Learning from Writing

While drafting my image analysis essay I felt that I learned more about being incredibly descriptive with my writing. Before taking on this essay, other than in story writing, I had never really wrote quite as descriptively as the image analysis essay called for. Though I already knew a good deal of how to compare and contrast, I learned more of how to use ethos, logos, and pathos to give more depth to an essay, something which helped me lengthen it to a decent size.
When writing the synthesis essay on the other hand, I felt I did not learn as much, likely because I already had experience with it from AP Language my junior year in high school. I felt as if my synthesis essay was a little short though, I felt as if I didn’t have enough material to properly synthesize a proper argument.

  1. I also have learned how to be more descriptive with writing academic papers. Especially with the image analysis assignment we had, after writing it I then began to become more enganged with my writing and tried to use techniques to help my readers get the full picture as if they were looking at it through my eyes.

  4. I also found that using ethos, logos, and pathos helped give more depth to my essay. It gave me a good deal more to write about and in turn helped me to lengthen my paper.
