While I agree with the ideas that writers write from egoism, aesthetic enthusiasm, and, to some degree, historical impulse, I disagree that writers write with a political purpose. I, for one, do not write with any desire to change any person’s mind or alter their perception of anything. I write so that people may have the chance at the same…
My Memoir “Come on Savannah just let me read my book to you, it won't take very long. It will help me become a better writer”, my sister proclaimed. “Cheyanne I don't want you to read me your book. You know that I don't like books, so stop trying ”, I yelled as I slammed my door. I said this in fourth grade, and little did we know that about a year later I would be eating my words. Over my fifth grade year I started to love books because I would spend all my time inside because all my friends…

Who has influenced me? This is a very difficult question because it is not something I have truly taken the time to think about. I have never stopped to think about where my influences have come from. I recently came back into writing so I will use writings and influences from when I used to write frequently in high school and shortly after. I have kept most of what I have written and going back to them has been a sad experience. Very little of what I wrote was happy, but I wrote from my heart.…
Essay writers generally approach a piece of writing with a persuasive purpose in mind. The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince readers to believe, or at least consider, some proposition that the writer has developed throughout the piece. To accomplish that task writers have at their disposal two fundamental tools—they can use narrative, which is purposeful storytelling, or they can use exposition, which is a detailed explanation of an idea, theory, or finding. Studying how both narrative…
Writers often use rhetoric to convey their ideas and to engage the reader with their subject. Rachel Toor’s essay “ Which of These Essay Questions is the Real Thing?”, and Alexander J. G. Schneider’s “What I really Wanted to Write in My Admissions Essays”, both compare and contrast as they appeal to pathos and logos to express how the college application process is flawed. Toor’s and Schneider's use of tone conveys this message. Each writer appeals to ethos and allows the reader to relate to the…
Assignment Humans are being that are constantly trying to improve. Whether on a large scale through evolution or by immediate self improvement, this desire to be a better version of what we already are fuels much of our world. The ancient commission of a writer is to write with the purpose of provoking improvement in the readers, whether this is told through a precautionary tale like that of Cal and Aron, which ultimately led to the unintentional demise of Aron, or by offering more direct…
above me to get free was finally gone. Like the ice had just melted away, and now I was swimming for the enjoyment. Class was beginning to become more pleasurable. I was actually looking forward to finding out what we were going to be doing next. With each new assignment I started to learn more about writing, and about my writing style. I began to embrace the process that I go through when I write. My attitude towards writing was changing quickly. Murray points out “Every writer goes to the…
Writing has never been one of my strongest skills nor my favorite. Even though I enjoy reading another person’s writing the thought of someone else reading mine just sends chills down my spine. I wouldn’t consider myself a decent writer whatsoever. This defiantly gets in the way of how I feel about writing at times, because it makes me insecure of what others are going to think after they finish reading my essay. When I signed up for ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume the course was just going to…
personal level the importance and sentimental value a person’s writing can withhold. In the 9th grade I had the privilege of being in Jacob’s dad’s AP human geography class. We called him Coach Woerner. He often complimented my writing on the FRQs (free response questions) we completed for his class. So, when my final assignment came about for my 10th grade literature class, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about. I wrote a poem about Jacob titled “Graduation”. I couldn’t think of a better…
