I am writing this Rhetorical Reflection Memo to reflect on my experiences, readings, and works and examine how my skills have developed from past to present and how to further improve them in the future. Over the course of the term there have been four papers (this being the fifth) that have made me aware of both my strengths and weaknesses in writing: “Rhetorical Analysis”, “Analytic Summary”, “Literacy Narrative”, and “Summary Response”. I struggled the most writing the “Summary Response”, and had the most ease writing the “Literacy Narrative”, but with each paper I experienced some kind of difficulty that helped me learn about my own capabilities. I was most challenged by the “Summary Response”, but my difficulties with writing the paper

Self-reflective Analysis Essay Although English, as my second language, is a big challenge to me during studying in a country of which native language is English, it plays an important role in daily communication, academic achievement as well as shaping personality. Almost four months have passed since I enrolled in Freshman Composition 1, the work in this portfolio demonstrates that I made improvements on summary, teamwork and evaluation of sources. Although I have made some progress, I still showed weakness in understanding the topic fully and properly, grammar issues and lack of using advanced vocabulary.
This spring semester, I supposed all my writings had both several strengths and weaknesses. I found that one of my strengths was how I was easily able to
My strength in writing are all over the place, I feel like I am good at choosing the right words for what I’m writing, at least the words that are in my vocabulary. I hope that I can get better at writing essays and the more serious assignments, I also want to get better at writing book style writings, like having to write like an author of a book I’m reading to write a “chapter 0”. I think I haven’t really changed my thinking of my writing, I just write to do it, I don’t analyse my writing unless it’s something I’m really interested in. Organization helps me, or it hurts me, my disorganization that is, I’m very disorganised if you couldn’t tell by now, my brain is always everywhere, and so are my possessions, and my writing. My brain is all over the place just like my work, my PAW lessons are staggered between one attempt perfection, and ten attempts with
I have personally always disliked writing, especially an assignment like this one that is so creative and open to one 's own ideas. They cause me a lot of stress. I like to be given a topic or specific writing instructions when it comes to writing an essay. I like structure, facts, and ideas that I can use, or maybe it’s because I don’t like writing about myself.
Being a religion, Catholicism has interpreted right from wrong for centuries and logically, as time progresses, so will certain understanding of justice. Economics has not always existed, therefore a new assessment of justice in an economical context was evaluated by The National Conference of Catholic Bishops. When the conference produced a pastoral letter concerning economic justice in 1985, A Catholic Response consequently formed. Taking into mind the influence of economics resulted in an approach that uses social and distributive justice to tackle all problems in society, but specifically the injustices rooted in economic injustice. Overall, the understanding of justice focuses on how distributive and social justice results in economic
In schools, you get a student ID, It’s just a 5 or 6 digit number to keep track of you. To me the schools are attempting the impossible. Humans are to be described in words, not numbers. Why not keep track of us by name? Our personality?
Yet again, my essay contained similar errors from the other essays. My lengthy body paragraphs were my biggest weakness, and I feel that my essay contained no strengths. Again, I learned to be careful with accuracy and to be more
Writing is something that has always come natural to me. I enjoy writing and for the most part, I do an acceptable job at it. Although English has been my best subject since elementary school, there are a few things I need to improve on, one being spelling. I have a decent vocabulary, but I am not very efficient when it comes to spelling. Yes, we have access to things such as spell check and autocorrect, but being able to spell words correctly on my own is something that is important because not everything I will do in life is going to be typed.
ENG-122 Reflective Essay My writing process has changed tremendously over the course of this class. I feel more accomplished, confident and I feel sometimes that my ideas and thoughts just come in to my mind out of nowhere and I start writing about anything now. I pay attention to my punctuation and grammar more as I have polished them more now, not only when I write but then others write as well. I am constantly looking for errors and I highly think this is helping me a lot in my career.
Writing is a vital part of life. Before the creation of written language human communication was limited to verbal, in-person conversations. Everything changed when writing allowed thoughts and ideas to travel farther and more efficient than ever before. Writing is a talent that we learn at an early age and only hone as we proceed through our academic careers. This being said, as with any talent every writer has strengths and weaknesses.
Writing has always been an issue but yet interesting subject of mine. As hard as I try and write essays, and papers I just can’t get the hang of writing. But after taking this class, I did learn different writing technique and improved my writing proficiency, material body of formatting, and how to uncovering and properly use sources. Through class exams, essays, and a research paper, I was able to learn new writing skills. Although I have learned a variety of things, my writing still needs improvement.
Each essay I wrote took me several time to write, several drafts which show that I have improve every time I do the drafts to write a perfect masterpiece. I learned a lot of skills and techniques this quarter, which has helped me to improve and progress my writing skills for the future. I will remember the skills, techniques, and tips that professor gave us in this English class for my higher education. For example, all the time that I went to visit professor Sapozhnikov office hours to receive help on my out-of -class essays has helped me to improve, grow, and progress in my writing skills as a writer. Some of the significant changes I have made as I was progressing and growing were to develop a strong thesis to help support my claims as I write my essays, such as facts, observations, illustration, and examples.
A good text has to flow, it has to have a rhythm to it. I always refer to a quote by Borges as the golden rule of writing: “Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song.” Whether I am successful in this endeavor or not, it is not up to me to decide, but there is always more work to be done. For instance, as I was reading to my colleague, I realized — or rather, I was painfully reminded once again — that I should read and write more in English.
