Reflection

World Disasters Research - Oklahoma City Federal Building Bombing
|
I chose to include this work because it shows my improvement in my research papers. I think that it is the most well-written paper that I have written because it flows easily and makes the material easy for the reader to understand. At first I was having trouble with taking all the individual research points and putting them together in one unified paper, but then I wrote the paper as if I were talking about it rather than writing about it, and it make more sense. I think that the entire paper is well-written and a success.

Personal Narrative Essay
|
I chose to include this work because it is one of my favorite writings this year and it portrays a very meaningful experience that I had. I worked very hard to convey the importance in my life of getting contacts, and I believe that I did an adequate job. This work represents how excited I was to see the world through contacts rather than my glasses.

Pillow Book Entry - Things to Fill a Hole
|
I chose to include this work because I think it is one of the most powerful works of writing that I have done this year and it portrays a lot of my emotions with striking force. In this writing I attempted to vary my syntax by varying sentence length and using hyphens in order to make it more powerful. I used one-word sentence fragments followed by a lengthy sentence, then another short sentence or fragment. This made the shorter sentences much more powerful and it made the entry more meaningful than one full of lengthy sentences would be.
