Reflection |
My first reaction to the assignment was not too enthusiastic. I did not know much about the topic of emotional support animals and, to be honest, I didn't really care. One important learning characteristic about me is that I write my best work when I am really invested and passionate about the topic, so I knew I had to try extra hard to make my work something I would be proud of. The subject turned out to be more interesting than I thought when I started to look further into the sources given. I learned that emotional support animals were different than service animals.
One thing I am proud of for this piece of work is my counterclaim. I had never really written a counterclaim before, so adding one was something I wasn't really sure of why it was even necessary. However, I learned that it makes an argument a lot stronger to recognize an opposite point of view. One thing I wish I could have done differently is fix my conclusion paragraph. It is short and doesn't really show my ability to use advanced and formal diction. There isn't much summarizing of the rest of my essay in the conclusion and I wish I could go back now, knowing a better way to write it. |
