How to Write a Synthesis Essay

The topic was very interesting to me and although the paper was a finished product it definitely could have been further expanded. I am motivated to go back and add to the first paper because the medias impact on children minds was a really interesting topic and I would like to further expand my knowledge on the subject. I believe by exploring the benefits the…

Although the course was going to be challenging from the beginning of the semester, the…

the main point across. I strengthened the weakness of not addressing the prompt by attempting to write thoroughly explicit bullet points for the writing prior to forming the rough draft. I then worked on ways that I could repair that mistake which then leads to attempting to make the prompt be addressed in a creative mindset.

adapting to a new teaching style. While last semester, my learning came from new concepts like ethos, pathos, logos and knowing what they are and how they work. My learning last semester was all about learning how to describe a text instead of summarizing it and developing an argument with evidences from the text. My Composition II class really taught me how to be attentive to things that I did not care about before. Unit One: Descriptive Essay The first unit was probably the unit where I…

Going into this college writing class, I did not know what to expect. All I anticipated about this class was that it is a general education class, that was required to graduate. I figured there was essays, but I did not expect how much. This class has taught me good information that can further help with my writing career. I said at the beginning of the year that I might want to do a fashion blog. With the material, I learned in this class I can make it be persuasive, professional, and fun.…

dream down when I woke up, and re-writing what I remembered a few days later. Anything changed or substituted from the original dream would be the repressed symbol used to start a free association. The word I left out from the original dream in my re-write was the word “store” when referring to my friend James as the “store manager”.

For my rhetorical and visual analysis paper, I chose to write about the visual storytelling of an art school’s ad and how it was weak in its presentation. When I decided to write my thoughts on this topic, I wanted to illustrate my professional opinion on advertising and how important it is to touch on all aspects of rhetoric when working on a visual. I also wanted to include this essay rather than my rhetorical narrative paper because I was much more passionate on the topic of analyzing this…
