Essay on Writing
I have learned a lot in my lifetime about reading and writing and without it today it would be almost impossible to get very far in life. I have become the writer I am today by mostly paying attention in school and learning at home how to read and write correctly without many mistakes. When you were at home as a child most children would have a bedtime story read to them at night or they would learn how to read the stories themselves. Most children when they are young learn to write as well to when they are learning how to write their ABCs or even learning how to spell out their names or plenty of other words. As a child you loved to be read to before you would go to bed. Some children had this opportunity and some did not. Most of the time children were read to by their parents or in some cases if parents were not home they were read to by babysitters or other relatives that were at home. This also occurs in the same situation with writing. When a child is at home he is taught by parents or even by some tutors. This also could occur in the school when children are being taught their ABCs and other spelling materials throughout elementary school. Throughout my life there are many great books to read and that I got the opportunity to read throughout my lifetime. One of my favorite books as a child in elementary school had to be “Charlotte’s Web” due to the fact that my favorite animal as a child was a pig. There were lots of other books I had read in middle school, but my favorite book in middle school was “Holes”. I loved this book so much because I thought it was one of the most interesting books I had read. I also loved the book because it had a great movie to go with it which became one of my favorite movies in middle school. I never read a lot of books in high school except the books I had to read in english class. The only book I had read on my own was the “Hunger Games”. I read this book mostly because I wanted to see how greatly the book and the movie

    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.…

    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…

    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.…

    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.

    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…
