Assignment #15- Final Reflection


LAST BLOG....   

  Through out this semester, I feel my writing has improved a little. As I mention in my first blog post, writing take time and effort to mastered. From the past fifteen week I had to write different types of essays. English 101 has taught me many great strategies when it come down to write essays.  I feel that my writing skill still need improvement. I hope to improve my writing by utilizing the writing center and perhaps on exchanging papers with future classmates to revise.
    This has been a very unexceptional semester for me. As a writer, I have gained a lot more confidence in my writing, But my ultimate goal looking back of these essay that wrote this semester and  compare it to paper that write later in college. I feel strongly that I will continue to improve over the years and I truly look forward to making this transition.

Assignment #14- Planning for Revisions

     The paper I chosen to revised is my first essay, the literacy narrative. I chose to revise this essay because when writing this essay, I felt great confidence writing this essay. I thought my essay was great, but after receiving my feedback and final grade I understand what I did wrong. In order for me to make this essay better, I will stay in topic, make paragraph organized in better structure, and ask few classmate to revise my paper.

Assignment #13- Analyzing and Writing Arguments

I analyzed "Don't Presume to Know a Pig's Mind " In that essay, The writer started out with a Chipotle advertisement to show different view point of two business of how their treated the animals. . The writer argues that its does not matter how framers raise the animal, its still going to end up as meal. Also he explain, If this process is happening the price of meat will be high-priced. I believe the reason why he picked these strategies, so he could have his point stated and this leads towards with straightforward answer.

Assignment #12- Thinking Critically About Evidence


Why should fine art be a general education requirement? Most college students has taken introduction course of fine arts in high school. The reason for targeting on fine art, Most high school graduates have took a fine art class in high school.

  • My most compelling evidence
  • Students finds it to be a waste of time, due to the fact that most high school graduates took fine arts classes in high school. There are no needs to review these fundamentals course.  Also by removing fine art can less stress help college student to be focus on Major  

  • My weakest evidence 
  • Critics may say that taking fine arts course in college go more in depth, can help undecided students to major or minor in one of these categories. But from past experience, I took four-years of music in high school. After taking these classes, I was not interest becoming music major or minor.
