn’t expect much from any of my classes. In the beginning of the quarter my main goal for EWRT 211 is that I wanted to learn how to write better. Most of the essays I wrote in high school didn’t receive high scores. In EWRT 211 I learned many things, but the
a fairly good writer. I had a few tough teachers that helped me develop and, whether by luck or by skill, I had always managed to preform well on class essays. I knew that I could convey a point well and be descriptive about a topic, but underperformed myself in areas like the conclusion. Throughout my essays, I consistently presented clear arguments in a smooth and functional way with strong evidence analysis although I continue to develop better ways to encapsulate my argument in thesis statements
