Blog 1- revision

I chose my Literary Narrative because I wanted to compare and revise how my original writing at the beginning of freshman year compared to the end. I most definitely grew as a writer this year because I could just pick out the words and ideas that were out of place. As in the beginning I thought this essay was wonderful. I focused on organization, sentence fluency, and conventions which were the traits of good writing that I felt this paper was lacking on. Organization wise I totally changed the view and outcome of my narrative to a more meaningful and unified ending. This instantly made my paper better because now it has a clear defined point and purpose which flowing thoughts.As it came to my conventions, I used grammarly and just reading over my essay out loud to myself to fix many grammar problems my essay had with it. This made it sound better and more professional as it was told. Lastly, I chose to focus on sentence fluency by taking away many of the unnecessary similes and metaphors that I used in the beginnning of the year. Many of them just did not make sense. These few changes definitely impacted my paper for the better and just thinking about how these writing traits impacted my paper so greatly will help me succeed next year in English.
