Writing is something that everybody does. It takes many forms: a text message, an email, an essay, a resume, or anything. A lot of the time we find ourselves writing for fun, that is, if we are writing to converse with someone. Other times, we find ourselves writing almost robotically, following format and length requirements. These are the times in which writing is less enjoyable. However, some people have learned that even when they have requirements to follow, they can still enjoy it.…

After reading upon the review of Carol Ann Duffy’s poem, “Mrs Tilscher’s class”, which was written by John Smith on the back page of The New York Times(which was published on 14 march 2016) stating the poem lacks a theme and has a cursory meaning behind it, which I strongly disagree because there is theme which is portrayed by the use of different literature devices by the author ;which occurs consistently throughout the poem and has a deeper meaning behind it- which he completely missed out on-…

The usage of the right type of language is extremely crucial when used in a writing. If used correctly, it sets the mood of the storyline, it causes readers to get lost into the pages of the writing. Language is an extremely powerful weapon authors use to get into a readers mind. Like so, Yann Martel, the author of “Life of Pi” uses a beautiful form of language to tell us about Pi’s journey to survive alongside Bengali a tiger in the Pacific Ocean. The theme of this story is that Man’s inner…

Reflection text. When I applied for the English course, I did not really know what to expect. Sure, I knew it would be a lot of work to do, a lot of thoughts to think, and many new things to learn. However, I find the course interesting, and I have learned so much already. One of the main things that made me want to participate in the course is that I want to be a better English teacher. During this course, I got different kinds of inputs, and I find all of them interesting. Some of them made…

I tried to write a lot of things for this event, which was the first school event we held by ourselves, who were the new students of the high school club.

All things I need to…

I never was a kid that loved Reading and Writing. Science and History were my favorite subjects from elementary to high school. I always had a problem with grammar and sentence structure, I never understood where to place a comma, a semicolon or a period. It was always funny to me that my favorite part of any English class was when it came down to poems, I loved writing poems it was something about them that freed my mind. I can’t remember my first poem but I do remember that it was the first…

University because I had already taken the course through a dual enrollment course at my high school. Entering from that class to an actual college English class was very different than what I thought. In the dual enrollment course it was more focused on creative writing than technical writing. In the dual enrollment course it was more of a literature class and I thought college English would resemble that more. We would have an assignments to discuss literature and journals to help us practice…

When I first heard about taking a college English class I was a little hesitant knowing that I am not a very strong writer. I was worried that a college class would be much more fast paced and difficult than the high school classes I had become accustomed to, I was concerned with the class being online, and not having any face to face communication, and I was afraid I would not be able to keep up and I would fall far behind, however this was not the case. While I did struggle some in this class,…
