Over the course of this writing 110 class I have completed lots of reading responses and they have gradually gotten better over the semester. Either from more lengthy responses or more quality writing within my responses I have made improvements to my reading responses. Take my reading responses to “The Hawk” reading, I would just simply answer the question or briefly restate it and get into my immediate response.

“The Hawk” reading response questions

While some of my responses are lengthy a lot of the wording is just fluff, or rather pointless wording to add length to my response. I do restate the question that’s being asked in some of my responses with “The Hawk” reading but a lot of the structure is unnecessary. Compared to a reading response like Ross Gay’s “The First Incitement” reading responses the structure of my answers is more detailed.

Ross Gay’s “The First Incitement” reading response

My responses in Ross Gay’s reading were more structurally sound. There isn’t a lot of unnecessary wording and I answer the question effectively while going into detail when I need to. Overall the structure and when and where I added necessary details are the main improvements to my reading responses over the semester.
