Reflective Essay
In English 1302 or Composition 2, I learned a lot from the three major essays which were
Rhetorical Analysis, Causal Argument and Proposal Essays that I did for this class. I was able to
improve on my writing skills in different ways and was able to better understand the concept of
the casual argument essay being done during that time. The causal argument assignment took a
long time, but it was easy to write as the topic of the essay was about the use of technology in the
society which had one cause and many effects. The use of technology for the causal argument
essay taught me the most as I was able to understand the concept very well which helped me in
organizing the essay properly, having good research with evidence to back up the causes and
Firstly, I was able to understand the Causal Argument Essay better as it helped me to
organize my work in a good manner which was better than the Rhetorical Analysis Essay. From
the rhetorical analysis to the causal argument, I was able to get my focus and logic on point as
the concept of the causal argument was cause and effect. The thesis and topic sentences were

effect of the use of technology in the society in recent years. The thesis and topic sentences

my draft to the final copy, I had all my quotes in quotation marks. I used all quotes in correct
sentence and put all the in text-citation next to each of my quotes and paraphrased information in
the essay. I improved in my sentence structure as some of the quotes in my sentence did not
Thirdly, I was able to improve my sentence structure from draft to the final copy of the
casual argument. Some improvements that I made are “Digital Technology has evolved over the
years and people use the internet or apple music to stream their favorite music which are in
digital form.” I have become a better writer as the causal argument assignment helped me to
improve my grammar and sentence structure for my essay. Some of the sentence is the draft did
not make sense and was not in the correct tense and did not have commas and had missing
words. I was able to correct my sentences for mistakes and improved on my writing.
In conclusion, this causal argument essay has taught me a lot in how to organize my
paper, stay in topic, have good research from trustworthy websites and improve my sentence
structure skills. This essay has helped me be a better writer and has helped me prepare for many
other essays for other college classes. It has also taught me about where to find reliable
