Over all this semester I have learned a great deal about writing and being able to think outside the box and really comprehend the hidden message of things. One of those things includes happiness. This was the first thing we talked about in English and it has had an important role throughout the semester; so if you had a unique concept of what happiness is or if you thought it was the Webster’s generic definition of happiness you brought that with you this whole semester. Not only did I learn about what happiness was, but I also learned many new techniques to write a good paper. I initially thought that writing a good paper was all about the structure and organization, but in reality it’s more of how you present your ideas and what you put into them. Writing an essay is not something that just happens over night, but over a long period of time that includes revising and editing your drafts to narrow it down to one final perfect piece of literature.
Throughout the semester we have been taught different ways to write an essay and different ways to develop one. For me, wallowing in complexity was the most intriguing and successful way to write. This allows me to come up with new ideas that may not have been seen before and present them in a way that is appealing to an audience. The audience is a big factor too, it allows you to write to a specific group of people whom might enjoy your essay more than others because they can relate to the topic at hand.
I have to say that this English class has been the most beneficial English class I have ever taken because we were told to leave behind the traditional ways of writing an essay in high school and develop a method in which we actually enjoy what we’re writing about and make it mean something other than the same old 5 paragraph essay we learned how to write in high school.
