This was definitely the most challenging to me. Our professor did a good job describing a discourse community. He addressed examples of discourse communities. This, unequivocally, helped a great deal. I thought I would be more prepared this time around, but I was wrong. I learned to never speak directly to the reader. In life, we generally don’t think about discourse communities being around us, but they are. Literature gives a new perspective on life. The next essay seemed to be, in a way, easier. It was an informative essay. I wrote about a disorder, that a friend has, that is not much talked about. In this writing assignment, we had to list at least one source. This was unfamiliar to me, along with the MLA format. The Professor was able to show us where in our textbook, MLA format was discussed. Further, I became familiar with the MLA format. I mistakenly learned that the Work(s) Cited page is supposed to be in alphabetical order. By mistakenly, I mean, mistakenly. Somehow, I managed to type my sources in alphabetical order without being aware of it. When the professor handed back our essays, he explained to the class that the sources were meant to be in alphabetical order. That mistake of mine, was a pleasant
