Kind of sad this is our last post… I think this class was pretty fun and beneficial to my learning. If I had to choose a paper I enjoyed most and got the most out of it was probably the Rhetorical Analysis Paper. I really enjoyed looking at someone else’s work that I love and not having someone else tell me why it’s so great. It helped me the most though because I saw things I really liked in that particular authors writing and I was able to study and identify his voice, and I found ways to incorporate the tools he used into my own writing. It was kind of a neat experience.
What I wish we had more of though is more creative writing. I don’t care much for writing except when it comes to storytelling. So the personal narrative was a great paper for me as well. What would be fun is to learn more about and experiment with metaphors, similes, and other literary tools to make a story more interesting. I have always wanted to write a book just for fun. I hate admitting to it cause I’m still a lousy writer, but maybe one day I will go for it. I loved reading Sister Elliot’s writing on her post.
I think what I came out of this class with most of all though is that I actually don’t mind writing. I mean it’s not my favorite, but I didn’t hate it… except maybe the research paper… that was a bit tedious… especially when I found out I had the rough draft a whole week early…
