Final Blog

1) My favorite essay was probably the research project. Even though it was the longest, I felt like that one was the easiest to do because I didn't have to research anything. It felt like I was just having a normal conversation with my friends and family and I just put that conversation onto paper. I felt like I got a lot out of that assignment because I learned about my friends' and family's writing experiences that I didn't know before and it gave me more confidence when it comes to interviewing.

2) My least favorite essay was probably essay 3. It is the only essay so far that I didn't get a grade for and had to revise. It didn't enjoy reading the two stories and comparing and contrasting them. I will have the revision done by tomorrow morning I hope but definitely by tomorrow.

3) My favorite reading was the reading about Mo Yan. It was interesting reading about how he came from a poor neighborhood and how it was a struggle to survive when he was younger to how he won a noble prize.

4) Overall this semester was really enjoyable and I am happy was able to be a part the class. All the assignments have really helped me become a better writter

Reflection on Essay 5

Essay 5 was really enjoyable to write. Normally I don't like to write papers on things I have to research but I really did not mind researching for this project because it was about something I enjoyed and found interesting. The Harry Potter series are some of my favorite books and movies of all time. I love the Harry Potter series because of the characters and the great plot that always left me in suspense. Doing research about J.K. Rowling helped me answer to some of the questions that were left over when the plot ended. The only difficult part was writing the 4-5 pages. I felt that it should have been 2-3 pages. I thought I repeated a lot of the things that I said in Essay 5. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives and this was a good final project to close out the semester.
