Journal 4

What have you accomplished? What do you still want to improve?
So far this semester, I feel like I have accomplished a lot. Through the first inquiry I have learned more about how to do a close reading and truly how to analyze a novel. Before completing that assignment I mostly knew how to summarize a text without looking deeper into the meaning behind the novel. As I continue writing my inquiry 2 I am learning how a culture and a time period shape a text and how knowing the background of a piece of work can help a reader to understand the meaning behind it. However I still have a few things I want to improve on. One important thing is my workshopping skills. I have the most trouble fixing my first drafts. I feel like once I write a paper I can't find a better way to follow the prompt or rewrite my essay.
