Assignment #11- Analyzing and Writing Arguments

       For my third paper I analyzed the article “Should the Obama Generation Drop Out?” In this article the author used harsh, insulting and judgmental tone to get attention of the readers. However his tone with the interest attracts to read the article. At the same time he makes interesting points about the role of a bachelor’s degree with applying for a job. Also I understood from this article that in writing an argument you have to have very strong words and made very strong argumentative sentences to make an argument. The writer supports his argument by showing the statistics. To write my own argument, this article taught me to have a topic that will be interesting, and about a common issue in our every daily life, to grab reader’s attention. Moreover chosen a tone is also one of the most important things in your paper, so for my argument I will use soft and strong tone. In my paper I will try to give more of convincing evidence, use examples and include some statistics, to make my argument strong and support it.   

Assignment # 10 Peer Review

 Honestly I think, specifically the peer reviews we do in class doesn't help very much. Because we are students, don’t give each other good 
comments or feedback to improve our drafts. It could be because we don’t want to discourage each other or just because we don’t really pay attention in our classmate’s paper. In my opinion, peer review is very interesting, but I don’t get any help to improve my paper. For our third paper and so third peer review, I found it very helpful and interesting. The first time when we meet in group with the same chosen article helped me more understand what about my article and get the deep main idea of that article. When we meet second time for this assignment it was also a good idea to read our papers out loud and find out the purpose of our papers. I don’t know why, but first two peer reviews seem to me not helpful. For my third peer review, I got helpful feedback for the entire paper, and the main point of my chosen article. My ideal peer review is it exactly what we have. I think reading others papers is sometimes could really help to come up with new ideas and thoughts.

            Yes, I think it is helpful to do the peer review for earlier stages of the writing process, to get more information what is your purpose going to be. Working in the larger group to me more helpful, because many people have a different idea, this is helping to woke up our ideas. I feel we do have an appropriate time for the peer review, even sometimes finishing early than of the given time. 

Assignment # 9 Errors

           In my writing of papers I’m struggling with using the articles,sometimes I use them when they are not necessary, and sometimes I don’t use the articles when they are necessary. Also I’m being a wordy writer what making my sentences too general, and having unnecessary information. Another writing issue that I’m having is a sentence structure. Pretty often I’m confusing putting words in English structure, 

what makes my sentences hard to understand. 

These are my common mistakes and to avoid these mistakes, while proofreading I particularly looking a few times in my sentences, I’m trying carefully look for the articles as my mind already stick with this problem and whatever I write I always now I have miss on articles and have to find them before turning in the paper. To avoid my wordiness I’m looking for sentences reading them over and over and trying to think if I can write it shorter and keep the sentence formal, also if I can combine and make my sentences more concise. Moreover I’m sure that I have other mistakes too, but those are very common ones, and basically on those mistakes I have bad grades, and feedback. However feedback is a very helpful to improve writing.   For my future in writing I have a goal to improve these writing issues and I will achieve a success on them. 

Assignment # 8 Argument

         Summary

              In the story “Get Smart About College,” authors, Sandy Baum and Michael Mcpherson seriously bring up an issue about families who are thinking about college and thought they made good decisions about tuition and payments. However sometimes, even those thoughtful plans can turn into a problem. People are not always choosing a right decision about how much money to borrow or what college to graduate. However, the best colleges can’t be a good choice for everyone, especially for students who borrow money. Authors use common examples from the life they write about that is hard to find dependable information and there is nothing  free in our life. Changing our mind not always turn to a positive decision. Sandy and Michael mention that even a very logical planner could have a hard time to make a chic choice. In addition there is a possibility that it could turn into bad conclusion. Furthermore in this essay, authors give examples of common traps and how to beat them.

            According to the authors, it could be a big fault if people will choose schools with high prices without assuming that the cheaper ones are better.  Also parents should carefully think about their earnings and future coming payments as people don’t always have that stable income. 

       Reflection
    I chose this article because first of all, this is the most interesting topic to me out of five giving options.  I think,  choosing a right and good college is a really common issue for parents and students. I like this article and the authors arguments because while i was  reading this article, memories  about how my friends searched for a good and not expensive college was coming to my mind.

Assignment # 7 Reflection!!!

Looking back to my first posted blogs I don’t really think there are any improvements. Posting blogs every week is fun and interesting thing, but sometimes to have done them, to me is kind of little challenging. My goal for this class to learn to write effective and less wordy essays as my instructor notice me about my wordiness. So far we had written two essays, literacy narrative and ad analysis essays. Writing them wasn’t easy to me, I really struggle with my first essay, because the topic wasn’t really interesting to me, and it wasn’t an attractive topic to me. A topic is very important to me, because if the topic interesting and I have interesting story or information about I very easily could write my ideas down, whereas otherwise I struggling with it.  Thinking critically about how I have developed as a writer, I don’t think a have many developments, for this very short time. Specifically probably class discussions petty mach spur those developments. Also readings from the book and discussion them in class with the teacher is giving more deeply understanding of the text, than I got by reading at home. In overall I wouldn’t and don’t have any comments to change something in our class to better facilitate my learning process.

Does my writing change since of the beginning of the semester? I don’t have a strong answer for this question. To me yet my writing process is still at the same level as it was before. However, I really hope that at the end of the semester I will have a change in my writing process as a good writer and won’t struggle that much as I do now. About improvements of writing I could say “yes”, because the revisions that we doing on our essays is really helping me to improve my writing a lot.  Doing revision is helped to find many of your mistakes and to make a good paper. I think this is the good thing to know what mistakes or errors u should look in future papers, so not to repeat them over and over.
