At the beginning of the semester, my impression on writing essays was that doing them was bothersome and tiring. Towards the end of the semester, my feelings have completely changed. First I changed my writing style and then I changed my personal habits. For the actual writing part I took more time developing the outline. With concern to my own personal habits I simply organized the way I managed my allotted time between working on the paper’s structure and the paper itself.

I will just order them in order from hardest to easiest based on my own personal opinion. First is the rhetorical analysis, then the argumentative essay, followed by the summary essay, the character analysis, the memoir, and lastly the reflective essay. While there may be plenty of room for improvement, mostly in the grammar area I feel that there is no paper that I can’t write no matter the type nor the
