The course theme has been “Culture, Identity, and Film” that make me to understand in better way about different cultures on how the lived. The “Smoke Signal” a part of movie is talking about in how the person stick with his tration and culture even though he is far away from his home country. The individual reading embody the course theme is the story of “What you Pawn I will Redeem” because it talked about a person have a lot mysteries on his life that make the story more interesting for the reader to know more detail and information about the story. The individual film embody the course theme is the “Smoke Signal” the reason why I chosen this film because I liked the theme of movie and actors were so entertaining even though it is drama movie, but they had make it fun to watch. In summer course I found in the beginning that going to be hard to improve my writing in short of time, but with professor made the summer goes easy than I thought. I improve my writing by practicing almost daily on my grammar spot where I have a lot of errors need to cover in short of time, but thanks to language log that helped a lot to know my grammar errors by understanding it carefully. I have learned in this course on how to write an research paper. In the beginning I know it was difficult while only seeing the paper, but with the days where I started to get articles to analysis my research became more simply to write. I have learned about myself that nothing is impossible to accomplish what I have done in english course. The cooking experiment that make me feel more comfortable because I have to write about a thing which changed my life and let my to trust myself. The least comfortable was film analysis were I have to watch whole movie to write only the main idea of film to analysis. My writing strengths is to write the thesis in creative and organized form. My weakness in grammar where I have to read the sentence more than it usually to catch my error spot. I will try do my best to improve the grammar weakness skill to make my writing understandable and easy for the audience to read. The changes that I have made in my portfolio is to fix my grammar errors which they are to many of them and to add vocabulary words to reduce wordiness.
