This year has helped me grow as a student quite a bit. When I first started this class my writing skills were like any other average student and now I can take the skills i have learned and apply them in other classes. This class has also taught me many useful things out of school as well.
The argumentative essay was one of the most difficult to write because the structure and style of it was completely different from the previous ones we had learned. If we had spent some more time on this essay I could have mastered it a little better.
The easiest essay we learned about was the synthesis essay. The structure was very familiar and easy to comprehend. We spent so much time on this essay that it helped me analyze articles quickly and write the essay in a short amount of time. Over all i feel like I mastered this essay.
The best book we read this year was The Great Gatsby. The novel is just easy to follow and the plot and concept are very intriguing. It addresses current issues in society even though it was written so long ago and that fascinates me.
The novel I enjoyed the least was In Cold Blood. Although the plot was very interesting it wasn't as easy to follow and i found myself losing interest quickly.
I have enjoyed your class a lot and truly appreciate the things we have discussed. I feel as if I can carry the things we have learned into my everyday life and I will miss your class.
