Writing Topic: Rules for Writers chapter 46

In the 'Rules for Writers' chapter 46, talked about the major points of text. Text can refer to essays, books and etc. It gives you step by step on how to analyze a text and how to take notes. There's 2 steps that they have found helpfull for students to understand. First, you have to annotate the text. Annotating basically means that your observing the text and writing down any questions that you may get while reading the text. Second step that they have found helpful is underylining the main keys points of the text. Say you come across a major point, you underline it, that way when your done reading the whole text, you cokme back and find the main point is. Doing all of these helpful steps will make you become a better writer.

I find that this chapter taught me alot about how to take notes and analyze a story. You see i find english really hard and sometimes confusing, but i feel now i can really use this helpful steps for my current english class. I loved how it explained the difference between summarizing the text from analyzing a text. I hope this will come helpfull during the next couple assingments. I plan to use it when we have reading assignments and when we have to start writing essays. I hope that it will be easy as the book explains it.

"Free Writing Excerises" Dialogue

When I hear the word free write, I automatically know that a freewrite is when your teacher gives you 10 or 15 minutes to write about anything you want. When I mean anything, it really means anything. The real purpose of a freewrite is to put all your ideas into one paper without really worrying about grammar or spelling. Say that you cant think of anything to write, just write on the paper you can’t think of anything over and over until you can think of something to write. That’s why freewrite’s are fun, because you can express yourself without having to worry about spelling or any errors. Freewrite makes our writing stronger because it lets us put all our ideas down on a piece of paper and at the end we can combine and gather good information from it.

As I learn more and more about freewrite’s, its just surprise’s me how much a freewrite can do. I’m not going to lie but I thought freewrite’s were just to free write about anything, but as I learn more I see that freewrite’s can come I into handy when doing an essay, or just a way to put ideas together. I feel that in the future freewrite’s will come in handy and I can’t wait to use this technique.

Introductions Dialogue

Hi, My name is Myra Alvarez. I was born in Santa Rosa but raised in a small town named Healdsburg. I just barely moved to Santa Rosa about two years ago, and let me tell you what a big difference Santa Rosa is compared to Healdsburg. About a year ago, I became a Certified Phlebotomist, it’s the coolest job I could have ever chosen. Right now I’m back at school trying to become a Registered Nurse. I’m not married nor have any kids. I’m just tiring to do as much as I can before I start a family of my own.
English is not my best subject, just because it was always a little more confusing to me. I hope that I will learn new writing skills and new reading skills. I love to learn but I learn better seeing it done. This is also my first time taking an English class online. I’m very excited and I hope to learn a lot from this class and pass it on to my younger nieces and nephews.
I have taken English 100 last semester and my teacher was really hard on the assignments and quizzes, unfortunately I’m here again taking the class. I’m more nervous just because this is my second try and I don’t want to fail this time. I was disappointed but I’m starting out fresh and clean this year. I cant wait for to see how much I can learn from this class.
