After a year of focused work in English I feel I have developed the
skill to articulate what I want to convey to the reader in multiple
ways. Looking at my most recent paper, the research paper, I think that I
have grown at organization and careful flow of thoughts. The research
paper I wrote was on the “Israeli Palestinian Conflict”. I could have
chosen an easier subject to research, but I felt I had acquired the
skills that I needed to really learn and understand this complicated
issue. My dad’s side of the family is all Jewish and throughout my life I
have always heard them talking about the conflict in Israel. I wanted
to learn for myself each side of the story and then choose a side for me
to take. After heavy research, I’ve realized that each group of people
has valid
points on why they think the holy land should be theirs. Using
this 10th grade English class, I have furthered my knowledge
on current events and what’s going on in the world around me. I would
say that “The Israeli Palestinian Conflict” was my favorite piece to
write.
Another paper that I really enjoyed writing and felt I had a lot of
insight on was the in class essay we wrote on “Black Boy” one day. As I
was whipping out my ideas on paper I realized I was citing a lot of what
happened in the book, and I was becoming increasingly talented at using
specific information from a book source in a paper I was writing. I
think that “Black Boy” affected me a lot also because there were a lot
of racial issues and prejudice that really focused me into understanding
what times were like back then. I think reading that book in class
improved my reading skills because Richard Wright had a specialty at
conveying emotions. I’ve learned from him to add more of what my
characters are feeling and thinking when I’m writing.
