Reflection

This semester has gone way too fast.  It feels just like yesterday making my introductory video.  English is my more difficult subject.  Writing isn’t second nature like for a lot of people I know.  One thing that I have a better understanding with is in-text citations.   I have never felt too confident on how to use it, but I have an idea on how to go about it.  Another thing is learning how to analyzing literary text instead of just trying to summarize it.  When I made the connection about literary analysis being like a persuasive essay made it a little more understanding.

   The readings haven’t had a great impact on me, personally, but they were interesting reads.  Up in the Air wasn't my favorite but it was a nice to be able to compare it to the movie.  Winter's Bone was more of an interesting read because of the thrilling plot of Ree trying to find her father. 

I think my writing has improved greatly throughout this course.    I still have an issue on trying to start my papers unless if I am interested on the subject.  When I have some kind of interest, I can produce a better paper compared to when I can’t relate.  I hope that with my other college classes that I can be able to show that I know the difference between summary and literally analysis and be able to cite correctly. Being more confident about my writing had made me not hate English so much.
