All's Well That Ends Well

Well, this is one is my last post. So, it's all or nothing!

Let's see...Looking back I do feel I grew as a writer. I'm more willing to express myself in my writing and participating in class. For instance, in my blogs there are topic that are a bit more personal to me--but I also known that I've gotten lazy after handing in the first half of the blog. Nevertheless, I know that I can type an essay about topics that interest me. It's good to see that I have a lot to say and express--hence being an emotional writer. Ah, speaking of emotional writer--I found out the different types of writers there are in the world. I can still recall feeling a bit bewildered to be the only Emotional writer in the class.

Well, this year I certainly learned a lot--starting with the fact that passive tenses makes your writing weak. I should always try to stay fresh and on top of the subject--this is especially true if you want to capture your reader's attention. This was a problem for me at first because I've always been so used to typing in the past tense. Luckily with the New York Times Op-Ed I was able to streangthen my writing.

Another thing I learn was English grammer is different from the English dialect. "Everyone bring their own beer" no longer makes sense in my mind. When I asked my brother about the question his face was so confused. These are things that I'll pay more attention when I write my fanfiction from now on. In addition, I also have to learn not to be too wordy. Sometimes short and simple sentences are more affective than overwording.

All in all, this semester has been fun and Mrs. Sprouls is awesome!
