Here are a few suggestions for improving your writing skills based on your reflection:
- When analyzing stories, look for universal themes or aspects of human nature you can relate to, even if the plot/characters are not directly relatable. Focusing on broader meanings can make any story more engaging to analyze.
- Vary your writing style. Try making some parts more descriptive or using a storytelling approach to engage the reader. Variety makes analyses more interesting to read.
- Reread assignments with a critical eye to catch minor errors. Proofread carefully before submitting work.
- Consider talking to your professor during office hours if you're struggling with specific assignments. They may offer insights to help or suggest additional resources.
