I thought that writing was something easy. The one thing that was simple and came naturally to me. But after weeks of writing drafts and drafts of my 5 part paragraph on theme, following the strict guidelines,and hearing my classmates reading out loud, I changed my outlook on writing. Not that I don't like it anymore or that its hard, but I think I just given writing a new respect.
A major recurrence I noticed between all the theme paragraphs is a lack in a transitional statement. This bothered me (and I'm sure it bothered you, too) because the whole paragraph felt "mashed" together. It took away from the paragraph and I didn't know when the author transitioned into another point. Also, the poor word choice. I really felt excited to get out my thesaurus and liven up my paragraph, excepting my classmates to do the same. But, sadly, it wasn't up to my expectations.
The one issue, I believe I could change when writing an essay is finding a distinctive writing style. While listening to other read their essays I heard their voices shining through. The way the paper flows, is crucial to comprehending the idea behind what the author is saying. I think that diction and tone play a huge role when writing. So, from my recently gained knowledge on those topics I feel I can grow and develop in my writing, so next time my essay will render with my personality.
