The paper about me, and my w.riting

This semester we learned, and have done quite a bit of w'ork in English. At the beginning
of class it was obvious that I had ploblems with my rvriting. The problems included. not being
able to make my paper flor.v u'ell. my punctuation, grammar. and citation. I have had trouble

making my papers flow in the past because of the w-ay I u'rite. Usually when I w.rite I arn

thinking out each word as I spell them but sometimes when I do thi$kip words, and+rrherffiip

-"l,tt
,'"

'..i--'r' '"

uo+ds the sentence ends up not making any since. Nou'in punctuation I have had and cumently
.L;>

having trouble, because in punctuation certain thin-gs can only be used in a certain circumstance.
Tl.ren other things can be used almost

fieely such

as the period.

With all the different kinds of

punctuation that can be used, and with all the rules behind them along each of the marks having

diiferent properlies. Sometimes it becomes difllcult to use them. Grammar is basicalll,.just

flndin-e a better lva,v to make your paper florv. r.l'hether

it

is

just using an adiectil'e to make the

selltence more colorful or using an adverb to describe the action in

-{reater detail. In citation
ha'r'e

to give credit to the person rvho came

Lrp

l otr

n,ith the idea or who used a key' fi'aise. rvhich kind

of makes since but the onl1, thing that is confusing is that means that people can basically ou'n
words.
These w'ere usually rnissed because

I did not knorv

rvhy' and horv they were supposed to

be used. And. even though \\'e \\'ere taught exactly how to do

it. it is still hard because in u,riting

the rules change. For example. in w'riting r,vhen you do something it is done a specific wa-v-, but

Foster

sometimes in w'riting it can also be done in another w-ay, so hor,v do you know r,vhich way to do

it. You have several different ways to find which ones are \\,rong. and there are many u,ays to fix
the mistake. But there are so many rules on w-riting that it makes it hard to actually write a good
paper. But" regardless of all the errors and rules that

I have in my papers. I am now able to make

my papers flow a little easier. And now'l am able to pick out f-ew of the grammar errors that I
was not able to see before doing the class. However even after learning how to do this in class

it

is still hard for nre to write a paper correctl,v the wa,v they nant it done.

I personall-v do not feel like I hal'e leamed rnuch is this class. I have gone fiom start tcr
finish and all I learned is how to makc the paper flow, and hor.v to use citation a little bit. And I
learned how to look fbr grammar mistakes by looking at the corrections in our papers. So
can u'rite a better paper than

I could befbre.
