After writing an essay on my relationship with writing, I realized that the relationship was that bad at all. I realized that I don’t lack as many skills as I thought I did. I have taken this class before and I really wasn’t confident the go around all of a sudden I have a new found understanding of reading and I feel that was what I really needed in order to become a better writer. No I am not a reader; I would rather do anything but read. Although, I have found myself tangled up in love…
recapping my moments, and just start writing whatever comes to my mind to express my words and thoughts through writing. After a while, I take a few breaks in between where I get myself a little snack or a drink and then later on, I start working on my paper. I make sure I gathered all my ideas and know what I am writing about to express my thoughts. However, while writing the literacy narrative, I make sure that…
tried to make a recycled art project? Torn pieces of paper, ticket stubs, bits of string, and even rocks can be great art supplies. Art can be made out of anything, even everyday things we use. You may think art is paint on a canvas but recycled objects and natural objects are also art. According to source 1, the German artist Kurt Schwitters created art that he called Rubbish. To make this art called Rubbish, he collected torn pieces of paper, ticket stubs, and even bits of string that he…
No I do not write perfect papers. I may try, but in all honesty I do not. In order to make one’s writing better you must be willing to revise and edit your paper, not once, not twice, but many many different time. This is why it is also very important for someone to be able to look back over their own papers and have the ability to not only fix the little mistakes but see when and where it connects. Connects I am directly talking about with not only the audience, but the time period, and the…

To be honest, I’m having a hard time writing this paper. There’s a lot going on in my life, as you know, so my mind is somewhere else, but I’m going to try my best. “BIG BROTHER”, OOPS, I MEAN HITLER, IS WATCHING YOU! I read “1984” by George Orwell my senior year of high school, I didn’t really retain much of the book honestly; mainly because I was a dumb teenager and spent my class time so stoned Cheech and Chong would envy. (Lets hope I don’t get in trouble for writing this, but hey I’ll…
the end of 8th grade was at the top of his class for academics. During the presentation of this award, one of the teacher’s made a racist comment over the microphone and this got me thinking about racism back then. Ben Carson had gone to a primarily white school and there was a lot of racism. This hardship made it difficult for him to succeed in school. After realizing and seeing the hardships that Ben Carson went through, the hardships that I go through is nothing compared to him. He had…
He states that “the first thing to do is admit your condition” (Elbow 145). When beginning to write a piece it is best to get all of the information out there and put pen to paper. He shares that it does not matter how these initial thoughts are organized or expressed, just that they are written. When compiling all of the information, it is far easier to be reminded of all the information that may have been otherwise forgotten…
Then I applied my new knowledge of rhetorical situations with an example from my work on my short essay. For example, in my first paper when I was explaining how there was a rhetorical situation in my short story that I wrote in my freshmen year of high school I first provided a direct quote of rhetorical situations. Then I provided background knowledge explaining how I used two messages…
