Project Two Reflection
My interview with Stephanie was unique because she’s my sister, and so our literary experiences are fairly similar. We read the same types of books growing up, liked and disliked the same writing assignments, and so on.

Stephanie and I also enjoyed reading as children, though we had (and still have) different tastes. Now that we’re in college, our skills continue to develop parallel to each other. Though neither of us have had negative literacy experiences, per se, we both share the fear that we’re not excellent writers. Stephanie considers herself to be a worse writer than average,

    There were moments when I felt like no one was going to take this serious or care about what I have to say about racism but I kept going because I knew that is my job as a writer to keep writing and continue to support my claims with facts. As I kept writing I felt more and more like a writer because usually when I write a paper most of the time I run out of ideas and get stuck but when I was writing this paper I didn't get stuck or ran out of ideas.

    A thorough analysis of my experience in Writing 101 taught me many things. A major takeaway from this class is never to overestimate my abilities. While taking this course, I was also trying to handle two other classes, a full-time job, and a hormonal teenager. I feel I personally overestimated my abilities. Prior to taking this course I did not have a strong background in writing or English for that matter. I honestly feel writing is my weakest subject. I know I will have to retake this course. When I do retake the class, I will undoubtedly ensure I do not have any other distractions. I must take this course as a stand-alone class. I also will make certain this be a face to face course. I feel the lessons in this course are exquisite. However, I should have asked for help sooner. I now…

    Writing, where do I begin...? Throughout my educational career I have always absolutely hated writing. Why do I need to research and write about the use of fossil fuels? Why do I need to write a reflection on this novel? It never made sense to me, and I never felt myself progressing as a writer. Although I was required to do these things this semester in English, I so much more to do and in return, I feel that I have grown immensely as a writer. Through IWA’s, Freewrite’s, and other writing techniques taught by Professor Pretorius, my writing skills have grown tenfold versus what they previously were. I feel that this class has greatly prepared me for the future writings I may have to do in the rest of my educational career.…

    In reading Alice Walker’s “The Welcome Table”, I have found a profound interest in the content and context of the short story. This particular story has great depth and imaginary depictions that allows the reader to invest them to the message of the story. In this literary work I find it best to approach the critical thinking in a personal view point. Allowing the reader to get involved in the story from the first sentence Walker puts forth a strong reader concept to be analyzed.…
