Its An A+ Paper! Is It?

When I write a paper I say to myself, "yes it's a good paper!" but really is it a good paper or not? This is always a question I ask whenever I write a paper because honestly nobody writes a good paper on their first try and that's me right there!

I don't write A+ papers and yes I've written C papers which I may not be most proud of, but hey I wrote a of which I'm proud of because I tried my best. It may have not contained what my teacher expected it to contain, yes it included run on sentences, misuse of vocabulary and most likely have a bad body structure; but that's why we edit and proofread papers.

What really makes a good strong paper is if you have a strong thesis no matter on what you're writing about it's always good to have a something that one could argue about as a reader and a writer. Another thing that makes a good and efficient paper is chronological order. It is a must that you organize all of the events or ideas in order. You cannot write something you did last first. That just ruins your paper and it confuses the reader as they read.

Lastly is having a conclusion. All conclusions are important because you just can't start writing about a problem and ending it without giving the reader the opportunity to conclude what the writer did to solve the problem.

When I write a paper, I always find it easy to focus on the chronological order because this guides me into writing a good paper. Having all the events in order makes a better and stronger paper and it doesn't look like you're all over the place and that to me is the important key to having an efficient "A" paper!

Ideas For My Literacy Narrative

For my literacy narrative I am thinking on writing about a paper I wrote for my world literature class in my senior year. I wrote the paper for the Hispanic heritage month. The teacher told us to write about a Hispanic person that had influenced Hispanics or did something important for others or their community. This paper was very significant to me because I have never written a paper that has been selected to participate in a contest among other writers in from different in Chicago.

I think that writing about this experience would be great for my literacy narrative because this paper was very significant for me and I think I can convey how I felt before writing papers and how I felt after I wrote this essay and also the feeling that I received when my paper was selected to enter an important contest.

Why Do I Have Write?

WRITING!!! Oh how exciting isn't it? Well to most not really. Writing is such a long process. It has to be long, edited, and readable. Yeah to most it's a drag and I'm not going lie it does drag I personally don't like writing as much as I love science.

The reason why is because I find it hard to write a paper on a topic that is assigned to me. Perhaps since it's something that I'm being asked to write about I find it hard and time consuming, but if it were for my own purpose, then gladly I would write paragraphs on what I want to say. Of course I'm not the best writer in the world, but when I write for myself, I feel free to say whatever I want without being judged or critized by teachers and that's when writing becomes fun.

As mentioned before, I'm not the best of writers and I have much learning to do to become a better writer and as a student I'm required to take English 101, but even if it's a required course I'm taking it because I do want to become a beter writer not only because of that but because I somewhat enjoy English itself. I like the idea of the many different type of writing styles and how they all differentiate. Also because I would like to learn how to use different words, instead of using the same ones ( I want to extend my vocabulary.) And lastly I just want to enjoy what English has to offer.
