Writing My First Draft

By -
When writing my first draft I was honestly just verbally vomiting all over the page.  It was a lot of fun to just spill my guts on the page.  Yes, it was about something that may not have been the most interesting topic, but the method of just putting whatever I wanted to about that topic on the page was very interesting and fun.  In this essay I wrote about Cinderella and the different genres that have been used to tell the "Cinderella story."  I found it a little too easy to find different genres of the story, which may be a good thing and a bad thing.  Though it may have been easy it was a lot of fun.

Dirk also points out that genres are used to help people accomplish a goal. I never thought a genre could do that. I always thought it was used to just categorize novels or short stories but, now that I have read this piece, I now realize that genres are important because, if you write in the wrong genre, the message that you want to portray can come across completely differently then you had intended. The example that Dirk used of George Washington and his State of the Union Address. By using this genre, Washington...

Project 2 Reflection

By -
1)      In this essay I am most proud of the new way in which I learned to write a research paper. I was able to incorporate new writing skills into my paper that I never learned in my high school classes but will aid me in my future writing. 2)      If I had more time to work on this essay I would try to include more specific details to support my topic from a wider range of sources and provide more reasoning to support the legalization of physician assisted suicide. 3)      Peer reviews benefitted my essay the most. This is because it provided me with a lot of constructive feedback that I was able to take into consideration while editing my paper. The teacher review also helped me inn a similar way because it gave me some direction with where to go with my essay. 4)      While writing this project I was able to learn a different way of writing a research paper in which I have previously done in high...
