Sanstrom – Paper 1 – Final Draft
Sanstrom – Paper 2 – Final Draft
At the beginning of the semester I struggled majorly with complexity in sentence structure, yet I believe I have majorly improved. For example in my first essay, I stated “Despite their works similarity, the authors views on how one may be included are drastically different.” This is a relatively simple two part statement that shows contrast. Meanwhile in my second paper, my significant writing piece, I show growth, I establish sentences with several parts. For example, “She believes that in science everything builds upon one another due to gained knowledge, that no one has a truly original idea but instead they’re all indirectly related.” This sentence has three parts, that isn’t comparing but instead building on one another. With this said I have always and still struggle with run on sentences and fragments. Throughout this course I have attempted to put this to an end by editing everything before I turn it in. I have found out that reading out-loud helps the editing process, especially with picking out run ons and fragments due to them being awkward in the flow. I will continue this practice in the future for it proving to be beneficial.
