Essay Questions

• What was the greatest challenge that you faced in the composition?
Does this mean while I was writing the essay? Im going to go with that. Well, overall it was a very easy essay to write. I have always been decent at writing essays because they seem to come somewhat natural to me. I have never had trouble writing. However, I think if I were to choose something that gave me some trouble would be word selection. My word usage is pretty basic. I normally just use the word "running" whereas in this descriptive essay, I replaced the word with sprinting. I just had to make sure I went back through and changed some of the words for the best detail.
• Finding a topic?
Picking a topic was relatively easy. Pretty much everything I write about (when I get to choose) is based on horses. That is because it is what I know best. I have owned/ridden horses for over 10 years and it is a major part of my life, so of course I am going to feel comfortable writing about that subject. So, you will probably be seeing alot of papers from me aboout horses and my experience with them. =)
• Getting the computer to cooperate?
I never had a problem with this computer at school which is where I did the majority of the writing. However, I did do some touch up work on the essay at my house on my own computer and of course, the power shut off lol. But luckily, word auto saved it for me so I was extremely relieved! Overall though, both computers worked well.
• Adequate development?
I had no problems with the develoment af my essay, considering it was basically just a story. Those are by far the easiest because you just go in order of how the events happened. My favorite!

-------------------

• Explain how YOU reacted to reading other blogs.
I definitely like reading other peoples blogs
• Did you enjoy it?
I did enjoy it. I love reading other people's essays!
• Was it more of a pain and aggravation?
No not at all. I have no life anyway so it was kind of fun going through some of the other students blogs and looking at their essays.
• What did YOU gain in reading and , more importantly, commenting on the blogs you read?
In reading 0ther people's blogs, it made me realize that every person has their own style of writing. It was really interesting to see how everyone structured their essays. I enjoyed seeing what topics people chose. Some were extremely unique and I learned some things about people that I had never realized before.
• When you went back to YOUR own blog and to your essay that you posted, did the comments that were made give you reason to look at your essay more closely? Why -- or why not?
I didnt really recieve alot of constructive criticism so for this essay, I didnt really go back and change much based on the comments. I would like some people to post some things that I need to change so that I can better my writing skills. So everyone needs to tell me what I need to change lol
