Better Atul Gawande Analysis
A Writer’s Journey As a writer, I never doubted my abilities. I know about past flaws and I’m sure I’m still oblivious to the current one’s I’m making. One flaw that it visibly noticeable throughout my work in high school is with the use of transitions and how the work flows together. In ninth, English I and II, the works were choppy and lacked even the smallest transitions, but when looking at works from English IV (AP English) or from this class, they’ve greatly increased in usage and my writings have become increasingly smooth. In English I, the fall semester of Freshman year, I wrote a paper on the book Better by Atul Gawande, titled Three Ways to Succeed in Medicine. Even the starting paragraph lacks transitions:
Atul Gawande’s novel, Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance, shows ways to succeed in the medical profession. Three requirements add up to create the most efficient way to function as a health care professional. Once acquired, the medical field will become better than it is currently. The three ways listed, diligence, doing right, and ingenuity, help achieve success in the medical field (Fall 2014).
Not to mention that it is kind of repetitive, but the use of transitions is not harnessed very well at all. I could have added some more and made it sound like “Some ways Gawande shows how to become a better …show more content…
Anyway, I wrote a paper titled The Sins of Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth, which is exactly what it sounds like it would be about. This paper feels simpler than most, but I think it is because my thesis is the title. At the start of every paragraph, there is a transition, and within each parts of the paragraph, there are transitions where needed to aid with the clarity and flow. My favorite part of this paper
