when will my reflection show who i am inside

The "tandemization" of Lives and Times and 2D Design has proven to be effective. I have enjoyed connecting Literature with Art and learned a lot from it. Although the papers have been rough and the projects sometimes draining, I really have benefited from the combination of these two classes. The main thing that I take away from the class is this: Art can be read, and Literature can be viewed. The two cross over into each others' respective categories and work together.


1. At the beginning of the course, you mentioned two or three aspects of your writing that you most wanted to work on. How well have you met your goal of improving in those areas?

I would say that I haven't really met my goal of perfecting my sentence structure or raising the level of my vocabulary in a paper. But where can you really stop improving? Everything can always get a little better. I have, however, found a more effective way of organizing my thoughts so that readers can better understand the point I am trying to get across. Although my writing is not at all what one would define as perfect I feel more comfortable writing than I did at the beginning of the semester.

2. At this point, what would you say are your strengths as a writer?

Throughout the semester I have found that I have several good ideas. Although at times I do not communicate these well I feel that I am a very creative individual that can, when using the proper mechanics, write an interesting paper.

3. What do you need to improve in your writing in the future?

In the future, I need to better organize these 'good ideas' I have mentioned above in question 2.

  1. 1. love the title.
    2. I can totally sympathize with you when you say you cannot clearly communicate your ideas.
    I do this all the time, and I end up saying what I don't mean while I am in search of the right wording...
    however, I have heard you speak in both drawing and l&t, and I have also read your writing, and I think that you really aren't giving yourself enough credit [or at least if you really aren't saying all that you mean, wow. because what you do say sounds impressive, as is]
    3. please have your leaf drawing posted in moreau :]
