How have I shown growth throughout English 10? Something I can definitively say is that I have grown especially in the areas of mastering grammatical conventions independently, maintaining a formal tone in writing, and more specifically, how a character meets the criteria of a hero and/or tragic hero as it pertains to Homeric Literature. My goal in this essay is to prove that I have had substantial growth when it comes to the concept and skill of each unit stated. To start with, the first area of improvement is through the use of grammar. Although I still make mistakes here and there, I used to have a lot of grammatical errors in my writing. An example of this is when Jaurequi (2024) quotes, “The first-way inspiration is shown is also used as the title of the poem, but is seen as repetition.…show more content… Additionally, another time I misspelled a name was when Jaurequi (2024) wrote, “Gun Montag conformed to the expectations that the government put in front of him” (3-Part Project - Part 2). In the original file submitted for part two of the project, the biggest error I caught was when I wrote the character’s name, Guy Montag, as “Gun Montag”. In contrast, the best example of where I showed mastery is when Jaurequi (2024) quotes, “The author Ray Bradbury perfectly sets the elements of dystopian literature in the novel Fahrenheit 451” (3.1). In my recent dystopian literature assessment essay, I correctly wrote the author’s name, wrote incorrect punctuation, and showed mastery of the overall formal grammar that is supposed to be utilized in the said essay. Continuing on, another area I’ve shown improvement in is the appropriate tone when writing an essay or power paragraph. An example of this occurring is when Jaurequi (2024) writes, “-to show what can be done in life without worrying about the negative aspects of life and wasting time not committing to your dream”
