what i learned from W131
I learned a lot from this semester in W131. I learned that there is more about writing then just writing little essay like back in high school. my favorite essay i would have to say is the happiness one. the reason for this one because i enjoyed writing about my family and how this experience changed me as a young child. i worked hours and hours on this essay trying to make it better to where i grab my readers eyes to finish reading the story. the main point of this essay was to teach us how little things can make you happy. and how you don't need a lot of money to make you happy. while writing this essay we were reading deep economy which is a great book to read. It made it really interesting to get into the role of this essay because it talked about our economy and how people think that money is everything. and if you don't have money then your not happy which is not true at all. I think i grew a lot from this essay from a thinker and writing. This class as helped me become a better writer and have more knowledge to where i hope that this will help me in my future at IUPUI.

Yeah, I agree on how all of these essays that we have been working on this semester are much different than the ones we did in High School. I feel like these essays have challenged or minds to really think outside of the box and incorporate our own ideas into our papers. Unlike in high school where the papers had topics and rules and guidlines that we had to follow in order to get a good grade on the essay.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there is more to writing than wht we've learned in highschool, and the Happiness essay was my favorite as well. However, although I do not agree with Deep Economy being a great book, I feel as though it helped greatly in terms of direction for determining what happiness is.
