                                               Final assignment

     

        In my first semester of college, the English 101 class I took with Professor Alexander learning a lot about writing and how much techniques there are to writing. The way someone can express themselves, their moods, feelings, actions all in one paper. The different ways each author has their own sense of writing or using different techniques to write their writings have really open my eyes to see how writing is a way to express yourself and your feelings .

        The different types of assignments I was assigned to do have taught me different ways of the English writing. The yellow wallpaper assignment that was assigned to me had many techniques to it, the way it had many expressions as well. Learning how to “unpack a quotation”, which is something have never done through my high school years, it was interesting how you take a quote and have to explain it and basically explain a certain topic or idea you believe the quotation has or expresses, that basically explains the story or how important that specific passage is throughout the entire story.  The writing technique “unpacking a quote” showed how an author, by taking single quote, they can write a whole writing about it as their own personal idea , opinion upon it.

          In the Yellow wallpaper, the narrator of the story expresses herself in the story to the fullest. In the passage the narrator writes basically about an overly obsession she is about a wallpaper in a specific room in her and her husband’s rental summer home they had. The way the narrator wrote to set the mood for the reader throughout the entire reading was very interesting to me. It taught me how writing can express a certain person feelings and how it can kind of be like a diary and when you look at it at that way, it can open up your mind. The you can’t express yourself as in life, you most defiantly can on a piece of paper .

         In descriptive writing, there many ways to express yourself or to express certain thing, you can go into details about. By going into details within the story that can actually give the reader the vision of what they are reading, the way the author or narrator describes it. The way a single thing or action can be stretched out to be described and how even the littlest thing can be expressed to be such a huge thing in a readers mind to in vision.

         In the story, “The yellow wallpaper “by Charlotte Perkins, the narrator of the story uses the technique of description a lot throughout the entire story. She writes about this yellow wallpaper in a certain room in her ancestral halls she had for the summer with her husband. In the passage she describes the walls as “ the worse paper she saw in her life “ and “ one of those sprawling flamboyant patterns committing every artistic sin “, as the reader I can in vision something really ugly looking . I can also in vision how much disgust she has towards the wallpaper as well. The writing technique of actually somewhat feeling the anger the narrator had and how I can imagine the narrator going crazy because of this wallpaper.

       Throughout this fall semester in my English 101 class, I’ve gotten to see the different types of writing techniques that were being used by different authors. It taught me a lot of about writing and how someone can express themselves about things and how powerful it can be, that even the reader can either imagine or feel the actions and scenes of the story. Learning different techniques of descriptive can defiantly help oneself become a better writer.
