Reflection

            When writing the summary it was somewhat similar to the rest of the assignment we have done in the class like thought pieces and portrait of a writer. When writing a summary you shorten the readings into your own words but don’t actually add anything and/or make it your own paper. This compares to the thought piece because when we are writing a thought piece we summarize our thoughts and what happened in the reading so we have to go through a lot of the same processes for the two assignments. When I was writing my Portrait of a writer I found myself summarizing myself into a paper which was weird because I have never really had to do that before, sadly though I couldn’t think of much to write so I must be a pretty bland person, so we had to do some of the same steps as the other too yet again.

            When writing all of these papers I wish I had something to help my brainstorming, because in all three of these assignments I always came to a dead stop in my writing before I met the requirements and couldn’t think of anything else to add. I have never really had this problem when writing except for when the papers are about myself and/or deep thinking processes, I have never been good at that. I have been trying to let my mind be free so I can just let the words come out on their own. It would make everything so much easier on everybody if we could just do that. 

         So like I mentioned before all of these paper have a lot in common and all help us build a more structure writing experience so that in the future we are prepared for what is asked of us. Everything you will write had some summarizing in it some way or another and this summary came a lot easier to me.
