ENG 101E Reflection

In the past, I was always afraid to write essays because I knew I was not capable enough to write a decent essay. However, now that I have taken both ENG 101E and 101F I feel more confident in my writing skills. During this experience, I have learned how to write better by including my own ideas and also including more detail in my writing. By taking ENG 101E, I already felt more confident with my writing, but now that it is the end of ENG 101F I think I have improved even more.

Personally, I think Writing Project 3B is my best essay because in that essay I was able to address the audience, but also I think I was able to add enough detail to emphasize the problem with poverty. In the essay, I talked about why poverty is such a huge problem
I had a hard time writing about Mike Rose’s credibility without including the words “I think” or “I believe”. The essay was suppose to be focused on Mike Rose’s credibility based on the text, so that was so something I had a hard time with while writing the essay. However, I still think that I tried my best with stating his credibility by talking about his past and also his understanding about blue-collar workers.
In the essay, I used Mike Rose’s mother as an example to show how he was credible to talk about blue-collar workers and their intelligence. I used other examples from his life such as his study with blue-collar workers and their working skills. “Rose gives evidence from his study about how the blue-collar workers have certain skills such as speech, mathematical, and literacy.” I used examples such as these to show Rose’s credibility for the topic. However, because the information about his family and research were very repetitive it made it hard for me to expand on many of the ideas I had. Even though, I thought this was my weakest essay I still believe that it is much stronger than what I had before I came into ENG101E or
