Caroline- Student prompt


Max-Writing center appointment 

Writing Center

At first, the thought of the writing center for me was just one of those priorities that I had to get done before the end of the semester. I realized that the end was coming and that I had made some pretty good progress with my paper, so I made an appointment. Now that I've been I would definitely go again, my writing fellow helped me with several things that I would not have thought of on my own.

 Going to the writing center was a great way to get another opinion on my paper and the great thing is that I could trust this opinion because I knew that all of the writing fellows are great writers! I made progress in areas that I was unsure about and I asked questions that helped me figure out what direction I was going to take with my paper!  I would recommend going whenever you could use just a little extra help on some writing, I know that I will go again because overall I found the experience very helpful and friendly.

Makenzie- Spootify

Words.

Click. Click. Click. I hear the sound of the my fingers tapping the keyboard as I try to think about what I should write. I type and erase, and then repeat. Then it comes to me; what I did not realize was that my topic was right in front of me. Words. I never really take a minute to think about words. They seem so normal to us, we learn them as little kids and then they just become our lives. Where would we be without words? Why do they matter? I think in words, I speak in words, and I type words. My life is full of them. 

 I get out what I want to say, and I am able to make my point. Our speech is on of those things that we take for granted, if we actually stop to think about it, our lives revolve around what we say. Our realtionships become something more, and we express oursleves through what we get out. Words give us a whole personality, and we become us. Something that seems so simple can become so complex. I sit back and think, my mind filling with words that keep my life running. 

literary analysis process

I enjoy writing and to my suprise I actually have really enjoyed writing my literary analysis rough draft and going through the process. My topic is something that I am interested in and something that I can write a lot about, maybe even a little too much. Right now, I am almost finished with my rough draft with just the conslusion left to write. So far im on the fifth page, and I feel like there is so much more that I can say. That has probably been one of the most challenging things for me, because I do not know what I need to say and also what it not important. I think that will be one of the things that I can work on for my final draft.

 Overall, the process has been pretty easy for me because I completed a thorough outline and have a strong thesis. Once I had those I just started to build on to them. I also went to the writing center and I found it very helpful, I will probably go back near the end of the writing process. It is nice to get another perspective on your paper from another student who is confident in what they are saying and they know what they are doing. I am looking forward to my final draft and getting out the message that I hope to through my writing.
