     Essays can be distinguish by the way it is written or structured. In other words essays should follow a certain structure depending what the topic is about. What distinguish an A essay from a C essay is the way it is written. In other words a well written essay describes the main ideas in order. Therefore, it is easy for the reader to know what is the meaning of the essay. For example, in a compare and contrast essay one cannot have a paragraph where it goes from one comparison to a contrast about the particular topic. By doing this makes the reader not be able to distinguish the difference between the two things being compared.
     Another thing that makes an A paper better is the details used. It is important to use details to make create a more vivid image of the topic writing about. By using details it makes the reader get a better understanding and be able to picture what the essay is about. For instance, if an essay describes a certain person tone, details help the reader get a better picture of that person and their attitude. An essay that lack of details is not good because without details the writer is not able to prove their point. This makes the reader get confuse about the purpose of the essay.
      Lastly, what distinguish a A essay from a C essay it the type of grammar and punctuation. A C essay has constantly grammatical error. These can be words that are difficult to write or understand. These type of essay also have many run-on sentences or coma-splices. Since the writer just start writing he/she may no pay attention to these mistakes. Rather an A essay is well-written with minor grammar mistakes. The sentence structure is used correctly. Overall, an A written essay has everything need to prove someones point or convey a meaning. Whereas a C essays includes these things but lacks of information.
       The one that is hardest for me is using details in my essays. I find it hard to explain in a depth the meaning I am trying to convey. I also find it hard to used different details because I constantly repeat the same words. I feel that in my essays I don't use enough details to prove my point or explain my topic. I think that I can use more details to take my essays one step further and explain in depth.

NEIU Writing I: Assignment #2- Generating Ideas

For my first graded essay I would like to write about the time I took AP English in high school. This class became significant to me because I had the opportunity to write different types of essays. Not only did I had to write essay but I also had to analyse different types of text. While being enrolled in this class made it a challenge for me because while analysing a certain text I didn't understand the meaning of it. This made it difficult for me because I was not able to write an essay that explained in details what the text was about.
This is a good narrative to write about because I can demonstrate how I overcame the my challenges and improve my writing skills. A con for this essay would be that there are many essays that I can talk about.
Another topic I can discuss when in Elementary school I had to make the transition from Spanish to English. During my first years of school I was in bilingual class. When I entered 3rd grade I had to read and write in English. This transition that I had to make made it difficult for me to know what language I preferred.
This is a good topic to discuss about because I can illustrate the difference between these two languages. A con would be that I would not remember in vivid details since this happen at and early age.
A topic I can talk about is the a speech that I analysed and wrote and essay about it. This essay was significant to me because after rewriting it I earn a good grade.
Writing about this topic is good because it shows that as a writer I can feel proud of something I wrote on my own. But then I would not be able to write about how I came to write the well written essay.

It is important for me to take this class so I can learn how to explain things in more detailed way. I feel that when I write I don't give a clear thought about my ideas. Therefore, I would like to take my writing one step further by explaining in a more detailed way. One thing that I would like to learn out of this class is to write better compare and contrast essays. These have always been the hardest essays that I have to write because it is diffiuclt to write and explain the similarities of two things. I always jump from one idea to another and don't follow a certain order. Overall, writing is important for me because it is something I practice everyday. This class will help me expand my knowledge in more grammar but also become a better writer.
