Words: 245

Pages: 1

Journal 7 I recognized several patterns in my writing assignments by reviewing my writing¬¬ assignments. There are several mistakes repeating which have become patterns. First, I am considering in-class essays. Important words in titles must be capitalized; however, in both in-class essays I have done the same mistake. I have used subordinators and coordinators as transition words in both in-class essays. For example, ‘although’ in the in-class essay 1 and ‘so’ in the in-class essay 2. I have switched my point of view in both essays. For example, I have changed my point of view from ‘you’ to ‘we’ in essay 1 and ‘they’ to ‘you’ in essay 2. I have used articles improperly in both essays. I have done mistakes in using present tense for singular

Reflective Essay About Writing

Conclusion As my entries are finally put together in this portfolio, I have to say that my best paper/essay so far during my writing experience is my final narrative. My reasoning to this choice is because of the personal experience given in the writing, and what the actual wording represents in my life, that made it so much better for myself to write and it flowed much easier for me.

AP World History Class Reflection

In my opinion, I have been doing fairly well in this class. I switched schools from BASIS Medical Center, and this is the level of difficulty of almost all of my classes last year, so I could already predict my grade. However, last year, Honors English Language did not require me to compose a timed writing every week, and this therefore made it more challenging for me to keep my grade up if I did not score a minimum of 7 on the essays. The apparent pattern of using abstract example instead of concrete…

Literacy Narrative: Improving My Writing

Esplin 1 Literacy Narrative At times of stress when my thoughts and feelings are a tangled mess, with no way to know what I am thinking and no way to express to others how I am feeling, writing helps me to find the ends of my knot of thoughts and work them back through the entangled stress in my mind; that is how I feel about writing. Writing is a way for me to escape the chaos of life, allowing me to focus on one task while taking the time to carefully word the thoughts that I am trying to express…

Dulce Et Decorum Est Essay

wellbeing whilst writing the poem. The poem is composed of two sonnets, although Owen disrupts the pattern in the second verse with a couplet, and 12 consecutive lines following.

Owen uses the formal poetic styles to help draw attention to the broken verse and creates an unsettling poem from the deliberate change of verse pattern. In the first…

This makes reader to put more concentration over the subject rather than feeling uncomfortable with jargons. William Zinsser says…

Essay About Writing A Song

What all goes into writing a song? How did the artist come up with that idea? What was going through their head? Writing a song can be a long process.

A song is like a three minute story. There’s a beginning, a middle, and of course an end. The main purpose of a song is to tell that story, whether it…
