Section 1
This semester has taught me a lot as a writer. For example, I have learned that simplicity is very imperative in writing. It makes your work compelling and powerful. Nonetheless, this does not mean that clichés should be used. It simply means that one should desist from using ambiguous words and long sentences as well as long paragraphs. Additionally, I have learned that reading books novels etc. and engaging in the habit of writing on a regular basis is of great significance. It enhances your writing skills to a great extent and thus writing assignments and projects becomes unproblematic.

In 'Escape from Wonderland: Disney and the Female Imagination’’ Deborah Ross explores the impressions three animated Disney feature films give children regarding the value of their imagination and their values. The author concentrates on the films because they concern women who dream of a life that is more intriguing and stimulating . The author states that for numerous years authors have employed romances and novels to show young girls that their dreams and ambitions are unsafe and of slight meaning to their daily lives. She, however, states that young girls should believe in fantasy as it helps them visualize what they want as a first step in going after the things they want in life.
