Looking back over the semester I am amazed at how much I have learned. I included two papers in my portfolio that I have revised and added to. The first is the Genre Three assignment, followed by the Genre Two assignment. The revision process is not an easy one for me to complete. I am a perfectionist who has time limitations, so my papers are never perfect, but I do try to be thorough when completing an assignment. Topics covered in this class are vast and have added an innumerable amount of success
I chose to revise the first and second paper we worked on early in the semester. Those were my worst grades so it was an easy decision. Looking back at the papers, I realized my writing was nowhere close to where it should be. I would throw ideas all over the place especially in the first paper and it was not organized, so I spent a lot of time fixing those problems. The second paper was similar to the first one, but it was better overall. The commentary still had a lot of problems in it. I

Many college students do not revise their writing assignments before they are due. College students are not revising their assignments, so they are not turning in their best work. One in five college students do not revise. Students usually just add more information without moving or deleting any unnecessary details. Many college student do not revise they just reword their writing. However, when college students are revising they have to do more than just reword. When college students are revising

comments, reread the story, read my own essay and read my teachers comment so that I knew what to revise. Therefore, I went through all those steps to revise my analysis essay. Next, regarding about my argumentative research essay is little different because I had done a lot of research’s in it. In this essay, I had to print out my annotated bibliography that I had researched about my topic to revise my essay. Then, I need to print my teachers comment with my own annotated bibliography and my assignment
Unforgiven revises the structure of typical character roles from traditional Westerns and uses the image of whiskey in William Munny’s life to show his malign past. William Munny is portrayed as the vengeful anti-hero. Little Bill’s role is the evil, loathful anti-villain as the corrupt sheriff. Eastwood comments of the reality of classic Westerns through alcohol and how Munny uses it to cope with his dastardly past and how the West truly was a cruel society. The characters in a non-revisionist
not e... ... middle of paper ... ...could have been said better and I decided to improve that by using another sentence which was “which is an acronym for:” There were also time I had to revise the whole paragraph because it was wrong and it was not needed for the instructors expectations. I had to revise entirely my conclusion because I used “In conclusion,” or it was supposed to be a personal experience or how it can be related for future students or my own personal review. I believe that throughout

John Schwartz’s visit to the class will help me become a better writer because he showed me that I have to start in the middle of an action in my introduction, revise my work until the due date, and add short sentences along with the long sentences in my paragraphs. Writing an introduction is the hardest thing for me to write. It turns me into a robot that keeps on rebooting when I see a blank page on my computer. When I’m finally ready to write my introduction, I start off with general statements
Although I am not the best writer, I have come a long way and improved immensely from my first essay “Where is the Line Drawn?” at the beginning of the semester to my last essay “Differences” towards the end of the semester. If it was possible I would have loved to compare my very first essay from semester 1 to my last essay in semester 2 to show the extraordinary change and my writing journey. Throughout the entire 2nd semester I have acquired some new writing, reading and analytical skills. Some
College has always been a process that introduces students to academic challenges that are not present during high school. So when my professor assigned Gerald Graff's essay, "Hidden Intellectualism", I thought this was his thesis. “Missing the opportunity to tap into such street smarts and channel them into good academic work." (Graff 142) I thought that this was his thesis because it explains the main idea of the essay but I assumed its purpose because of where it’s placed. I am so used to reading
television shows, like Cool Hand Luke and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The main characters of both stories, Luke and McMurphy, faced situations that could be considered unjust. When subjected to unfair circumstances, many humans will attempt to revise it. Luke and McMurphy showed through their rebellious actions
strong character, of a passionate and almost rebellious nature. A character “refusing subservience, disagreeing with her superiors, standing up for her right’s, and venturing creative thoughts.” I put forward that Bronte throughout her text not only revises the themes of male power and oppression, but reconstructs them also. The text is a female bildungsroman of it’s time, sometimes subtly and sometimes overtly tackling the patriarchal view of women. Immediately from the start Bronte’s character Jane
about. If I am writing about something that I have no experience with I research and try to familiarize myself with the topic. That method always works for me and has been very successful. I try to put my experiences in words to put on paper. I also revise a lot for grammatical errors. When I first was given a topic I would just scramble and write down the first thing that came to my mind but, now I have to brainstorm and think about it more clearly. By writing that way it gives me confidence in my
Today social media is changing the infrastructure of how we connect to others all over the world. For example, the earliest methods of communication across great distances was hand written letters, pony express, telegraph, telephone and radio. Above all in the 21st century, technology is beginning to change rapidly with total worldwide population of 7.3 billion or more people blogging, chatting and instant messaging as a common source of engagement to others socially online.

look over the outline and expand it into paragraphs and also use it as a reference to make sure everything is covered. While writing people can be tempted to revise while drafting, however, this distracts the mind from the real task which is turning thoughts and research into a draft paper which can later be revised. After the draft is done, revise and edit by adding in anything missing, or changing the way something is written if it doesn't
Writing is an arduous task. It demands great effort and mastery of the language and of the topic that you are writing. I find writing as something that is both terrifying and exciting at the same time. Writing has always been a challenge for me, but I also feel the ecstatic whenever I get hold of a pen. Sometimes, I stumble over words, but I smile the sweet scent of satisfaction whenever I capture the ideas that I have and watch it take shape in the paper. As a writer, I think that my strengths
When I look back on this courses learning outcomes and course keywords, I feel as if I achieved a great number of them through the many writing assignments given to me. With a semesters worth of new found knowledge I was also able to reflect and revise one of my previous papers written in this course. If it was not for English 101, I feel my writing skills would be greatly set back. When I look back to the learning outcomes given to me in my other courses this semester, I feel as if I did not truly
turning my work in on time and sometimes even early. I am proud to say that I have turned all of my work in early so far this semester. I want to earn the best grades possible on my essays, and for me to accomplish that goal I will continue to edit and revise all of my papers until the end of the semester. I also hope to improve my writing skills and become better at brainstorming
