I know that writing is used as a form of expression and a way to reflect. In previous English classes that I took, we learned that almost all writing pieces express what the author has gone through or what they were feeling in that exact moment. For example, Edgar Allen Poe was a writer that wrote with a Gothic style and always had the reoccurring theme of death because of the way his life was going at the time. I come from a school that was very heavy on regents test practice so a majority of my writing is structural and to the point. We had to write many argument essays and document-based writing. I find that to be one of my weaknesses in my ability of writing because I end up getting insecure about my writing thinking that it does not flow and that it’s choppy. I hope that I learn how to write more poetic and be able to be free-flowing with what I write.
