Short essay on connections

Education and the writing that is involved  has always been something I was aware of and forced to do but never really something I participated in for the heck of it. Throughout this course of English 1301 it is definitely something I have learned the importance of and grew to not despise it so much. Learning Unit 2 we were guided to write about a passage “A Community College Professor Reflects on First-Year Composition” by Pekins that talked about the lack of interest and knowledge of reading and writing nowadays. Not only did it mention the lack of reading and writing it talked about the importance of the two areas and suggested how to do so. In Learning Unit 3 we discussed our discourse community we have recently joined or soon to join. Through the research done when learning about our discourse community we learned that reading and writing are involved in all kinds of ways and set the tone of each group. These two learning units tie together really well in that fact that learning unit 2 set us up in discovering the importance of reading and writing and then learning unit 3 was a form/example of proof and how its used everywhere.
