SLC Humanities

The assignment was to reflect on an assignment in humanities. I will talk about my strengths and weaknesses and the process we went through to complete the assignment. I will also highlight my general strength and weakness in humanities in general.

I choose my Into Thin Air Essay as I thought this was my best piece of writing. To create this project I had to do research for my small essay. A requirement of this essay was to include multiple quotes from Jon Krackauer’s book Into Thin Air and websites or blogpost from the internet. I went to multiple websites to gather information and inspiration for my writing. In class we went over essay creation and how to use quotes in writing and I felt I was successful at recreating what we learned. The strength of my writing skills are my ideas and deep thinking to create an engaging topic and supporting ideas. I capitalized on that strength as you can see in my intro paragraph”The dangers and challenges of mountain climbing only escalate the sense of accomplishment and fulfilment when the task is complete. With these challenges also presents great opportunity to explore and discover the high altitudes. People climb mountains for self fulfilment, exploration, research and because they can.”. I felt like my weakness of my grammar and spelling were nullified in this project by multiple revisions of my writing and the use of an IPad.
