Intro to MWA 3, Anxiety

Intro to Major Writing Assignment 3. I wrote this paper between February 25-March 5. In that time I probably put nearly 40 hours into writing it. It is about a three and a half page essay, so that means I put an average of 10 hours into each page I wrote. I guess that was probably a “little” more than the teacher expected. The paper is on anxiety, why it’s not good for you, how it came about, why we ought to avoid it and how to face up to it when it happens. This paper, being my final paper in the class put to the test all the skills I learned. First and foremost it practiced making sure each sentence was complete without comma splices or run-ons. It challenged me to write in second person, no “you’s”, “We’s” “Me’s” “Yourself’s” and things of the sort. Also in writing this paper, I focused on a formal writing style that made the paper appear professional. In other words, it removed any slang or wording that a person would write in a letter to a friend and focused on a writing a person would expect to see in a business letter.
This MWA was written for the purpose to persuade the reader.
