Good writing to me means knowing what you are doing. By this I mean you know how to use good grammar, punctuation, etc. I think a good writing piece will also have a noticeable start, body, and end. You know you have written something well when it clearly makes sense and there aren’t errors.…
Over the years, my interest and awareness regarding reading and writing have varied from time to time. I remember my mother reading bedtime stories to me as a child and actually painting my personal pictures to what she was saying. Once I was old enough to read the stories myself, I would go back and compare my mental pictures with those that were in the book. During my elementary days, I found the novice level of reading and writing to still be interesting. Everything from transferring imaginary stories I had thought of onto a sheet of paper to tell the entire class about my church league team winning the basketball championship the previous Saturday, I thoroughly enjoyed writing and felt I had a personal connection to it.…
No offense, but ELA has never been my favorite subject. It requires creativity, a characteristic I lack. In fact, it took me a week to conquer up this anecdote’s topic. I haven’t always been this way, but as you will read, numerous habits have restricted my ability to be imaginative, and taken a toll on my writing.…
This research assignment has been a quite challenging assignment for me. The overall writing process has been the most difficult. Coming up with a draft was the first step in my writing process. I kept writing and every time I would go back, changes were made. I revised many paragraphs and run on sentences. In the beginning, I began to procrastinate because I did not even want to think about such a complex seeming assignment. After my meeting with Professor Klein, she gave me a lot of good feedback and ideas on how to start strongly. After my meeting, I started my essay on a better track and got a few pages complete. After the peer review session in-class, I learned a lot from my peers. My classmates thankfully gave me appropriate, last minute feedback. After this, I went back and fixed any grammar or formatting issues I had, along with adding more to my final essay. This process was long and not at all easy, but I was able to get it done efficiently.…
Because my childhood was so filled with literature,the fact that reading is such a substantial part of my life is somewhat expected. The reading material I read then has helped me become the person I am today. As young as Second Grade, I had already read the Harry Potter series, and countless other chapter books that had helped shape my childhood. Even though my preferred genre has evolved since then, my avidity for reading has not faltered. Because of my reading, I learned how valuable the skill of, not only being able to read, but being able to comprehend the text you had read is.This skill has assisted me mature intellectually, such as last year. When I was exposed to new reading material for school, I gained the ability to, not only read more advanced books, but to realize the message that the author was portraying in their novel…
During the past week, we have learned about ourselves when it comes to writing and reading and strategies in order to make our writing better and stronger. During the class activity, I learned why I wouldn't consider myself a great writer or a strong writer. In order to be a great writer, you must go through each process to make sure your reflection paper or essay strong. I already knew about the 5 essay structure process, but I never did each step. Not following each step process is one reason why my writing isn't the best. The essay structure process consists of Pre-Writing; meaning you need to brainstorm in order to have a correct idea of what you're going to write about, Next is writing out a Draft in your own words discussing…
I always start to work on my writing project with thinking about what is my position about the subject or topic. After that, I try to brain storm and bring my thought on a pepper. This will help me to have a concept and base that latter I can add or subtract necessary sentences to the pepper. I like to when I use writhing application like word process because it helps me to correct some of my grammars issue as well as it does help with correct spelling. This is a part I’m doing pretty well as I learned before as writhing process.…
According to Jessica Brody “Don’t be afraid to write crap because crap makes a great fertilizer”. Basically, that’s explaining what kind of writer I am, although my writing styles are very crappy, it will allow me to grow into a better writer.

I am not confident with my writing skills at all it’s something I love and loathe, I see myself growing, I do have a lot to work on, I have high expectations for this seminar and, better writing will help me in the future.…
In the United States, people have different languages because of the many different races that live here. It is a problem in our society because it is difficult for people to understand what the other is saying. Even if it is a problem, people should not be ashamed of the language that they speak. Writers, like Amy Tan “Mother Tongue”, Manuel Munoz “Leave Your Name at the Border”, and Deborah Tannen “Sex, Lies and Conversation: Why Is It So Hard for Men and Women to Talk to Each Other?” essays talk about their experiences in communicating with other people. Even though Tannen, Munoz, and Tan show many differences about the impact of language on their lives, they are extremely similar in their writing styles, in their approaches, and in their overall theme.…
- Which step in the writing process is easiest for you to complete? Why is it…
I’ve been asked many questions about how to write, when to write, and even what to write. Well, in each of these and many more questions there is a simple answer and that is just to write. There are as many reasons not to write, but it only takes one to change that absurd thought. Now let’s get down to what is the question behind the question that is the answer of all answers. What will it take for me to be a better writer? In other words, what will it take for me to write like a famous author and receive fame and fortune? Once again there are many who say they know the answer to that, but the only one who can truly help you become on par with those who you admire and receive that big payday and people lined up for your autograph. Sorry…
When it comes to writing essays I blank out a lot and I think to myself, “what should I do?” I’m not the type of person that likes to do essays because I struggle with having to write them. The only way I would be able to write one was if I have had any experience with that particular topic.…
I can’t say I fully learned how to read and write when I was younger, it is a process of learning that never ends. There will always be a book that challenges you, a word you don't understand, or a method of writing you haven't tried. The more you read the smaller the world seems, and the larger your head becomes. I came to realise my love and passion for literature. Still to this day I rarely leave the house without my copy of “To Build a Fire” by Jack London. Many of my friends, and the people I grew up with hated reading. I distinctly remember receiving perturbed looks from fellow classmates after stating that I prefered reading “Where the Red Fern Grows” in class then watching the film afterwards. I want for every person I meet, and know to have that same yearning for literature that I have, and I believe that everyone can if they only take the time to practice learning to read and…
