Near the middle of the quarter we were assigned to write an essay on the definition of a word. The word I chose was “sex” and it has many different meanings. I chose to use this essay because I felt that I wrote this essay well and had a very detailed description. My first draft was off topic of the assignment and didn’t hit the definition but more the history.An example from my first draft is "In order to have children two people must reproduce; if they don’t then there will be no continuing generations of life. Additionally in the very distant past husbands and wives were to only have intercourse to create children." The history of sex was not the assignment it was to define the word sex. Through peer response it was brought to my attention my miscommunication of the assignment. This essay shows my improvement of staying focused on the subject and not getting carried away and off topic. My example of defining the word correctly is "In theory the idea of procreation is to engage in sexual intercourse to create an offspring (Wikipedia.com)."
