As i was reading chapters 3 and 4 a couple comments and questions crossed my mind. I think the section titled "essay structure" really helped me build on my writing. At first i did not understand the "Transition Chart" but after studying it and looking over it i finally realized what it was talking about. The part in chapter 4 that i learned most about was the difference of paraphrase and summery. Growing up i usually though that those two were the same thing but in the book paraphrase is "restating ideas in a reading in your own words, and summary is "giving the main points of a reading in your own words".

When i think about reading and writing, i honestly do not get scared at all. I am fine about writing because its a time where i can just express everything i feel onto a piece of paper and i don't mind that at all! I actually enjoy writing about interesting subjects and prompts. The only thing that i don't like too much about writing is that sometimes it can be very time consuming and sometimes its just hard to sit down for an hour and write a paper. But all in all i enjoy writing and expressing myself through a pen and paper.
