The two most influential and arguably most important papers I have written in my career as a student so far would the eleventh grade interdisciplinary research paper and my personal college essay. Both are incredibly different at their essence; however they do share meager similarities. The predominant similarity in both of these exalted works was that I needed to provide endless examples and evidence of claims that I made in order prove a point to my reader/audience. I recall being told that both of these works were interesting and engaging, however they were pervaded with many arbitrary claims and not enough support. This was a recurring theme in both pieces, however they were augmented to the point they were solidified claims. Since these papers; from the core, are so different from each other, it would be easier to explain the disparity between them. Since one is an “interdisciplinary paper” which is based upon factual occurrences and historical events while the other is more of a personal anecdote with emotions and feelings, the primary contrast between the two would be the tone in which they are written. The research paper was about World War 1, so it was very informative yet apathetic. It had no excitement or reaction; it was just a factual paper used to educate readers. The college essay however, was an otherworldly experience, feelings and thoughts that a person cannot really explain but only experience firsthand.
An event I’m actually looking forward to writing about would be a concert I must attend for my music class. I’ve only been to one previously and I really enjoyed it. My audience would be my music professor, Mr. Menillo. The context would be a musical analysis on what I hear during the concert. My message and/or purpose would be how the composition of many different instruments from completely different families all contribute and make one harmonious and melodic noise. The document that will be used will be whatever I hear that night. Personally, I don’t see a major difference between the writing that will be done after the concert in comparison to the writing we do in this class. Primarily in this English class we do a lot of analyzing and critical thinking about essays and pieces of literature. The same will be done in music (various instruments.) However some can say the real difference between the two is that the concert is aural while the writing in this class is not.
