Eng 104 Week 1 Assignment

As a way of correcting this problem, I picked the high school year that I felt affected me the most. This is why I chose the tenth grade and began writing my essays correctly. Sticking to one storyline helped my essays became easier to follow and to

Since the author has been working with the organization and has written the literature review, it was easier to foresee the challenges the organization might encounter, thus making it easier to write about. Another recommendation for future students would be to choose and organization that one is passionate about, or an organization that the individual is knowledgeable about since one is going to be spending a lot of time researching that very organization. With that said, having a mentor within the organization one chooses to write about can be very beneficial. With all of this in mind stay focused and do not give up on your goal even if at times it seems difficult and unachievable. If the class seems too difficult, lean on your cohort mates and your professor for help and advice, you will find out that you are not alone in this

One scene that stood out to me the most is on Chapter 23 when Professor Piper from Cath’s Fiction Writing class actually has a face to face talk to her. To me it seems like the professor wants to get something out of Cath to discover for herself to what she really is as a writer and her own self. The professor is like inferencing to her in a way that fanfiction is not all that there is to her and writing. It impacted the characters because the professor was starting to learn about Cath and what she needs to do to get something out of her, and Cath is impacted in a way that she has to rethink of herself as in like a reflection of her past and where she is now. It does speak to the theme of the book because it shows how Cath shouldn’t just be a fangirl and writing fanfiction all her life, there is a time for her to do the things she loves and exploring other levels of diverse opportunities in the present.

While in the planning phase, I took several days to research my topic. I believe that taking a long time to research and read materials about my topic helped me when it was time to write the paper, because I acquired so much knowledge about my topic. Also in the planning phase I developed my outline as well. Writing an outline was extremely helpful because whenever I was unsure of what to write next, I just looked back at my outline. The only thing I did not do during the writing process was use note cards.

I think without the knowledge from this class I would not have done as well as I did on that paper. That is why I am grateful for this class because it helps me write papers for others classes and do well. In the end, Dual English Comp has caused me a lot of stress but it has also opened my mind up to writing a successful college paper. I learned new things from writing a thesis to the correct apostrophe positions, to how to cite things correctly.

By going through this process, I was able to isolate myself from the negative event, and thus remain an overall happier individual while being able to learn what I did wrong and how to improve for the

I was most engaged in this course when I was doing the research for this paper. Filtering through all the research and figuring out what is valuable information was the most exciting part for me. Additionally, finding information and connecting it to a suspect is the most satisfying part of my job. Writing the actual research paper has been the second most engaging thing during this course. It is difficult for me because I know I am not a great writer, but there are improvements in my writing since starting college.

Writing, searching, and investigating this paper was really fun. I enjoyed searching and learning new material that I did not know. I really enjoyed picking a topic that I was really into and making a research essay. Meanwhile I was teaching others about the subject, I taught myself some material too. I taught the readers the significance behind Latinxs students and their struggle in the education category.

I love how she asked me the “small questions” at the beginning of the interview. For example, what your major, what are your plans after graduate etc. By doing this, it made me less nervous and more comfortable to have a one-on-one conversation with her. This is a great way to practice your interview skills before you land a possible interview. I feel like this was a great learning experience for me.

However, having someone proofread my paper helps me tremendously to become more effective and confident as a writer. The mistakes that I make will teach and benefit me on my next written assignment.
