"Good" Papers

     organizing your paper-  first thing that makes a good paper is how you organize your paper. I believe the difference between an A to a C paper is how you organize your ideas. A good paper must have good organization of ideas and have a good flow when a person reads your paper. If your ideas are all over the place a reader might not be able to understand what the paper is about. You want to be as clear as you can be and get your point across your audience. A good organization of paragraphs will keep the reader interested in what you are writing.
      second thing i believe is the difference between an A paper and a C paper is  grammar mistakes and sentence structure. A C paper might have some grammar mistakes and a few good sentence structures. An A paper will have good sentence structures using conjunction words such as FANBOYS and even transition words. An A paper will also have a few grammar mistakes that we all make such as there and their. This is important because a reader will be able to understand better what you are writing.
       third thing i believe is the difference between an A paper and a C paper is a good topic. A writer needs a good topic to write about because they need to be able to get good points and plenty of them to not repeat them over. An average paper may have some points,and then are repeated just in a different way. A good paper will have different points and plenty to talk about to keep the reader interested.

For me writing with good sentence structures and not having a lot of grammar mistakes is difficult for me. i cant really write good complex sentences unsing conjunctions. i also make quite a few grammar mistakes that are silly. i am horrible at making complex sentences that involve using conjunctions such as therefore, meanwhile, whenever, although and ect... i also make mistakes with words such their, there, quiet, quite, ect... sometimes i feel silly for letting this kinds of little mistakes get pass me.

Generating ideas

      I dont know many ideas of narrative writtings i can write about.  I am personally horrible at thinking about narrative writings i can write about. one idea for a narritive essay i can write about about is horrible experience. i believe i can describe a bad experience that has happen to me. this is  a good narrivite writting because it involves recalling a memory. it is also a good narrative because its for a general type of audience. everyone can relate to a bad experience that has happen to them.
       another good narrative that i can write about is the struggle of learning a new language. First coming to the U.S i could only speak spanish and hard a struggle learning english fluently. This is a good narritive because a lot of people have struggles trying to learn a new language and can relate to this topic. this topic can provide descriptive ideas on my struggles, but also on how i found ways to coped with them.
         another narrative writing i can write about is moving to a new country and acdapting to the culture and the different ways they do things. for example when i first moved here i had to adapt to the different type of education they had here in the US and also adapt to their culture here. i think this is a good narritive because i can tell detail by detail my struggles to adapt. its a experience i can tell and maybe people can relate.

Why I am taking english 101

There are many reasons why i am taking the 101 writing class. The first reason is because it is a require class that i need to take that been said i also want to improve my writing since i know my writing isn't the best out there, and there is always room for improvement. I constantly make spelling errors and sometimes have a hard time writing my ideas on paper the way i want to express them. I believe that writing 101 is a require class because wherever one ends up getting a job you must always have have some basic require  writing skills that will help you succeed. I am also taking writing 101 because writing is a way to express yourself and i have always felt that i haven't always done that. After i am done with this class i hope to be able to write well enough for people to be able to understand what i am trying to say. In a way i also believe that this writing class will help me with my speaking skills. i might be able to communicate better with other people. As a student with an undecided major this writing class my provide me with some kind of a idea on what i might want to do. for example if my writing improves and i know that i enjoy writing, i might chose a major that involves a lot of writing. By the end of this class i hope to improve my spelling, my sentence structures, and the way i arrange my ideas. I also hope to make writing a skill i have master like riding a bike and not finding it so difficult.
