Researching this essay was harder than a lot of the other essays that i have had to do on topics like this and writing it was even harder than that because i had to both convey what i needed to while still making it clear that this isn't the largest problem in the world. I'm improving in researching and finding evidence to support my thesis and being able to use it in my essays. i still need to work on my paragraph structure and using MLA format. The one thing that is really hard for me to do with these essays is starting them and deciding how i want to write it and then that keeps going for a while and i end up doing it at the last minute so i need to work on getting my work done early.
I feel good about my first full essay in this class. I feel i did good with my commas and semi colons like this sentence ¨This is a glittering generality especially in America because The American Dream is a big positive message for people to look up to; moreover, by saying that he is the embodiment of The American Dream makes people like him.¨ I think i need to work on not capitalizing things that shouldn't be capitalized like when i kept capitalizing ethos and pathos when they were in the middle of a sentence and shouldn't be capitalized.
This year i have learned more than just performing and getting good grades. I think this is because instead of just reading and article and annotating and then turning it in we are discussing why we said what we said in class. This helps us learn because we get to see other peoples perspective and learn why they said something different.
I think that education is very important but i think the way we do it is terrible. We have become so consumed with getting the best grades and test scores that it makes school the worst place to be. Of course a lot of it depends on the teacher but the teacher has to teach what the administrators tell them to. That is where all of the problems lie; the administration. The reason for this is they make all the rules but they are not in the classes to see how those rules affect people or their learning like the students and teachers are.
