Reflection

My Writing:

Since the beginning of the school year my writing has impooved. When I first started writing my essays they were not clear, very vague and there was no analysis. I did not have clear thesis statements and I would list examples and not analize them. As I was getting more and more frusterated I wouldn't get any better grades, my essays were consistently D's and E's each and every one of them. After I was fed up getting bad grades I decided that the next essay I would be prepared, and I did do better but not A material. Now I am doing better at understanding the topics being discussed and having clean and concise thesis statements to work with when I write my essays. I still am fumbling a little every once and a while but trying my best every essay. I have gotten a few hundreds and a few 90's. I think when I have an opinion about the topic or I know background on the topic then I write better essays, and when I don't have an opinion or I'm not sure how to even approach the topic i don't do as well. I hope that I can change that and even if I don't understand that I can ignore that and write a good essay. My sister in law is an english major and she consistently helps me when I get stuck, and she is helping me become a better writer. I hope that i can still continue to get better at writing so that I will have lots of experience for college.
