I believe griffin is a great writer. I like the way she disscuses the things in which makes us human such as our secrets. She talks about how all humans have secrets that may link us ttogether. She shifts subjects quite frequently but I think that this is a good thing because it keeps me interested into the story that I am reading. I like when she discussed the issue of equality for women. I like this because I feel that even though I am not a female, this topic reffering to women is sorta kinda swept under the rug. She talks about the contribution that women made to the nation such as WWII, when the men were at war the women had to pick up the slack and produce materials for the US. This is never really talked about, so for her to draw attention to this matter was a very good sight to see, or read rather. She talks about her life as well and I think that this was a good idea to put in her book. When u become personal in your creative piece of writing it is always a good idea simply because it keeps the reader in tune with whats going on in whatever book you are writing. Susan Griffin does an excellent job at capturing this and putting this in her book. I am looking forward to reading more books that she has written. She does a great job at making relations to her on life to make the book better.

Project #1 Analysis

I believe that the project writing went very well. I thnk that it was easy for me to write about the topic becuz I was very interested in the book’s story. I liked the fact that I cud get creative because that’s simply what writing is all about. I want all of the major projects this semester to be as easy to be creatve as this one. I usually brainstorm and that’s exactly what I did this time because it made writing this paper a whole lot easier. I was able to come up with ideas and insert them right where they shud go into my paper. I believe peraonally that my paper was good, better yet great becuz of the relations that I used within the paper. I compared myself to the author’s characters. I did this so that my paper wud make more sense and it will engage whomever chooses to read it. I used my relations to also make my paper flow as well. I also came up with different transitions to use that made my paper flow to. Instead of using transition words in every new paragraph, I used them when I needed to. I learned that from my peer edits. I also like the fact that everyone in the class was able to help each other becuz I know for a fact that I needed help becuz I was kind of stuck writing my paper. I had a lot of peer feedback throughout the two days we used it. The two people that I had to help me were great and they made my writing process go a lot smoother. The feedback helped my paper to become as successful as it did. I wanted to also get very detailed within my paper too. I also got that from my peer review. I learned that not only does a detailed paper get a better grade but it also makes the paper longer in length as well. I think that this is a very important thing to learn in college becuz in college there are classes that want you to write up to 8 pages and it is hard to to do that without details. Overall I feel great about my writing success.

The writing process for me is pretty straight forward. I sometimes brainstorm. I mostly brainstorm. It is a very important process to me because it allows all of the creative juices to get to flowing. I have always used brainstorming since like, mhmm ummmm elementary school. I use the bubbles still believe it or not. It definitely works when I am working on something that is stressing me out completely. I then transfer my ideas into another type of organiztizational method. I use roman numerals and subtitles to organize my ideas form my bubble map. I think personally its kinda coo to see all your ideas coming together so easily. It makes the writing process so fun and so relaxing. I like how when I write and use different writing process methods my paper comes out so nice and neat. I then like to come up with my introduction and my conclusions early because these are the main things thts gonna make your paper quote on quote POP! I come up with the body of my creative work last. In a way I work sort of backwards. I think it’s better like this. This way of me writing has gotten me thru a lot tough papers. Papers in which I thought I wouldn’t get thru I did becuz of it. I also elaborate on any data that I came up with and any examples that I came up with. I want to always make sure that my paper is filled with a lot of details and examples becuz that’s also what makes a great paper, and im all for great papers. I also come up with a ton of transition words becuz transition words help a paper run from idea to idea smoothly. I usually list the transition words separately. Then once I finish my entire paper I go bac and look at the words I constanly used throughout the entire paper and I use the dictionary to come up with different words as well as a thesaurus. I love writing and I also love describing what I do to help my paper thrive.
