How are your reflection papers coming? What do you want your classmates to look at?

Until now I have confusion with the reflection paper. The things that I did not understand was, should I choose a paper to write the reflection paper or should I just mix the whole papers that I wrote for this class? Besides, I was not sure if my paper should be based on the class discussion and reading and relate to the paper I chose. Last thing is should I just use the first paper I wrote and compare to the papers that I wrote for this class. Another choice was should I compare with the papers that I wrote during high school year which definitely shows the improvement of my writing.
These are the problems that I am facing for the reflection papers.

I want my classmates to check the sentence organization and I want my classmates to check the sentence structures. It would be better if they check my grammar and repeated sentences or words however, the most important things that i want is, the organization of my paper.

Overall if I am able to solve this questions for my reflection paper then I might able to have better reflection paper. Besides, if my classmates checks the sentence organization and repeated sentences or words that it would create better paper for me.

Toward a New Consciousness

From reading the 'Toward a New Consciousness', I was able realize it talks about discrimination and racism in our world. The article, itself relates to different cultures such as Mexicans and Indians. Moreover the article discuss about the humiliation that Indians or other peoples had to suffer from Whites. Based on the reading, it seems that the whites are portrayed as a superior and powerful, however, other people than Whites seems to depicted as weaker than them. Since this article seems to look back to her experiences and emotional feelings, this article is definitely relate to reflection. Besides, this reading strongly reflect to different cultures experiences and feelings. Consequently, these are the reasons that this article is assigned for our reading assignment.

Looking back at the blogs that I have written, I was able to realize that some sentences was not well organized or run out. Due to time consumption, it seems that I was not able to have time to reorganize and edit the paragraphs or delete the repeated sentences. Now from looking back at the previous writings, I am able to realize that I need to try to proof read and make sure if the sentences or paragraphs are well organized.

Overall the reading, Toward a New Consciousness is a well written paper which reflect to the author's experiences and other peoples' experiences. Besides it seems that my previous writings needs some proof read for better sentence structure and organization.

What is reflection?

From my point of view, the definition of reflection is 'looking back.' People usually writie reflection paper after reading different articles, poems, or videos. Bascially, reflection is looking back the things that you experienced in your life and write your emotion or feelings from your reading or experience.

Once I had to watch a '9/11' documentary on September 11th. After watching the documentary, he assigned us to write a reflection paper. Although I did not know how to start the reflection paper, later I realized that the reflection paper needs a few description of the documentary with my emotion. From writing the reflction paper, I was able to understand how I felt from watching the documentary.Bascially when you reflect your thoughts and emotions is a way to write the reflection paper.

Overall, reflection is looking back at your thoughts and experiences and write your emotion and feeling. From my point of view, writing a relfection paper can help people to organize their thoughts and feeling toward things that they read or experienced.
