Hits and Misses

The piece of writing that I felt most successful with was my research paper. I feel like I completed this paper to the best of my ability and revised it several times to make it my best piece of writing this year. I put a lot of time and effort into this piece of writing, and I also had a lot of time to write this paper so I had time to revise it. I think that my word choice, sentence structure, and in text citation abilities drastically improved over the course of writing my research paper. I also learned how to incorporate many different documents into one academic paper without plagiarizing.

The one piece of writing that I found the difficult to write this year was the literary analysis of Lord of the Flies. I didn't really like this book, which meant I didn't want to spend more time writing a paper about it. I also find that I have trouble analyzing things and giving my honest opinion in a paper. I think that I did improve on stating my opinion and analyzing the book, but it was a struggle to get through the literary analysis. I went to the writing center while writing this paper, and I think that this made my paper much better and made me realize what I needed to work on.
