Assignment#15- Final reflection

     Now that I had looked back at my first and seventh blogs I realized that I had improved my writing skills. I feel that I have achieved 50% in writing because when I compare my first paper to the last one there was a lot of difference in it. I felt that I have reached my goal in someway. I wanted to write essay in college level and choose the vocabulary which fits in there, I think I had done a good job in that. 
    My strengths are that I know how to write a main point and I know how to choose a college level vocabulary for essays. I would like to develop more on these strengths for further in writing. My weakness is that I still have trouble in writing a strong sentence for thesis or for a main idea of a story. I have been including some points in essays which are not necessary or I am not talking about it in later  in the essay. I still have to work on organizing the essay. Overall, I am satisfied that I had improved my writing in a way that I want.

Assignment#14- Planning for revisions
 


     For my portfolio I chose to revise my literacy narrative essay. The strength of my paper is that I have well written the story. In the essay I have explained what are some conflicts during the writing process of an assignment and how I completed it. The weakness of my paper is that I gave too may details which I could write specific. In middle of the essay I could have included some information, but I didn't. 
   To be more perfect in the essay I will correct the weakness in my paper. I will work on including some information that was needed in the story. Also, there are some sentences which I have to reword them. There are minor mistakes of verbs and run-ons and those can be fixed as well. If I fix these mistakes I will have perfect essay.

Assignment# 13: Analyzing and Writing Arguments



      I analyzed the aricle called "Don't Presume to Know a Pig's Mind". In that article the author has a strong argument. He started the article by explaining an commercial ad by Chipotle and argued what's wrong in that ad. Becuase of their ad the large buyer of bacon, McDonald's, took a strong decision which is not helpful to farmers. In that ad the author was supporting farmers and targeting Chipotle's commercial ad. He has done everthing well, but he should have explained how the pigs were treated in crowded building and why the farmers have to keep their pigs in buildings.This article taught me how I have to be careful in writing my argumantative essay. I have to give enough and clear information, so readers can be convinced and understand what I was trying to say. In my essay I have to stay more focused on my main thesis and be able to give the right amount of facts.
Assignment# 12: Thinking Critically About Evidence




     I was going argue about Should humans be vegetarian. I was going to argue that humans can live healthy with vegetables. I will explain how will vegetables helps us and what other foods that can help our immune system much better.

Logos:

     - Health

Pathos:
     - Obesity
     - Live longer

Ehtos
     - Religion

  •  My strongest point is that I will provide all vegetable names or some rear vegetables no one heard about before and how they will help us. I will explain what is the use for example, control of obesity, have stronger immune system and etc. In my argument I'm going to prove that what do we need for our body to be healthy and how vegetables will function our body.
  • My weakest point is that I will write about Hindu religion. I will explain why don't they eat meat and what do they to be healthy. I said this is the weakest point becuase some people might disagree with this religion bussiness, but I'm going make it as a strong point in convincing how hindus are living without meat and healthy. And I will convince that they living longer and healthier.
