Journal #35

Journal #35 compare your writing from the Declaration of Independence Reflection blog from 9/24 to your writing from the Whitman Search for Self Discussion post.

My writing has changed so much since writing the Declaration of Independence Reflection blog from 9/24 to now when when I am writing Whitman Search for the self discussion post. I used to use words like "I, you, me, etc. I have learned to back up my writings and learned to use more than one literary criticism in a post. I learned if you want to get full credit you need to support support support. If you have an idea you need to elaborate on it and make sure you give the reader every detail possible. Another difference is the confidence. When writing in September it was hard to trust my abilities and writings styles. I did not know you could not you personal pronouns and needed certain citations. I feel as if I have grown as writer and have succeeded my expectations. I think that looking back is a good thing. Seeing improvements in oneself gives needed confidence and satisfactory in moving forward with harder and more detailed writings. I personally think that that Walt Whitman for Self Discussion post is one of my best writings  I have used big and complicated words that are not present in my Declaration of Independence Reflection blog from September. It is actually quite amazing to see how far I have come as a writer. My knowledge of literary criticisms has advanced so much. I think I have learned you have to explain explain explain. I have succeed in doing that for the most part. Of course no one is perfect but I have come along way. It was a nice change of pace to look and see how far I have come in this English class. I think it would be funny to go read my first post of the summer blogs. I am sure I would be very embarrassed. Writing can always be improved on. The older the get and the more experience/practice you get the better off you will be in the end. Hopefully by the end of this school year it will be close to perfection! I am sure it will if I continue to try. This is the end of Journal number 35.
