    For my Writing final project I did an analysis of the author Ben Mikaelsen. In my research I learned a lot about Ben Mikaelsen’s past and how it affected his writing style and his motivation for writing Touching Spirit Bear.

Ben Mikaelsen was born on December 8, 1952 in La Paz, Bolivia. He was one of six children in his family and his parent were very religious, but they barely had time for their kids, this made him and his siblings self reliant and adventurous.…

    I have been writing some assignments in which I had to include poetry, logos, pathos, ethos and many more during this school year. It has taught me how to use each one of them in different ways. During this school year I read a poem which is written by Emily Dickinson and it taught me how poetry is written and it also carries a meaning or an hidden message, also an expression or thought that the person feels. For example, in one of her poems “hope” she uses an example of a bird or a angel to express her thought or feelings and how it can destroy you in a quick instant, but it can also help without expecting anything from you.…

    The idea behind my project is to show how the aphorisms were always running through Morrie's mind. I drew a silhouette of Morrie and filled it with aphorisms that stood out to me.

My project is another tool to help get Morrie's many messages read.…

The main point of the reading was to help the reader see what they have to offer and what other people the reader knows can offer them. The concept I had the most trouble with is coming up with assets of mine that weren’t materialized but actual individuals.…

    The American Dream is defined as the pursuance of freedom and prosperity through hard work and perseverance. Ken Kesey, the Merry Pranksters and Hunter S. Thompson all saw themselves pursuing this dream through several different endeavors. Their writing and expression of self was one of the primary means of their reaching for freedom. The heavy drug usage that was a major part of the culture of the day and also attributed to the pursuance of freedom for this band of countercultural icons. These authors often used their writings as an escape and typically based the characters in their novels off of real-life counterparts who were figures close to the author (friends, family, lovers, etc.) as evidenced by the characters in Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and also in Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing series (particularly Fear and Loathing mainstay and Thompson persona, Raoul Duke).…

I wanted to incorporate these skills into my project and challenge myself in new and different directions.…

He believed the self and society were inevitable and inseparable; as a result, he shared, “there can be no self apart from society;” the fact is, ‘the self’ is richly engrossed in societal proceedings or interactions and that the society cannot be functional without the attributing -factors that imbues meaning into it, which I share here as ‘the self’.
