As I end this amazing journey as a writing arts student I confidently exit this chapter of my life feeling accomplished. As a first year student my goal for the remainder of my college career was to improve my understanding for writing and grammar. I exit the program knowing this goal has been accomplished thanks to all the great lessons and criticism each professor provided me with. I never intended my writing to be published, but what I did intended was to feel confident and proud in sharing my own writing with peers and professors.

While people participate in various methods of everyday reading and writing, there are extensive benefits to be gained from extending the experience to apply these abilities to literature. In the beginning chapter of Literature: A Portable Anthology, third edition the benefits of reading, analyzing, and writing about literature is explored, while also explaining literature class expectations, at a college or university level.

Throughout my time in Writing 101, the learning outcome to which I directed my focus is Exploration and Argumentation: Students will use writing and other modes to analyze text, explore unfamiliar ideas, engage with thinking different from their own, develop sound arguments, and reflect. I consider this outcome to be the most significant in my learning experience because of how it has led me to become a more enlightened and open-minded writer, rather than one that dives directly into flaunting my own opinion. Although I still occasionally find myself oblivious to alternate viewpoints, working towards this learning outcome taught me how to familiarize myself with a topic before forming an opinion, be more accommodating to alternate opinions, and to be a more considerate writer overall. Out of the three writing assignments, my argument paper, Paying Tuition One Grant at a Time, was the most related to my learning outcome. The argument assignment was most significantly related to the

I am writing to you to explain my development during the semester in the Advanced Composition course at Washburn University. The semester consisted of critically analyzing my selected story “Barbie-Q” by Sandra Cisneros over four assignments; the exploration paper, the reading and writing paper, the annotated bibliography, and the academic research paper. The semester began with basic lessons on general writing principles during class. It progressed into a much more complex course, including lessons on expansion and development of evidence and supporting details, as well as the argument of the paper as a whole. Although each assignment taught new elements, each built onto the last and helped transition my progress through each paper.

My ultimate goal has always revolved around English. More accurately, it has revolved around literature and the writing process. Anyone who has ventured into the mess that is my bedroom can see that I love books—I own over two-hundred them, ranging in authorship from Homer and Shakespeare to Orwell and Rand—but what many people do not know is that I love to write just as much as I love to read, perhaps even more so. Thus, while it is true that I have always known I would be attending OBU in pursuit of an English degree, it was not until I actually began my college career that I expounded upon my writer-oriented goals.

1. I chose "Writing is impacted by prior experience". Before taking this course, I never considered the idea that writing could and is influenced by past experiences.

My experience this semester in College Writing R1A is unique compared to my past experiences in other writing classes. This new learning environment has helped me develop numerous skills as a reader and writing that I have not realized before. As a reader, I realized that making opinions and connecting personal experiences to a text not only enhances my understanding of the writer’s purpose but provides me with an enjoyment of connecting the readings to my personal experiences. While reading, I also notice that writers are not expressing their opinions only by providing relevant evidence with coherent reasoning. Writers must be attentive to their audience’s doubts and worries using numerous strategies.

Throughout the term there has been many writing assignments —big or small— that helped reflect my writing process or the process itself. In the beginning of the course I felt like I was an “ok” writer, but lacked some skills such as: organization, sentence variety, and vocabulary. Also, I did not like to write and had a feeling of dislike when forced to write. I felt like I improved on everything I wanted and was seen throughout the semester. I know how to organize my ideas, the worksheets given in class to work on sentence variety really helped, and vocabulary was built on some level.

The Constant Gardener by John le Carré is an unusual novel in many respects. Combining the suspense and thrill of the espionage novel for which le Carré is justly famous, it exhibits, perhaps for the first time, the author’s deep-rooted humanism especially at the suffering of the less privileged living in the Third World countries among whom Africa ranks first. Though the novel could have easily slipped into some sort of sentimentality, le Carré has supported it with a mass of well-researched details which go to make up, with a great deal of authenticity, this narrative of exploitation and betrayal and blind profiteering from the sufferings of others. It lays bare the machinations and structures of monolithic corporations which manage to penetrate even such edifices like the WHO. The power of these global corporations transcend geographical boundaries and in today’s world of commerce they wield a power greater than that of governments and even policies of governments are made manipulable by the nexus that exists between the politicians, bureaucrats and the businessmen.
