The transcendentalists that we learned about (Thoreau, Emerson) are very interesting guys. Their ideals are very interesting to me. At the same time I don't really agree with some of their view points. Such as Thoreau. I don't agree with his view of going to jail for not paying taxes to boycott the Mexican war. He believed that it was valuable and he was taking a stand to be in jail. I believe there are other ways to boycott the way other than not paying a legal thing that everyone pays. I wrote my letter about the cost of the ACT test and how the poverty stricken people in our country are at a disadvantage for college. This letter was a letter of complaint on a prevalent issue and we were to send it to someone in charge of our issue. I don't really believe that my letter will get a response. I am confronting a prevalent issue the ACT company has had with lots of people. The head CEO probably gets lots of letters with the same issue and I am wanting to make a change on this by sending this letter and hoping he takes it into consideration for the future.

I believe that my writing is progressing very well. I am using all of the CLEAR paragraph points when I write. The one thing I run into when I write is the analysis. I am really bad at it and can't really figure out how to do it. I know if I work at getting better at this tool, I can progress in my essay writing abilities. I feel really good about finding evidence and stating it, and lead ins and a claim. Those first 3 I can figure out and do well. Good writing is made by good structure, good evidence that supports the claim, interesting writing that isn't boring, good restatement of topic in the conclusion sentence. One can make their writing interesting by showing that they care about their topic and providing good evidence.
