reflection on argument paper
A good argument paper has to have to audience, have to be arguable and have a both side story between the positives from the negatives. By what I have learn today assume benevolence is by trying to get into your audience head. I think I could persuade the lower class of society and maybe the middle and high class. Base on my revision I cannot be so bias or passive.
The first thing I have trouble with is my audience. I really don’t focus or think about the audience. First of all to make it more effective I have to write more because I only wrote the thesis. I think my writing could be good but it seems I write in a passive way which I do not realize entirely only after it is graded. I just have to think about my audience more and making good sentence.

reflection of my literacy narrative
I think this assignment was fairly easy just because the fact that we had to write about ourselves and the history of my life that deals with language. I did not think it was much of a challenge because I did not put much thought into it, but I did put most about my interactions which I had to remember. It was interesting because I was learning how I am as a person and I also learned that I have grammar errors which I knew because language arts always been my worst subject. I did not know how badly I wrote my paper, but then again I didn’t put much thought because of the fact that it was a rough draft so I hurried and did my paper even though it took me a whole hour to finish because I was planning first and then I started to write out the paper which was easy
When I was assigned this assignment I thought to myself this is going to take a while. As I was reading the assignment I looked and thought that this is going to be fairly easy. All I did was answer the questions, the professor had on the assignment. It was quite fun as I was answering the questions which later I learn what I need to write. I did enjoyed a little bit about this assignment because I found out what kept me going through life even though I did not put my entire life story with language. The reason I enjoyed it a bit was is that I am not as comfortable to express myself whole heartily because I never told everything or anything about my life to someone not even my family or friends. The only friend I have talked to everything and helped me reevaluate my thought with God because I always thought that I should solve my own personal problems not have any others to help me because I did not want to be a bother to anybody.
I later learn what are my strong points and weak points after it was revised by my classmates. I found out that I’m not a good writer but I could make my point across. I did not know how much I need help on with grammar I knew that I did needed the help, but not as much as I thought. I tried to make my paper sound interesting and intellectual to others that reads it
