• Qualities of effective paper: 

1. Creative thesis: This is something that states why are we writing this paper and who are we writing to and what are we trying to convey our audience. Creative thesis can help reader to figure out the meaning behind our paper easily.
2. Organization: Organizing your body paragraphs in proper order and categories will help you and audience to see in which category your paper falls in. For example, political, social, personal, etc. It also help audience to understand your paper with out getting confuse.
3. Peer review: it helps if someone peer reviews our paper so that we can see our topic from two different point of view. May be our audience has different point of you than us. So we need to make sure that we cover each part of our topic.

• Creating thesis is the easiest thing for me because I am really good at going to the straight point instead of confusing audience. In addition, I also explain my thesis with examples so that audience can understand my point of view.Organization is the hardest thing for me because you need powerful vocabulary and grammar which is hard for me; moreover, I am not a good describer . I like to go to the straight point so I can't not describe well as other writers. Hopefully I will improve my paper by adding more vocabulary words and good organization.

For the Literacy narrative, my first topic is I want to write about my grandfather's life. He is a social worker and he helped a lot of poor people by providing them money, food, education, etc. He is my super hero and I actually want to appreciate his work. I think he should become inspiration for rich people who are willing to sponsor this kind of kind activities. 

 

My second topic is about the hardships that I suffered through in my childhood with out my mother. Can you imagine a child growing up with out a mother?? My family took care of my a lot but no one can take care of a child as much as a mother does. When I was in the middle school, all of my friends were talking about how do they spend time with my mom and I was just sitting there and creating a picture of my mom. As time passed, I had a perfect picture of my mom who was my imagination. I really want to tell all the teens who ignore their mothers because of their friends and their coolness that how would their life would  be if they didn't have her.

The third topic is about what my my journey from ESL to AP classes. It's really hard for a 16 years old girl to learn a new language with her parents higher expectations. I was a really bright child when I was in India so when I came here my parents wanted me to achieve the same goals that I have been achieving from middle school. I actually suffered through a lot of difficulties and I used to study so hard that I actually lose my weight. But the end of my senior year in high school, I became an inspiration for all the ESL students who came from different countries. 

English used to be my favorite subject since I was middle school, even though English is my second language.


I am taking English 101 for three reasons. First reason is that, English is not my second language so that I wanted to take English classes to improve my skills. I came from India two years ago so I have this Indian accent that I want to change. My professor from last semester said that I can be a really good writer if I keep practicing my skills. Second reason is that, It's a required course at NEIU for freshmen. And finally the third reason is that, Every major or career needs so kind of perfection in writing skills. 

I also took Senior Composition in my senior year so I typed 15 to 20 page long paper which was the great experience for me. That's the class that encouraged me more about improving my writing skills. 


By the end of this class, I would like to improve my vocabulary skills because I have poor vocabulary skills and I also want to learn how to type a college level paper. I really want to work hard on the papers for this class so that I can do my best in all that papers that I will have to type in future. 


One of my best quote for writing is:


" We don't write because we have to say something, we write because we have something to "say"." 


This is my favorite quote from Senior Composition class that I will never forget.
