Reflection on essay#1
01/16/16
During my first timed essay writing for English 1A class was
a head scratching experience. My topic for the assignment was choosing a living
American artifact and I chose the “Hamburger”.
It took me a while, to come up the topic as I wanted to sound different. Also,
it was hard to find something that people can describe an American culture
artifact. I stepped out of myself and imagined how other people outside of the
country see us or what popular item America is known for.
I learned little more about myself after completing my timed
essay and reading it afterwards. My biggest dilemma I would say is starting to
write, I constanly think too much and do not know where to begin. I think I
took about a third of my time allowed just thinking how and what to write
about. Once I started writing I felt better and ready to continue on. Altough,
I noticed I was going beyond topic for a moment and at one point I had to
delete a paragraph, because I got
controversial and critiquing. Reading over my essay, I came to notice missing
words to a couple of sentences, probably the reason was for the time limit
allowed. My goal is going to be learn new behaviors to improve my critical
thinking and writing.
