My Life As A Writer
Through out our school career, we've been asked by many and all sorts of teachers to write stories, essays, research papers, book reports, and many many other writing assignments. I must say I have always hated writing in all sorts of ways. They took to long to do or they were given out in great lengths that I myself didn't want to do. They were boring assignments, and I didn't want to waste my time on doing them. Now obviously I did them, because I probably wouldn't be here right now if I didn't. In my way of thinking about it, I think it was pointless to give out research papers, book reports, or essays needed to be 8 or more pages. Why and try to have us right about something that you(the teacher) already know so much about. I also understand that you assign these assignments to see what we have learned or to see if we were paying attention, but if we are able to give you all of the information that you want us to show you and need for the assignment, then I don't see the need or purpose to write a paper for so long. I have thought like that since 8th grade, but I have changed in some ways about writing. It was in 10th grade english and my teacher had assigned an essay about "The Great Gasby". It was suppose to be three to five pages. The only different from this essay and all the others was that it was an opinion based essay. Four days later when the essay was due, in class my teacher had asked me "If I knew how many pages were suppose to be written?" and I said " yeah, I had a lot to say about what I thought about Mr. Gasby. " I ended up writing 8 pure pages about what I thought about Mr. Gasby, no re-saying or repeating anything nor did I hate it, I actually enjoyed writing it. Ever since then I loved writing any writing assignment that was based on my opinion, I feel these essays or any writing assignment are better than any other. I feel these essays are better to show teachers if their students are paying attention or
