Final Essay for this Class

        Well, this is the end Vyvial. I have had had a great time this semester, I can honestly say that I enjoyed it more in composition two than composition one. It was a combination one the essay selections that we were given and I guess how laid back the class was. Oh and I am sorry about how some days me, Ashley, Dalia, and Marlene all in that little corner in the back kept talking like all the time loud. The three major essays that were assigned were pretty easy to elaborate on and actually get through compared to the essays last semester. I especially liked this last essay we did, the proposal. I feel like we had so much freedom to really just say what was on our minds and talk about our thoughts on the situation. I loved it, thank you.

        Not going lie, there is not that much new skills that I learns this semester (sorry), but one thing that I did learn was how to properly use semicolon and colons in a sentence. Before this class, I never used either in an essay because I simply never new how to use them appropriately. Also I never knew the difference between them.

        One thing that I greatly improved on during this class is being able to write longer essays than I have ever had to before. Last semester’s essays had word counts far less and I had more trouble reaching those minimums than the minimums set for this semester. I know you said you wish the minimum word count per essay should be less and I agree. I higher word counts in a way force us to think more and research our topic more in turn teaching us more.

        As I said earlier in this paper, the essay that I liked the most and personally thought was the easiest write. What made it easy was the able to just write how I truly feel about the topic and how we would solve the problem. There was so much room to expand on in the essay because we were able to come up with as many solutions to the problem as we wanted to. And with each of those solutions I had a good long paragraph to back it up. The essay that I liked the least along with probably most of the class liked the least was the second one. Only because it required us to analyze this cause and effect video in a way that we have never had to before. It was just so different from any essay we have ever had to before. It felt very uncomfortable
