Reading Log #1 A Psychologist’s View: Rogerian Argument First off, I had never thought of a professor of psychologist being so knowledgeable about the problems of communication. However, after Rogers explains his background on the subject it makes perfect sense. The next thing that really impressed me in his essay was the examples he used.…
Studies show that there are over 42 different human emotions in the world, each emotion has a different meaning and there is a different way of expressing them. Emotions are universal you will be able to find out what a person is feeling anywhere you go, even if they call the emotion by a different name. “The theory is that there are four biologically basic emotions–anger, fear, happiness and sadness–on top of which have evolved much more complex varieties of emotion over the millennia.” (spring.org.uk) Throughout the story, “Raymond’s Run” by Toni Cade Bambara the main character Hazel Elizabeth Deborah Parker, nicknamed Squeaky because she has a squeaky voice, shows a range of emotions in the short time that we meet her.…
Without credible sources to back up your evidence, no one will take you seriously. With modern day blogging, any man or woman can write anything they want, so credible sources are the key component to a successful essay. Stating statistics will immediately catch the readers attention, until they question that statistic and realize it could be something that is completely made up by the author. Another important aspect of an argumentative essay is being very careful to avoid fallacies. Hall definitely covers her opinion on the topic, but she makes it seem like there are only two sides.…

Based on My Essay 2 work, the comments or feedbacks help me to improve for the next essay which is the Research Paper. It helps me to build my essay into a great one compared to my two essays that I have been done in this course. I learned that I should not stick into one side. For example, in my Essay 2, I should have given pros and cons not just only one side because I mostly give pros and not cons. This is like where I need to balance the arguments between each side.…
Despite that the argument being made is quite justifiable, the techniques used in the essay are ineffective in asserting the main idea. This is because the techniques…

Argumentative Essay Ben Franklin once wrote, “Well done is better than well said.” In simpler terms, Franklin is stating that actions are better than words. While actions and words are both elements that can be manipulated to fit a given situation, one is usually more efficient in solving problems, defining character, and accomplishing goals. In the novels Unbroken and Maus, the actions of the characters prove to be the most vital asset in their survival by helping them overcome obstacles and giving their lives meaning and purpose. On the other hand, The Scarlet Letter illustrates that being unable to transform words into actions makes one emotionally and mentally weaker.…
Literary Analysis In the novel Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut he uses a narrator to describe to us the story but not any of characters in the story. We almost have to trust that the narrator is not leading us on a path that is the wrong interpretation on the book because it is his opinion. I am going to explore why possibly Vonnegut using a narrator to tell us the story may have been the best way instead of any of the others character especially the one that the story is named after Harrison Bergeron. Hazel couldn’t have possibly been a candidate because of her being perfectly average would make the story to simple.…

Everyone hates English class is what I thought before taking English 102. However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful. English 102 this year has had its ups and downs, and I must admit the ups outweigh the downs. Meaning, this year, I have learned that I am not a student who wants to read or write, but through reading and writing my mind and skill sets concerning English have grown. During English 102 this year, reading and writing in class helped me expand my writing skills, improved my will to comprehend, and most importantly helped expand my knowledge.…

I learned new things that will help me in my English classes and also some of my other future classes. During our English 125 class we sped through the class since it was compacted into six weeks so this class went over lots of those things I was not able to understand before. With explanations, assignments, and some of the handouts we received throughout the semester helped me grow as a writer, reader and even as a thinker.…
