The most recent experience with critical analysis was a paper I wrote not too long ago for a public speaking class. I am comfortable writing essays about literature, however, I am not the best at writing. My favorite creative text I've read so far was a book of poems by Rupi Kaur called "the sun and her flowers".

1. My most recent experience with critical analysis, critical thinking was for work in reading on how to navigate, and work on certain golf cart models. I was reading on how to service vehicles from golf course manufacturers like TORO and John Deer.

2. My comfort level with writing essays and literature is fine, I much prefer typing my essays late at night when it's really quiet. I tend to work on my essay and writing pieces overtime if I'm interested, but I dabble in being a procrastinator all depending on the source material.

3. I much prefer video formatting when multitasking at home but I've also been reading bits and pieces on how to start 3D modeling and 3D printing.

4. I don't particularly have a creative text, but if I got into it judging by my likeness to anime like JJK it would be anything visual novel or manga like.


Wow, I also prefer writing late at night as well. It's like a different vibe when it's all dark and cozy. Pretty cool that you like JJK. It's an awesome anime. The action and the story is wonderful. For anyone who hasn't watched or read it yet, I highly recommend that you do.

My comfort level in writing literature essays is subpar. I hope that this can improve throughout the semester through learning and practice.
My most recent read was "Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill.
My favorite creative text is 'Champagne Poetry' by Drake. I really like to analyze the lyrics in the songs I listen to.

My most recent experience with critical analysis and critical thinking comes from my sociology and psychology courses. They both require me to examine theories, compare perspectives, and apply them to real-world situations. I've had to evaluate arguments, identify biases, and support my own ideas with evidence, which has strengthened my ability to think critically beyond just my academics.

Since this is an intensive writing course, I would say my level of comfort with writing essays about literature is slightly moderate. I sometimes enjoy writing and analyzing texts, but I sometimes struggle with organizing my thoughts clearly and making sure my thesis is strong throughout the essay. I am looking forward to improving my writing skills in this class.

Currently, I am reading Mommy Burnout out by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler. It has helped show me the challenges we mothers face with stress, identity, and balance, while also offering strategies for coping.

As for a favorite creative text, I haven't read any fiction or poetry right now, but hope to make a change and get into some. Word count: 198

Since I work full time as a Business Banker, I pretty much need to utilize critical analysis and critical thinking each day. Handling clients' bank accounts does require loads of thinking. I feel I did well in my first college writing class so I won’t have such a difficult time this semester. I am currently reading Carrie by Stephen King. I enjoy reading mystery and horror novels.

Critical thinking is always present in my life because I work with people and constantly need to resolve situations by looking at them from both sides.

I feel confident and comfortable enough with writing essays about literature

Right now, I’m reading a memoir about a woman who escaped from North Korea, “In Order to Live”

My favorite type of creative text is memoirs, because they feel real, unmade-up, and very motivating.

My most recent encounter with critical analysis and critical thinking came when I was last in my English class, where I read themes and symbolism in short stories. I enjoy the process of deconstructing what has been written and viewing what the underlying message is in the choices that the author makes. As this is an intensive course in composition, I feel pretty certain of writing literature essays, although I know there's always room for improvement. Currently, I am also reading Broke Millennial by Erin Lowry for a different course, and it has helped to think about actual money issues. My favorite creative piece is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, as of the rich symbolism and handling of the American Dream.
