Core Competency Response

<<The Father>> and <<The Veldt>>

This assignment was my first time writing an essay. Though I had many troubles and confusions while I was writing and editing my essay, I eventually worked out some of these problems.

During this assignment, I mostly used creative and critical thinking to complete my essay. While I was brainstorming, I used creative thinking. I discussed with a few of my friends and asked their ideas like what kind of similarities and differences did they put in. This helped me to realize that I could observe the similarities and differences not just inside the stories but also how the author structured the stories.

When I was structuring the essay, I used critical thinking. I evaluated my materials to decide what is useful for me to use. After setting in the facts that I prepared to use, I would express my own opinion to add colors to my essay. Using the evidence to prove my points

I knew I didn’t do the best in this essay but I now have a better understanding of my own writing.  I realize that I intend to write too much and it was a bit difficult to find the central focus in my writing. This assignment had improved me in different ways.
