Ap Language Reflection

The 2017 AP Language and Composition course was purely correlated to challenging prospering to potential readers and writers. Its evidential goal was designed to build a basis of using appropriate rhetoric devices as to make his or her idea tangible to others. Although our “particular” class was very outspoken at times, overall I do believe we know how to better communicate our insights through both writings and in speech than we did at the beginning of the year. Unlike any year of English’s class, I concur that we grew in our level of proficiency as a writer and in our progress as a critical reader.

This exact phrase goes to show the limited wording to henceforth employing a clear and effective evidence. Evidence, that makes this particular piece stronger than if it were wordy. It effectively addresses the Boston Massacre as it’s example and then goes to explain why it’s in agreement with Sontag. Additionally, with the recent critique of Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, not only can engaging vocabulary be noted, but smooth transitions can be depicted as well. For instance, when I was trying to connect how Unbroken shall be in the AP Language and Composition course
