What instances of Writer Based Prose can you find in yoru Essay 3 Draft? How could you make these moments more Reader Based?
I feel that my opinions may come on a little strong in the draft because since I’m a user of Twitter, it may seem like I know everything about it in which I don’t. It still needs a lot of work in which I’m waiting to get back the revised draft.
What are you most proud of with your rough draft? What are you struggling with the most?
I think what I’ve written makes a lot of sense and I thought that the trend is a very large, new site that is going to cause a lot of attention. The only thing I’m worried about is the organization. I think that it may be a little off unfortunately.
Take a moment to reflect. How do you think your academic writing has improved since the beginning of the semester? What positive changes can you see? Where would you like to improve more?
I believe that I have been able to express my thoughts in a more laid out manner and I have had a positive change in being able to work well with organization. I need to improve on transitions still but it is still a work in progress. I think piece by piece things are slowly coming together which is what I’ve needed since college papers are a lot different than easy high school essays.
What is a trend that interests you? What are some possible causes of it? Which of these causes do you believe is the main one?
I think the trend to tan in tanning booths is interesting because it was not like this 10 years ago. I think that the minds of the teenagers today think much differently than previously before which has made them think that they must tan to fit in. I think that society has put such a focus on looks and appearance now that it is causing teens and adults to risk the chance of skin cancer in order to have the appearance that they want.
Who is your audience for Essay 2? What have you done to meet your audience’s needs, and what could you do to meet them better?
My audience for essay 2 is the staff at Bowling Green that controls the tuition costs. I’m directly appealing to them why they should not raise tuition for the spring semester and I have worded things a little bit differently on my final essay to further intrigue the audience.
