In my rhetorical essay on, On Writing Well, by William Zinsser I tried my best write an essay to effectively show my reader in what I believed. In this essay I wrote how I thought William Zinsser was very effective in proving and demonstrating his points to his readers. I went into talking about how he involved some of his points through his own writing and as he did was very effective. As I wrote my essay, I included quotes and examples that Zinsser used through the book, to show prove of what I would state and why I stated it. Throughout my essay, I had many complications in trying to get my point across due to the fact that I had trouble understanding the concept of the essay myself.…

Interestingly, contemporary articulations of mestizaje accentuate half breed social encounters and the relations of power. The social position of contemporary scholars to some degree clarifies the late-twentieth-century plans of mestizaje. The term mestizaje taking as its root mestizo or "blended" is the Spanish decent word for miscegenation, the general procedure of ancestry mixing. Mexican American evolved as a new identity in the beginning of the 20th century. These showed a great relationship between the dominant and the subordinate groups.…
Meiland’s Audience and purpose for this article is he is looking for high school seniors and first year college students to see the difference from and transition from high school to college is a little different than middle school to high school. This makes me wonder how much the difference will be or how it could be similar. The text suits this argument because it talks it about how the college professors will teach differently than high school teachers and the subject matter will be a little different as well. Also, it is just not all facts you will learn in college they try to create a little debate in the class discussion.…
First error I noticed, was Micheal posted his disscussion late, along with that, he didn't meet the requirment word count. He did not use complete sentences and his grammar with his punctuation was incorrect. Micheal should use his resourses that Ashford provides, like grammerly and tutoring. This would help him with his spelling, grammar and punctuation. Also, tutoders can help Micheal with better time managment.…
I am writing this letter to share my experience as a ninth grade student in English 11 at Fairfield Warde High School. I would like to discuss both the positive and negative aspects of the English curriculum this year, as well as the transition from middle school to high school as it pertains to my English experience. Throughout the year, there have been several texts that we have not only read, but spent a significant amount of time analyzing and discussing. One of the most effective units was on the novel Anthem by Ayn Rand. This novel explores the contrast between the philosophical concepts of individualism and collectivism.…

The story that I want to share is, the basic yet often talked about transition, between high school and college. High school was so much easier for me back then, you could get away with so much more and not worried about homework as much. Now in college, it feels like I’ve sat down for the longest, scariest, most agonizing rollercoaster of my life. English in high school wasn’t much of a concern to me. Teachers didn’t persist on teaching students good writing habits or the depth of what writing can go into, like they do in college.…

English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
What I Have Learned in English 101 I have learned a great deal in my second UA Early College class, English101. My writing skills have significantly developed and I have become a more experienced writer. In this class, I have learned to use MLA formatting, writing strategies and processes for different audiences and purposes, a variety of rhetorical strategies and processes for analyzing, and how to revise my work with attention to purpose, development, style, grammar, punctuation. Before this class I was unfamiliar with MLA and how to do a works cited page.…
“The melancholy of those black days has left so long a shadow that it darkens the path of years that have since gone by. These sad memories rise above those of smoothly grinding school days.” This quotation depicts the emotions of many young Native American students that attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial School. The infamous boarding school was opened in 1880, to assimilate the Native people of the “white” country that was once theirs. Carlisle had a prodigious significance in the depreciation of the Native American culture.…
