Injustice For Tradition Analysis
In reading my fourth response paper, “Injustice for Tradition; Justice for Love”, which was analyzing the last two acts in the Story of the Western Wing, I can see not only a significant amount of change in my writing from the beginning of the semester, but also further improvements I have made and could have made on this paper. With re-reading this paper, looking at with a fresh and further developed perspective, the first major thing I notice about my writing is that sometimes claims were made without further explanation or context. If I had supported some off the claims I made initially, it may not leave the reader, asking how or why. For example there is a spot at the beginning of my paper where I wrote, “Though the reader can distinguish that the happiness of the ending depends on which characters point of view we take, this story leads us that it does not only end happily, but also, justly.” In this section it may have been better if I had shown my intention to show how the story turned out “justly”. Unfortunately I do not make this clear and go on with the assumption most readers would find the ending just. Overall I see …show more content…
The structure I used analyzes each character and situation individually, which makes my points clear and convincing. Though this paper could have been improved, overall, I think it shows some growth, especially compared to the first couple of papers I wrote for the class. I definitely think that I am able to bring greater focus to claims and have improved overall coherence as a writer after almost having completed this class. I know I use a lot better evidence and less assumptions, and luckily do not use so much first person interjection into my papers. I can see where I could improve more easily and this class will help me when writing and editing future papers with a better trained eye for coherence and

    Comparing and contrasting literature is an important way to show the similarities and differences between the two works. There are several types of literature one can compare and contrast; however, in this paper we will be discussing a form of literature known as essays. An essay is an exceptional way for an author to convey an opinion, emotion, or personal experience. In this paper we will look at two essays that demand comparison; American History written by Judith Ortiz Cofer (1993), and A Clack of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances of a Gay Boyhood written by Bernard Cooper (1991). The two works of literature seem so different on the outside, yet upon further analysis one can begin to notice many similarities making…

    The only real thing I feel that would have increased the understanding of some of the information is if our classmates were to have asked more questions to those they responded too. Overall I feel the class was very informative and through. I have nothing that I would say I am unsure about. I do feel that the DB for week 4 would have been more beneficial for me at least if we would have responded to something like a rough draft of the IP instead of a basic outline. Seeing how other where approaching their papers may have made each of us better at our own.…

    The English 3003 class has helped me in various ways in improving and shaping my writing skills. Although some of the work were tedious and sometimes frustration at times, but overall it was a fun class to be in and was a great learning experience as well. I had to take this class not because I failed to secure an 8 in the WST test but because I had problems mainly due to my poor writing. Throughout the class this quarter I experienced many methods and different types of writings and essays. The writing homework took time, and several ideas and sometimes google searches to make it a good essay I can score marks on, but in return, I learned skills and techniques…

    The article “Tyranny of Tradition: How information paradigms limit librarians’ teaching and student scholarship” by Carrie Donovan and Sara O’Donnell, goes into deep discussion of the traditional paradigms for education changing and how it is impacting the learning of students. The article discusses how everyone is entitled to a higher education and one of the main principles of higher education is democracy. Democracy focuses on the actual content of study and how the instruction is delivered. I believe that if students were to learn in the socratic method of instruction, which allows them to question and have their own opinions of things, they will succeed in democratic society. Critical thinking is a necessity for democracy because…

    As my intended major is in the scientific field, it is vital that I am proficient in all aspects of Outcome 2. Outcome 2 deals with a writer’s ability to read, analyze, and synthesize complex texts, and the writer’s ability to purposely incorporate evidence from the texts in a way that effectively supports not only the authors writing, but their overall complex claim. A writer’s claim is only as good as the evidence that supports it, so it is vital for the author to incorporate scholarly and peer reviewed evidence that advance the writers purpose, and help to achieve the overall goal of the literary work. A writer cannot make an effective argument without having reliable sources of evidence to support the literary work as a whole.…

    This essay helped me understand the importance of research and well thought out analysis when developing a claim. As I said previously, it was unfortunate that there was not as much of a variety in terms of useful information as I would have liked, but I am happy with the work I put into the essay. Every essay leading up to the Capstone Essay has shown me that hard work will achieve great results. Regardless of the grade I receive, I am proud of the work I have done and I know I will deserve whatever grade I…

    The paper sounded as if a robot wrote it and, there was very little creativity or explanation of my thoughts. First, I changed one of my sources that would stronger support my claim, and it allowed me to cite the speaker. As a result, I was able to explain my thoughts better which would benefit any reader to understand my paper. Secondly, I used higher vocabulary words and more transitional words. This allowed my revised writing to seem more natural and have better flow. I have gained more high vocabulary words since the beginning of the school year that I am proud to use. Lastly, I added a concluding paragraph because I did not have once in my first writing. I recognized that my writing didn’t sound complete without summarizing all of the evidence to support my claim. In the end, I have gained more ways to deal with the process of writing such as revising, using transitional words, using high vocabulary, and including a concluding paragraph at the end of my…

    Throughout writing this piece, I definitely learned how to analyze text in a more in depth way. From my free write to my rough draft, I really didn’t know how to construct my claims and my support as well as using the rhetorical terms in the way. My timing for these terms also was not where it should have been. I used several terms in places that I shouldn’t of. I feel like my full understanding of these terms was not where it should have been. I think another problem I had was fully understanding what the assignment was asking at first, but the comments from my peers and my instructor actually helped me transform my paper a little more.…
