This was one of my best pieces of writing for this class, in my opinion. I wrote about my experience of getting robbed and the whole ordeal. I think this was my best piece of writing for the class because I wrote from my own personal experiance instead of something I didn't really care about. I also think I cared so much about writing this paper because it was an intense memory for me and I wanted to do well at explaining it. I also have a hard time talking about it with people, so I used writing about it to truly express my feelings about all of it.

I had a lot of fun writing this paper. I've never really done any kind of writing like this before and I was pretty passionate about it. I think I liked it so much because I felt like I was able to get my true feelings out. I wrote to my past teachers at my high school and how they really aren't preparing their students for college. I compared and contrasted what they were doing and telling us to get ready for college with what I've come to realize what students really need to know for college. I think I also had a lot of fun with it because I used an angry tone, which I think made this paper have more power and meaning.

I found this paper to be really frustrating. I didn't see the point of working in groups for it. I did though while writing this learn a lot. I was able to look at differing views on the topic of prostitution. I used to be like most people and thought that prostitution is wrong, immoral, disgusting, and just for slutty women that didn't care about themselves, but after researching it i saw many different pros for it and realized it isn't what people stereotype it to be. The main problem I had with this paper was referencing things in my writing. I did use examples and facts I learned while researching, but I didn't directly say where I got which piece of information from. I honestly thought that listing facts and examples in my writing and then citing the sources at the end was the correct way to do this type of paper but then learned it wasn't.

I think I'm the one and only person in our entire class that did not like this assignment. I found it to be really confusing and messy looking. It didn't feel like an actual writing assignment, it felt like a collage of different genres of writing. I have a hard time looking at the different pieces and connecting them together and seeing the main purpose of it all. I don't really think that I did good at this assignment, but it was an interesting learning experience.
