Triggered-Literary Analysis

For criteria three, examine college-level reading skills as an active part of the writing process, I chose the memoir literary Analysis paper titled Triggered-Literary Analysis. The reason I chose this paper was because we were required to read an actual memoir before writing the paper. The most important aspect of the criteria, being the analyzing part, was found to be one of my strengths. I developed new levels of comprehension and understanding while reading Triggered by Fletcher Wortmann. It is tough to analyze and read at the same time because it is something that I do not do very often, but with this paper I was able to prove that I was able to comprehend Wortmann’s novel at an advanced level. By stating the author’s clear intentions,
goals, and messages throughout the book, it was apparent that I knew how to dissect a book. I felt that I summarized the book exceptionally well, not too much and not too little. One thing I did not do well in this paper would be the development of vocabulary. It was definitely something I put off, and though the book had a lower level of vocabulary most of the time, that is not a good excuse. Development of vocabulary came through other assignments in the class so I was not worried about it. This paper was one of the more beneficial papers because it was different and required more thinking on the writer’s part. It helped to set me up for the remainder of the semester since with this paper I gained confidence and enough experience as a writer.
