Writing Improvement?

Writing over the semester has not been easy for me.  I despise writing papers, however, being in this class has made it a bit easier.   Mrs. Vance has made it easier for me to write about a paper.  The most challenging of all papers for me would have to be the last essay on the different themes in the story.  It was hard not to summarize a specific message the author wrote about instead of trying to produce a theme.  I have noticed that it is easier for me to write about a given subject than when I first started the class.  In all honesty, I did not feel that my writing at the beginning of the class was that bad and with the end of this class coming to an end I believe that I have improved my writing skills, even though I am not too fond of writing,  I am just really glad that, at least for now, I am done writing any more essays!
