My overall topic for these projects
was animal rights. I some way or another I related my projects to animals and their
rights. Throughout this semester, I actually found out enough about my topic to
actually change my point of view towards animal rights. My main goal for this
semester was to become a more creative writer and to be able to express my
ideas through writing. Before this
class, every time I had to write a paper I would dread writing it and stress
myself out. I was unable to write papers that had to do with expressing my
opinion on a topic because I was unable to find the words to write how I felt
about a topic. This class made me discover my creative side and I was able to
write these longer papers easily while still being able to make sure the papers
flow tighter easily and express my own ideas. This class taught me to not just
jump right into writing a paper, like they teach you in high school, but rather
think of it as a step process were you have a design plan and do research first.
This class also taught me how to write synthesis paragraphs, so that writing
long papers is not as hard as you would think. Before this class, my writing
was really poor, which you can probably notice in my first paper, and I believe
my writing has improved tremendously over the course of the semester.
