English 1101: My Analysis
I have learned many things while attended English 1101. I have learned that I can improve in writing, which I never thought possible. Although I still need a lot of work I feel I have improved. I never wrote essays in high school because I switched schools all the time. I used to completely hate writing essays, but now depending on the type of essay I actually enjoy it. The biggest challenge for me is grammar and punctuation and it always has been a problem for me. I am surprised to actually like writing and that there are sites that can tell you the issues with your papers. I think someone telling me exactly what is wrong with my paper helps me. It helps me because I know what mistakes I made and can try to improve. I think my best work has

    Profolio Paper ( Wheres Waldo Now "Gold Rush" , "Pleasantville", Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"

    The following are three essays that I worked on during the semester. Most of it remains the same, while some of my ideas have developed. The only major changes made were redirecting the ideas in the Where is Waldo Now essay. In English 1102 I struggled with a lot, Professor Grant really challenged what I thought I knew about writing. Being that English is my second language, language barriers normally do not reflect in my speech or writing. I felt that this semester really showed me that I still had work to do. Passive voice, comma slices, forming arguments, and grammar are some of the many skills that I worked on during this semester. I attended the Writing Center as often as I could; I also asked questions during office hours. I worked on perfecting these skills in my other classes as well by reading out loud. By exploring these different options my essay grades improved 15 points. Hopefully my portfolio and future papers reflects the time and practice I’ve put into my writing.…

    Rhetorical Triangle Approach Analysis

    When I first started in ENGL 1101, I expected to read old books about Shakespeare or Macbeth. My expectations have been met due to the fact that I learned a vast amount about writing and by what method it takes to construct a proper essay and also the suitable way to add different elements of MLA and citations to a paper. Now I think that reading and writing is a fundamental part of life and that its important to be able to understand and construct an essay that can be beneficial to readers.…

    English 1101 Research Paper

    English 1101 was not like I expected. I came into the class thinking this was going to the hardest class I have ever taken. Turns out that the class was one of the easiest subjects I have taken this semester. There were only a few essays that had to be written which was good and bad thing at the same time. My grade was pleasing considering the fact that I am only a sophomore in high school. The class will be every beneficial in the future; when it is all over I will appreciate taking the course. While the structure of the class was not put together well, the English 1101 class turned out to be manageable.…

    English 101 has been an amazing class and I feel like I have grown more than I expected.

I was especially concerned with citations. However, I found myself being able to work though citations with little effort.…

    Challenges of Writing a Paper

    There are many challenges that can arise when writing a paper. One of them is having an unclear thesis when writing a paper. Which means that the main point does not relate clearly to the thesis of the paper you are writing. Another challenge that might arise when writing a paper is fragment sentences in the paper. It happens often, and it is when a sentences does not have a subject and a verb in the same sentence. Which causes the sentence not to be complete. Finally, another challenge that might arise is grammar issues. Because even though it sounds simple you need to understand how the language works, how the meaning is made, and how it is broken.…

    English 110 Reflection

    Completing english 110 again is somewhat difficult, the last time that I sat in a class room learning how to write the perfect essay was 2000. I did not realize all the material that I had forgotten in that sixteen year period. I am happy that I enrolled in English 110, it did help improve my writing. I know my writing was weak initially, it has improved with this class but there is still along way to go for me to become a better writer, like my dad use to say “there is always room for improvement.” I did learn the proper structure for the narrative, descriptive and compare and contrast essays, along with developing a good thesis for those essays. One area that I saw improve, was the “verbs to avoid.” I did not realize how often I used…

    APA Reflective Essay

    Freshmen year of college is a frightening thing to think, especially the frightening things you hear about it, such as a twenty-page essay APA style. Although actually going through your freshmen year you learn so much more than the four years of high-school you were enrolled in. Over the Spring semester I’ve developed more skills or habits when writing essays in this course as well in my other classes such as History, Marriage and Courtship, and Assessment and Observation. I’ve gotten much better at managing my own time since January giving me a sense of what needs to be done before the deadline approaches. I’ve improved on writing my outlines and become more assertive in my writing. Even before I began English 1320 my outlines were vague and didn’t have much details as to what I have planned on talking about in my essays. My evidence in previous essays wasn’t as credible and present as it is now in my current essays. I’m now able to write more than I used to and not fear the number 1,000 or 2,000 word essays mostly due to the fact of learning to use the database.…
