Why I Like Writing

Pages: 3

This paper is ironic because I’m writing about why I don’t like writing. I have little interest in writing. Not because I’m an incompetent writer, and not because I find it hard. No, I despise writing because how trivial it has become. Most writing I’ve done for school is simple regurgitation of information. I’m given a topic, I sit down at my computer, find an article or two, process the information, reword it to avoid being accused of plagiarism, cite my sources, and give it to whomever wanted the paper. It’s a waste of time writing these kinds of papers simply because I could’ve given you the same information by skipping most of the steps and just giving the task giver the articles that I digested and excreted into a different format.

Essay about blog 2

What an interesting piece of writing that was. In the article “read like a writer” Mike Bunn suggests that if we want to improve our writing ability we have to look at a text as an architect would do when looking at a house. We have to understand different techniques used and different decisions made by the author and decide about using them in our writing. He suggests us some tasks to do prior to the reading and during so, to better understand the techniques used by the author and to learn different…

The Importance Of Writing Assignment

Throughout elementary school I skated by without doing hardly any writing assignments. I would tell the teacher that I had already turned it in, and they would just say “ok”. The few times I actually did my writing assignments, I didn’t try at all. If each paragraph was required to be ten sentences long, I would make them about five. I would do just enough to pass the assignment but not enough to get a good grade. When I got to middle school, I started to consistently do my writing assignments, and with…

Staring at the paper in my hand

wondering why red pen marks litter it with a big fat letter d and the words “come see my office” written next to the grade, perhaps the time has come to brush up on the basics and start taking English more seriously. Unfortunately, the two main reasons students have a hard time writing a grammatically correct essay is first, the student does not know the Basic English terms and second, the essay was completed thirty minutes before the due date. Looking over the corrections, I realized…

Interpersonal Relationship and Friends Essay

funny if I think about it. I crush over people I have no chance with and when I try to befriend them, I’m just another person to them. Not another friend, another person. It would be nice if people knew what they meant to me, too bad they wouldn’t care. I should just give up on certain people. I have my best friends, I have the people I see and “talk to”(as in “Hi” “Bye”), then there are those who are around me but I don’t know why. I should focus on my actual friends, not the people I want to be…

Ap English Reflection

senior year, I was constantly debating if I should take a college composition or not. I had original planned to take honors English 12 but, my mother constantly urged me to take college composition now so I wouldn’t have to take it in college. The major reason why I didn’t want to take college composition was because I didn’t want to have a repeat of AP English 11. I struggle all through AP English. Even though it wasn’t necessarily a hard class, it was my writing that held me back. I also struggled…

Examples Of College Writing

school, I had some practice of what college writing would be like. College writing revolves more around text based evidence and exploring through the authors ideas; taking the authors ideas and really getting an understanding on what they are talking about, and why. College writing isn’t expressing what you think about the author’s ideas, but what is actually is. More of a thought process must be put into a college paper for it to get the grade a student wants. In order to reach the goals I have set…

Literacy in a Nutshell Essay

Literacy in a Nutshell There I was, sitting in class junior year of high school, not really listening to a word that was said. I was more captivated on the horrific long skirt my teacher wore with the unattractive floral patterns; her T-shirt that didn’t even look like it belonged with a skirt, and her terrible shoes that unfortunately reminded me of Crocs. She wore her hair up in a tight bun, which matched her personality quite well. While picking apart her attire, I wondered why SAT’s mattered in the…
