Week 6: Writing

After the exercises we do in class I feel a lot better when I write a paper. I understand how to make a reader interested and write a good lead. I also know know why it is important to keep your readers attention so that they keep reading and don't just push your writing aside.

When I started to write my lead I did five different ones so that I could decide which one I liked better or which one's I could combine to get the best lead. The lead to me is the most important part other than the title. The title is what really gets the readers attention especially if people judge a book by its cover.

When I was writing my paper I tried to add personification, dialogue, drama, and a few other writing techniques. I tried to keep the writers attention through out the entire paper. I felt like it got really hard at times because I ran out of ideas or I couldn't think of how to word some of the personification. What really helped me was writing down some ideas and working through them.

This paper was a great idea and the things we did in class for the paper really helped me. I hope that my paper reflex what we learned and the reader never gets bored reading my paper.
