I want to thank my professor Dube for teaching me  how to properly write. In the beginning of the class we read stories decoding the strategies the author used , for example the author used specific details , time and tension in his story. We also learned another way of writing an hook to to engage the readers in our paper. I use to always start with writing a question but we could also start off with a story. I really like that way because it made is easier for me to writing a story I relate to than sitting there for minutes to come up with a life question. When we had our research lesson we were taught how to find a reliable source to use for our papers ( .com is not always true but .org is ) it was hard for me to find a source but it was all worth it having a truthful resource that paper was “Gender Differences In Playing Video Games”. For our critical analysis essay we read and interpret many three stories/ articles. The first article was about a man who has a problem with a Chipotle employee for not giving him the same amount of rice as he did for the customer in front of him. The author continues to show his frustration in hypothetical face to face situation. In a way he is making fun of the problem and people who can relate to this situation. Professor Dube introduced juxtaposition means the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect. Giving us a chance to express ourselves the same way Professor Dube allowed us to go up in front of the class and tell a time where we faced the same thing the author to Onion. The other story we read was about a young black female who goes to college at a place where she feels different than most of the people there and she ends up meeting a white lesbian female. Throughout the story she and the friend gets closer emotionally and physically. Due to her mother passing she had problems letting people in and she somehow ends up pushing away her friend. We got to choose between an article we read or a song , because of the article “Drink Coffee Somewhere Else” I decided to pick a meaningful song that tackled sexuality and acceptance presented in my “You Can Be However You Want”. Unfortunately I did not get the grade I thought I was going to get but I understood the reason why I got it and it was because I didn’t follow the format; which is another thing I learned how to do. I got a higher grade on my Personal essay because I took in everything I was taught from the beginning of the class until now this included an interesting hook story , tension between me and the person, time ( the time spend in each year I was in the relationship)  and I was very specific with my feelings during an event. I was emotionally unstable while writing “Should’ve Been” it was all worth it. I felt that I grew overtime because of all the critical feedback I received from my Professor , my grade shows my accomplishment. Thanks to the patience Processor Dube had along with his availability after class hours either in person or through email everyone found it easier overtime in the class to critique each other’s works either fixing or helping them improve their writing. I believe that collectively the class grew as a whole , we matured and grew a bond with each other.
