Letter to the reader.

Over the course of this class I have improved greatly as a writer. I learned different ways to organize my writing, techniques, different places to put my thesis statement, and how to properly use definitions. What I still haven't improved on though is titles. I'm just not that creative. I did grow through being able to use either point by point, or block writing, or changing the order of events in my paper. I also got better at using dialogue, making it sound more realistic. I usually have a problem with making it sound too proper. I also liked using sarcasm in two of my papers and was able to use that better as well. My favorite paper to write though was the definition paper. I liked defining something, using obvious definitions and hidden ones. I learned how to incorporate many examples but still keep it within the topic of the paper. I also learned the difference between classification and division and enjoyed reading the papers picked out for us. I liked learning how to do the "proposal" and wished we actually had to write that paper. Over all I think I grew a lot as a writer and am better prepared to actually write papers in college without them all sounding the same or boring.
