Comparing my reading skills and writing skills of second quarter to that of first quarter, I can proudly say that I have made a significant improvement which I hope to even better this coming quarter.
My main reading weakness this quarter was my lack of interest in some books, which I was able to overcome by the very end of the quarter. I’ve now learnt to appreciate every book I read and also try to make out what every book is really trying to send across. My reading goal for this quarter is to read even more books than I’ve read before. My passion for reading has really heightened this quarter and I plan to keep the pace up. Both of the books we read this quarter were not only exciting but touching. Othello talks about how a man, bound by the invisible chains of racial inferiority complex falls from extremely great heights as a general of his country to the point of murderer his wife and committing suicide. Tartuffe, on the hand, which I consider my favorite book for this quarter, talks about how a canny man, disguised as a holy person manages to manipulate a very rich man to give him his daughters hand in marriage and also pass on his entire wealth to him. What makes the story really interesting is the humor, and the constant rhyming of the ending words embedded into it by Moliere.
My writing skills have really improved this second quarter. I started off having minor problems, all of which I now don’t suffer from any more. With the introduction of pre-writing and outlining, writing which was very difficult to even start at first is now at my finger tips. One major thing about writing I learnt this quarter was, about the rampant use of dead words by students. I never really considered it till I was fully convinced that I am one of those students. Therefore my writing goal for this coming quarter is to focus on bettering my writing skills and avoiding the abuse of dead words. My writing strength is my ability to come up with evidences for my work and this mainly due to my strategic reading ability of capturing every detail of what I read in class.
Second quarter came with its nooks and cranny’s, but overall I put my very best of efforts in it and I hope to do very. I’ve decided to also focus on the coming quarter and how I am going to work, in order to pass it.
