Summary & Analysis Reflection

The current paper on the Summary and Analysis helped me learn quite a lot about how I used to write argumentative essays. When I first began writing arguments, I would write strictly based on a specific format. This format included an introductions, arguments, a counterargument, and a conclusion. However, with this paper, there is no specific template. Instead, it includes summarizing, discussing whether you agree with the author, and analyzing the author's thoughts. This essay is different from traditional argumentative essays. With the current essay, I am able to think deeper and analyze the writing by bits whereas before, I would choose a few quotes from the entire reading and just focus on those. The summary and analysis paper encourages me to think outside the box and be more specific. I feel that it really has improved my writing skills for argumentative essays.
