Writing experience in ENG 102

My writing experience in ENG 102 has gotten better from taking ENG 101 I can say. When I took 101, we were learning the basics of writing and how to write essays. In ENG 102, we learn the concept of reading stories and writing about them. In my opinion, Eng 101 and 102 are very different from each other. ENG 101 is really for beginners who are new to writing. ENG 102 is the basically the next step to becoming a better writer. To improve my grade in ENG 102, I believe I need to read the stories more to understand them. Reading the story and understanding what I read will help a lot. Also when writing, making sure I explain more. Making sure my explanation makes sense, so I can get credit for it.
