My most recent experience with critical analysis and critical thinking was at work. As a mechanic, I have to use problem-solving skills to diagnose issues that aren't a simple fix by just looking at the vehicle. I am not big on writing essays about literature, so my level is not as high as others. I am currently not reading anything. My favorite creative text is The Great Gatsby.

I have used critical thinking when working on a study plan whenever exams are coming up. I believe I am good when it comes to writing. Last English course I had I wrote a research paper on ancient Rome and really enjoyed writing it and was proud of my work.

My recent experience with critical thinking is Sociology I took last semester. It was extremely challenging. I was forced to overthink behind my knowledge to understand societally perspectives. It was necessary to thought process problems society faced as well as how to fix them

I found the Great Gatsby to be very interesting. It’s about a wealthy man who pursues a wealthy woman during the Jazz Age. It captures my attention based on the theme and setting it was based on. It’s intriguing and an attention drawer.

1. My most recent experience with critical analysis and thinking that I can recall is when I had to write my argument paper for College Writing I, and required me to analyze data, reports, among other pieces of evidence on social media bias and misconduct.
2. My comfort level on writing is moderately well. I have written many essays in the past and feel decently comfortable writing them, however am not always confident and fear that I might've made an error along the way, causing me to second guess myself during the writing process.
3. One book I am currently reading is the book "Night of The Living Dead An Analogy" by both George A. Romero and Jonathan Maberry
4. One of my favorite creative texts is the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, it's structure and twist still sticks with me after reading it during my senior year of high school.
