I think that I have definitely grown as a writer over the past year. Looking back, my writing at the beginning of the year was terrible. I didn't include a lot of detail and with the literary analysis papers I didn't really understand the correct way of embedding. As the year progressed, my writing began to develop and I went from getting fours on papers to getting sixes and sevens. Although i grew as a writer, i faced many challenges. With the prompts for the Literary Analysis papers I had a hard time spotting the techniques the writer used. It was difficult for me to think of devices when they gave me very vague prompts. The poetry literary analysis papers also gave me trouble, I had a tough time understanding the purpose of the poem and understanding the deeper meaning. This year I really liked how you made us write one of our college essays, this gave me an understanding for the amount of detail that we needed to include in this paper, and it was actually fun! I also liked how we made goals and reflections for each of the papers that we wrote in this class, it made me more aware of the things that I needed to focus on fixing in my writing. Overall I think that I progressed as a writer from being in this class and I really enjoyed it.
