Cover Letter
Herein is a recording of my progress in the works presented during the course of the year. I do so in order to create a written record of the experience that I have garnered and to state what the year has been like. In truth, the first papers I wrote, in hindsight, were badly researched paper with vague references to books that I had happened to come across. They lacked concrete ideas and were vague and touched only on the surface of topics I was given.
The first paper I wrote was titled Reality. I consulted the book Real boys by William Pollack in the writing of this first essay and wrote of how gender roles are defined based on parenting styles. I now realize that this title was not indicative of what the body stated, in addition to other mistakes along the way. I do not think that at that stage with the limited experience I had, I could fully grasp the message the author was trying to put across. However, now, having read much more literature I have a better understanding of the significance of what he was trying to convey.
The second essay I presented was titled Students Life that was a window into campus life. In addition to having more content, which perhaps in itself is an indication of growth, the essay had a more mature outlook. I attempted to connect it to the experiences I had been through by making observations and comments on real life situations, and in truth, this was suited to my style, as I happen to be more comfortable with creative writing than on the reporting of facts. I tried to draw the reader into a world I viewed as a fly-on-the-wall, observing but not interacting with the subjects of my essay to which the end-result of this was quite pleasing to me, but only if I compared it to the first paper submitted. Overall, I felt that it was still lacking in some aspect I could not yet grasp, and it later it dawned on me that the aspect I felt was missing was the research aspect. I had simply written from experience without consultation or reference to other essays or writing styles on the same topic. The only solution to this seems to identify authors whose specific style would assist in a better-rounded essay. Such shallow sentences were for instance, “People, especially students in their teens have boiling, bad blood for analysis.”
Drinking Age, which sought to address, as the title suggests, the drinking age in the country was an essay I had previously done. It was less creative than the first two had been and a more analytical creation. The heading was less vague than the other two had been and, in addition to research and statistics from the books and periodicals I had read, it contained information gathered from people I had personally interviewed. It was less about my personal perspective, and more on the pros and cons of the research question posed. In this, I felt that I captured all aspects of the given assignment and the conclusion though written from my own opinion was an extrapolation of the research conducted and the inferences made during my year out in the field.
The year spent in this class has been quite enlightening. At the beginning, looking at the various aspects I had planned to accomplish and all the different aspects that had to be accounted for and taken into consideration, its still surprising that I have come this far. Although at heart I will always be a creative writer, it still feels good to know that I can put on my best in other styles of writing.
