REFLECTION on differences b/w fake email and your email etiquette essay

When we wrote our first fake email to a friend discussing a bad grade in one of our classes, it was fairly simple. This being because of the lack of rules that where put on the assignment. You could say that it had a little more freedom. With allot of freedom like that to write a paper, for me it is way easier and simple because i can write my thoughts down and not have to worry about following a format. For some people guidelines and a specific formats make it easier to write a paper but for me i think other wise. With the email etiquette essay, i find it extremely difficult to follow the specific format mainly because i have trouble with wanting to say what i want to say and not following the rules of the paper. As a personal problem, i have trouble following rules in general. This is probably the main reason behind why i find following the format so difficult. When we wrote to our fake friend about our bad grade and complained, it really just flowed off the top of my head and everything went pretty smooth. Dealing with the email etiquette essay, the rules of trying not to use "you" and "your" i found pretty challenging. Another thing that was a little less challenging but still had me a little caught up would be not to use contractions in our essay. I think that the big difference from the two assignments would have to be the restraints that where put on the two. One being more open and free, then the other being more formal and proper. Which would make sense because of how the two are different. One to be approaching your teacher and the other to a friend. I think that both assignments work very well into each other because we started off with an informal one then got harder with a formal one. I find both assignments helpful and something that i will definitely be using in the future.
