WW4 – Self as Writer Throughout my entire academic career, I have noticed that there are a few areas in my writing that I succeed well in. Most of the time I am able to craft an attention-grabbing introduction and conclusion that also inform. I think this is because when I was in high school we were instructed heavily to create an opening and closing to a paper that could summarize the rest of the paper if they were to be the only thing we wrote. I try to assure that my thoughts flow well or that
Many authors use literary and rhetorical devices to make their target audience either submit or disregard their position on whatever the subject of the essay happens to be. Because of the abundant uses of said devices, some works of writing are becoming muddled, but that is not the case with "Ways We Lie" and "Why We Don't Complain".

Many explanatory essays aren’t effective to all people. Some people feel as if they are given an abundance of information or compact information. The essay “Flow” was the most effective it engages readers and is not overbearing with information. Other people would write about high school drop outs. “Flow” was the only essay that was the most compelling. Being that it was not on a topic that I had no interest in, it captivated my attention. It did not provide so much information that would cause
reading, "An annotated Student Introduction", I will certainly do some things Colin O'Neil did in his essay. In his introduction he first states an issue and the assumptions it holds. He then includes what other people have said about the issue to show that he understands what's going on. For this part of my essay I can first begin my introduction by talking about the issues of the three essays I read, and the assumptions they hold.

So, my paper did not have many noted errors when I glanced at it other than the two my classmate made when reviewing it. From there I decided to go over the process of writing the paper and what strategies I incorporate in the paper would be the most successful and what wouldn’t be. Once I developed the idea of what I would be writing in, I began to develop my thesis. Originally I made my thesis way to broad.

The author is successful in portraying the difficulties that are faced by an immigrant person who aims to make his transition to a new urban milieu.

“The Sundance Writer”, the thesis should be shrewdly planned according to the impact needed to get the readers support. The thesis could appear in one of three different places; the beginning, the middle or the end of an essay.

such as “thing and it”, as well as sentence fragments. As I become better and improve these writing problems, I will be able to have less errors on my future essays. Going over these weaknesses will allow me to elevate my quality of writing essays. Throughout my whole school career, I have always had problems brainstorming ideas for essay topics. I could never find a great topic that
sentences, I had to reread so I would understand them. Concepts: 3 1) Essay retells a chronological event of historical importance - No, I felt as if the essay was told in random order or told backwards. The paper should have started with the beginning of the event, in this case, the events that before the launch of the Challenger. 2) Essay correctly uses in-text citations and contains a works cited page - Yes 3) Essay is correctly paraphrased and summarized (retold
creating a strong argumentative essay is to have a good introduction paragraph, make sure your argument appeals to the reader, and be able to refute opponent’s arguments.
