Introductory Essay

September 3, 2018

As a writer, I am explanatory yet concise. Writing in general from stories to informational essays or arguments takes a lot of comprehension and consideration. I am a writer who needs to brainstorm and have my thoughts gathered in order to write a well written piece. To me, organization is key into having an exceptional paper. Writing is an imperative part of being a student. It lets you have your thoughts get written down in physical form so that you can look back on information you might forget. Not every person is great at writing. It is extremely difficult for a writer to influence a reader for example in an argumentative essay.

Numerous writers have both strengths and weaknesses. Some strengths I acquire are organization, word selection, and creativity. A paper must have organization and stick to a theme/topic. Information that is told multiple times throughout a paper puts the reader in confusion. My selection in words are considerable for it affects the mood/tone of the paper. It shows how the writer feels and what they’re trying to put out. It created a description of imagery on the audience. Creativity is a massive aspect in writing. Nobody wants to read a piece that is basic and have been read before. The reader wants a piece that is unique and well thought out. It may take substantial brainstorming to produce a piece but in the end it’ll be worth the effort. Therefore, for me creativity will benefit a paper tremendously just for being distinct, something the reader may not have thought before or surprising the reader and putting the reader in a great deal of thoughts. Every great writer have weaknesses. Some of mine are hooks, having short sentences and repeating details. It is challenging to come up with a great hook to grab the reader’s attention. It requires various thoughts and persuasive aspects to a hook a reader. Sometimes my sentences are short and concise which is unnecessary. Lastly, I repeat information to restate sentences so that the reader can understand what I’m trying to say.

This semester I want to accomplish in improving my weaknesses as well as creativity. I want to try to use my knowledge on my writing pieces. I tend to get distracted easily as well so I definitely want to have more focus in getting my work done. I also want to learn more on the topic of homeland security. So far it seems very interesting but I know I have so much more to learn about. Security in general is critical in making a society function therefore I’d like to learn the different ways people secure the lives and homes of one another. Finally, I would like to improve my vocabulary in reading, writing and speaking.
