During the semester, I wrote the summary and response, the rhetorical analysis and the argument essay. Personally I feel that I benefitted most from the summary and response because it was the longest summary and response I have written. I used to write only one-paragraph summary and response. Therefore, writing a long summary and response taught me so many things. Besides, the rhetorical analysis and the argument easy helped me a lot. I have learnt what logos, ethos and pathos are and how to rebut others opinions. Overall, all the essays I wrote during this semester improved my English skills very much. My favorite essay is the summary and response for I enjoyed the process of writing this essay. Besides, I am most satisfied with my summary and response. Before the time I began the essay, I was allowed to find the article that I loved, which made me very interested in writing this essay. Then I repeated the article I found in my own words, which is the process of writing the summary. I not only showed my own opinion but also shared many interesting experiences in my response. According to the test, I am a person who likes sharing. Especially, I …show more content…
As the test tells, I am a person who likes challenges. However, finding a proper article for writing the rhetorical analysis was very difficult for I had to find an article which has enough rhetorical devices to be analyzed. As for the writing process, it’s much easier. I just needed to copy some sentences, point out the rhetorical devices and give my reasons.

Nevertheless, I learned many rhetorical devices from writing the rhetorical, such as logos, ethos and pathos. I can recognize these devices easily, but using them is still a little difficult. Writing this essay showed me the higher level of writing in

Thornburgh said that the over-exaggeration n that was places on the “issues” that were going on in Arizona is the reason people got angry enough and why it drove Jared Loughner, the shooter, to act out in a violent way (53).
1. Of the three primary units we have completed in this course, I learned the most from the Rhetorical Analysis unit. As well as being educational, this unit was enjoyable and thought-provoking. Evaluating the argumentative essays both set a foundation for an argumentative paper and taught me how to effectively detect logical fallacies.

When writing the literary analysis essay I learned to find information faster and in different ways. The Hero project I learned how to find information needed, and I learned how to make my own story and put the information together. The thing I learned about writing when doing the Romeo and Juliet essay is investigating because we have to do this to find out who we should blame for Romeo and Juliet's deaths. The assignment that I found most difficult to write was the literary analysis essay. This was because it was hard to pick what information to use when writing the paragraphs and to put together to make sentences.
