                                             General Reflection

     Throughout this class we have written many drafts and for three major assignments. Writing isn’t my favorite subject so i had a hard time writing my essays. The three major essays we wrote was a personal analysis essay, a poem analysis essay and a song analysis essay. These essays helped me improve in having tensions in my essay and thoroughly explaining about the topic. I learned how to be specific which made my essays good at some points. I never  analyzed a poem which made it hard for me to do the poem analysis essay. But i also learned how to analyze a poem and now i realize that a poem means more than it says. The three essays were complicated in their own way but Out of the three essays the song analysis essay i liked the most because i knew about the song i was able to fully analyze the song and make the reader understand what the song meant. The essay that i disliked is the poem analysis because i was struggling and i don’t read poems as a daily thing to understand what these poems are saying. But throughout class and class feedback i was able to understand the poem and able to write my essay even though it lacked some components. Macro and Micro edits were a huge part throughout all the essays because it shaped the essay and made it compelling based on the work and edits we do after the page. Another component for the essay Is telling details which is to write something that’s compelling to make the audience interested in the essay. Overall this class helped me improve in writing essays and understanding how to analyze and expand my thought and work with other people.
