Did you accomplish your goals?

In this English 111 course, I think I have accomplished my goals. My main goals were to pass this class and to improve in my writing. I think I have done both which is good. I am passing this class and this is the only class that I have a superior grade in. I think I have also improved in my writing because the last essay assignment was a better grade than the first essay assignment. I think this class has helped me in my writing because I learned about commas, semicolons, and how to write good papers. This class did help me accomplish my goals of becoming a better writer.

Writing Quick Start p. 201

The people in this scene are mourning over a person who has been tragically murdered in the Virginia Tech shooting incident. The events of a person who has brought a gun to school and violently shot at the people around him, killing and wounding some, has let up to this person's death. The people who are mourning for this person are loved ones who were close to this person. They are probably the parents of the deceased, looking over the memorial and mourning about their child. The objects left at the scene are significant because they represent the school that the person went to and how the person led up to his tragic death. The flowers are significant because it shows that the person was cared for and these are just memories and objects that represent how this person lived.

Informative and Surprising Questions

I am proudest of the subject of this paper because I feel like I explained the subject and my points of my paper very well. I also like it because I think that it is quite surprising to most people who do think that hybrid cars have no flaw at all. The most difficult aspect of writing this paper was looking and researching all the information and finding the sources. There were so many sources that did not explain the points that I wanted to prove about my subject. I would revise my explanation of how the car works because some people might now know how or what hybrid cars really are. I would research how it works and tell the reader in my paper how it works and why they are preferred to be used now.
