Debbie should have read through the test answering all the questions she knew right away. Then Debbie should have moved on to the essay since it was worth more.

Critically analyzing these text gave me a better grasp of some of the more conceptual ideas about language and writing. Lederer’s “The Case for Short Words” helped me understand that often long, complex words are not always preferable. Whenever I was revising my papers I always looked for words that were unnecessarily so. Some of the essays we read didn’t directly tie into my writing but helped me understand how certain choices influenced my consumption of the written word. Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stoopid?” and Naughton’s “The Internet: Is it Changing the Way We Think?” showed the impact technology has had on us related to reading and critical thinking.

Sarah Coomes English 101 26 November 2012 Revision In my revision of my essay on The Brothers McMullen I made a lot of changes! To start off with I took into consideration what you had written on my essay that I handed in and changed the obvious things. I made as many surface changes as I could; correcting my grammar was a big thing. When I was actually writing my essay and re-reading and editing it I didn’t even notice my little mistakes. It wasn’t until you handed them back that I was like, wow I turned this in like this?
They believed that, “We have a purpose, a certain audience, a particular stance, a genre, and a medium to consider- and often as not a design” (Bullock, Goggin 1). It is important to know what exactly your purpose is; all writing must have at least one. It helps you to understand how to proceed with your work.

Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.

Literacy Narrative All writers write for different reasons; whether it be expressing his or her opinion on a particular subject, or recording factual data from an experiment that had previously been conducted. Not everyone likes writing, just as not everyone likes mathematics or history. Personally, I LOVE writing. Writing, for me, whether it be in a diary, on a pad of paper, or even on a computer, has always been my favorite way of expressing my feelings. When writing, I have the freedom to express my opinion on a certain subject without having to worry about being judged if it is a controversial topic, or being ridiculed if my opinions seem to offend other people.
