Assignment #3 "Good" Papers

Sentence Formation- One difference with an A paper and a C paper is the Sentence Formation. In a C paper there are a lot of mistakes with run-on sentences, comas, and the fragments.  For example a sentence that goes on for ever, like a 5 lined sentence.  With an A paper there would not be a run-on or a fragment.  The sentence would have a nice flow to it.

Word Choices-  Another difference with an A paper to a C paper is the type of word choices that you make.  As you start to mature you have to start using more knowledgeable in you essay.  In a C paper some of the that would be used are; got or get.  In an A paper the words used would most likely be obtain, or attended.

Description- The last difference that is really noticeable would be the descriptions.  In a C paper the writer would be lacking a lot of details and could have been very vague. Compared to an A paper that would have vivid details, and would be able to tell you the story with you being able to close your eyes and see the picture in your brain.

For me, the hardness of the three would have to be the sentence formation.  It is hard for me because I am unable to tell when I am just rambling on.  It is also hard for me to with fragments because I always do not know what to write about, so I just start a next sentence.

The easiest of the three is the word choices because it is the one that I can understand the most.  When I was in high school my one teacher was able to tell us words not to use in a paper, and how to better it with other words.

Blog assignment #2

I may write about my learning disability because I have of it I have problems with my reading and writing skills.  I find out about my disability at the age of nine.  It was very difficult from me to understand why the other kids were look at me so differently.  When going to a new school I found it hard to get along with the other kids because of the way that I would read during class. This was a significant part of my life because it helped me change the way that I felt about others and it also changed the views that I see in people.

I feel that this would be a great topic for me to write about because it had a big impact on my life.  Writing this paper could help other people that have a disability understand what it is like for a person to have one, and not let that stop them with there goals in their lives.


I may also read my essay on my senior ROTC project that I had to do in order to pass the class.  Through this essay we had to write down goals that we had planned to obtain in the future.  When i was writing it I tried to think of things that I would really wanted to happen in the future.  I also had to plan a resume that I could use for real.  It was significant because it was able to help me get ready for college and my future.
I would be able to write a paper on this because of the impact it had on my senior year.  I was able to plan out my life and what was important to me.  I still have all the writing that I have done in that point in time because i felt that if I get older I will be able to look back and see how I planned my life out in front of me.


Another topic that I could write able would have to be about my imagination because I feel that I am always thinking up stories to write about.  I have said that if I was ever to become a reading I would be really successful because of all the craziness that goes on inside of my mind.  It would be significant to write about because writing to me is a passion and to make up a story would be awesome.
I think that I would be able to write a paper on this because it is something that I am very passion about.  One of my dreams is to one day write a book about my fantasy world that is somewhere in my head.  I have always found people who write book so signification because the are able to come up with story out of no where.

Blog assignment #1

The reason why I am taking this class writing 101 is because it will help me improve my writing and also because it will be helpful for the future career that I will have. There are some things that I need improvement on with my writing, and those things are I make a lot of grammar mistakes fragments and comma splice. This class will also be very helpful for the future career that I decide to take on because a lot of things in the world require writing. I want to become some type of doctor and I know that I will have to do some type of reports, and by taking this class on I hope that i am able to understand some methods of writing my ideas down because writing the papers out. 

There are some things that I would like to personally gain from this class such as my writing organization. When I write I just write and go with it, and I do not try to get my thoughts together, so as I write my thoughts are all messed up. Also there are some grammar problems that I have like fragment and comma splices. The problems with my comma splices are that I do not know where to put the commas at.  There is also the problem that I have with fragments and that is that I never understand when I am done with a complete thought.  I hope that I am able to get all of the help for this class this semester.
