My Writing Class Analysis

474 Words2 Pages

As each writing assignments is graded, I realize how much I have improved as a writer by the grade and the fewer mistakes that I have made in them. As each time the grammatical and spelling mistakes are fewer on each paper. I want to share how I have grown as a writer on second semester by being in class and reflecting on my previous assignments. Even though there weren’t many writing assignments this semester. There were some assignments that I have done poorly on. For me as a writer the topic of the essay matters the most. I can’t motivate myself on a topic I don’t personally like, well I would just write something and get a grade which is still fine, can’t get everything I want in life. This semester there was only four writing assignments …show more content…

This time I have connected the paragraphs together. I had a better thesis statement. I had good topic sentences in each paragraph. The topic sentences were connected to the thesis. I had also used quotes better after using quotes I have cited them properly and explained the quote better. The final paper which was due was the literary analysis paper. Which I think that I have put on the most effort into. I did the most research on this paper. What helped me the most with this paper is simply being in class. There was always some short lectures which helped me write the paper better. Those small things from those lectures helped me with the assignment. If I were to say my weakest paper was the first short story analysis paper because it was all over places. No topic sentences was present in paragraphs. Nothing connected to thesis in some paragraphs. My best paper would be the literary research paper because I put in the most time and effort to it. I have came to class and did work. Did some work at home also which was the reason I turned it on time. Everything connects to the thesis statement and the topic sentences were present. There should be no errors. I proof read the essay to make sure there weren't

In the “On the Want of Money” by William Hazlitt, I wrote an essay about the text; which I did a decent job of describing the title, genre, author, date, position and strategies, but my strategies were too general; two strategies that I used for this essay were the concept of money and structure of the text, but after comparing and contrasting the three sample papers with my paper, I understood that in my introduction, I need to address better and more specific strategies that is being used in the text. In my body paragraphs, I did not have a clear topic sentence; “One of the strategies being used by Hazlitt is the structure of the text” rather I should have written more in debt and not just general topic sentence, “Hazlitt uses several syntactical strategies to convey his point about poverty.”(2A ) My idea was not consistent and my analysis of evidence was not clear; I didn’t describe why the author used on his text, impact of it, and was misinterpreted, but I used text evidence in my essay and described each one of them. In conclusion, I did restate position and strategies of the writer, but I didn’t write a new creative may; for example, It is hard to be without money.

The last paper I wrote I felt confident about what I was writing on my paper and the things I wrote for the writing assignment. I was really interested because it was a book report on a book that caught my attention. The book is called Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, it was about his World War II experiences and how he was a prisoner of war in Germany. I did find this assignment to be a little challenging because we had to write about each chapter, however, we had to write each chapter in our own words and explain what each chapter was about. That’s why I found it a little challenging because I didn’t get to finish reading some chapters.

During the year long process the speech everything was mostly important. However the speech by Neil Gaiman would probably have to be the most important. I say this because this really engaged me as a writer and motivated me to do better. The Comparison essay in English would probably have to be some of my best in that class. I say this because I thought I compared the two characters Napoleon and Snowball which landed me a pretty good grade.

Out of all the major papers we wrote, the major narrative was my favorite. It was very personal to me and I was able to portray words on paper that I had thought about for years. I feel that I accurately described how I felt about my family situation and was able to make my reader feel the same way that I do. This was also the essay that I received my highest grade on.

Sentences that do not support the topic sentence destroy the unity of a paragraph. To build effective paragraphs students must introduce and explain quotes to support main idea in each paragraph. I have written some unclear sentences that confuse readers and I didn’t introduce quotes to provide more information. In my paragraphs, I’ve also written down some unorganized explanations that destroy my paragraphs. Because English is not my first language, the worst mistake is that I made a lot problems on grammar and sentence structures, which is another reason that confuses reader.

Although writing has never been one of my strong suits, I have learned valuable writing skills and strategies that are applicable to both the professional and academic field.
