Self Assessment

I have spent the last four to five months understanding how to write and communicate properly. Composition is very important in allowing to convey ideas, feeling, emotions, opinions, views, arguments, and many other forms of communication. Language is the fundamental means of expression and communication in daily life, and speaking, writing, and reading are essential parts of that process. We can better understand ourselves and the reasons behind our behaviors by researching how language is used by individuals. Speaking, writing and reading are integral to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication.  In my Composition of History and Culture course, I learned how to effectively use key rhetorical concepts through analyzing and composing a variety of texts. One of the assignments that I was effective in doing this was my personal narrative. Talking about Physcological thrillers, my experience in screenwriitng and ones curiosity on how the writing is what makes a film good and its affect on the audience? What’s unique and universal about the language used in these films is what mattered most to me. Anyone could make a film however, will it be successful? What is a successful film? A cultural, social, and psychological phenomena is linguistics. Linguists are interested in learning which words and phrases may have an unintentional impact on how we and others see the world. Despite the fact that it took me some time to fully grasp how the rhetorical situations interacted to produce a seamless flow of information presented, by the conclusion of the semester, I had a firm grasp on how each rhetorical circumstance functions as a building brick to complete communication. I can do well is summarize, paraphrase, analyze, and synthesize information from a variety of sources in my writing. The values of writing is the literal structure of everything we do in life from speech- in this case communication, for example- to interpretation. Time and practice will refine my knowledge of each and I look forward to how these elements will improve my writing.
