I believe the writer could’ve crafted a much stronger essay if they thoroughly understood what the prompt was asking. It seemed as if they had an idea of what they were writing about but not enough understanding to go in to detail.…
Her introduction had an effective attention grabber, which was an entertaining recollection of an event in the ladies restroom. While in the restroom she lost her balance and ended up falling into the toilet. This really grabbed my attention and let me know that this was going to be an interesting read. It made me want to know what was going to happen next. The tone she uses throughout her essay is a serious but humorous one. She uses simple terms to define…
I feel that the ethos of Gwen Wilde was solid. It is obvious she thoroughly researched the topic before writing her essay.…
This class has taught me many things about myself along with many necessary skills needed while writing. I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier. Today, after practicing throughout my essays this semester, I believe that I, in fact, have…
The art of writing is a unique skill that requires the writer to have great flexibility and be open to improvement. Some may consider themselves a “perfect writer”, when in reality, no one is, and will ever be. Writing is a process that requires one to continuously build on skills learned in previous situations, applying new techniques and strategies to future writing projects. Different settings require different writing styles, and with that being said, one must be willing to change their writing skills to suit the requirements of their current setting. In the following essay I will reflect on past writing assignments, identifying my best and worst writing courses, strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and my opinion on why writing may or may not be beneficial to me throughout my career.…

I enjoyed that these three papers were able to make me a stronger writer. The self in context essay I was able to learn how to express my emotions in writing. Most importantly writing the essay I realized that I have been keeping my emotions hidden. The lyrical essay got me to start thinking about writing poems again. Lastly the reportage essay forced me to step out of my comfort zone and have some fun. I am very thankful for this…

article that I reviewed. I felt that he really didn't draw me into this article because it seemed like everyone was saying the same statement over and over. I think he could have…
I did agree with many of the points he made. My favorite quote of this piece was, “it is folly to think that we as performers, as re-creators, can elevate the work of art. It is the work of art that can elevate us” (Schuller 8). This is the best argument I have heard for strictly adhering to the score and helps to strengthen the rest of his comments throughout the piece. His insists on following the composer’s instructions exactly because ignoring any one of them could drastically change the sound of the entire…
