The journey through this developmental English course has been tough. From the first time stepping into the class, made me feel like my journey was going to be tougher than ever before to make it out of English 0096. Hopefully, my journey deems to be successful in my push to the next step into my college success. There were many trials to make it to this point, but with all of my improvements, I’m ready for English 1101. One of the first two assignments was a reading that the professor had given

that made me the writer I am now, was the English class I took my senior year. Everyone painted senior year to be the easiest year of all and that the teachers are not as demanding since it is your last year. The completely opposite happened to me, of course, I had put myself through another high level class, this time it was not honors but AP! What the hell was I thinking? I had chosen to take an AP English class with Santa Claus. Santa Claus was my English teacher’s nickname, Mr. Leblanc. He was

English 101 has been an eye opening writing experience compared to my prior English courses. I learned how to edit various steps in my process of composing an essay to be able to revise the essay effectively before the deadline.The class was also required to create a schedule which outlined the various steps in the writing process. This schedule helped me to complete the essay with sufficient time to revise and peer edit and decreased the stress of being able to finish the essay on the deadline

Looking in the mirror at the actual physical presentation of myself, I investigate what other people interpret the view as. My hair is pulled up and tight, various people have suspected military, but I have never been enlisted. though I do enjoy being organized and prepared. My glasses and crooked teeth would suggest that my parents were low income, no corrective surgery or braces for me. My body image would be identified, instantly by women, as having children and I do have two sons. After one

the basic of speaking, and writing in English. For example, my friends are able to understand, and interact with a movie in English, even if the movie does not have subtitles in Spanish. I have only been studying English for two years, and I successfully completed high school in the United States. However, in the two years I spent learning English, I encountered many struggles within writing, and speaking English eloquently. The three times in which English has caused me most difficulty were at presenting

English Composition II 4 September 2012 Motherhood “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). I had first discovered the quote when I was about nine months pregnant, and more than ready to greet my first child. It had opened up a whole new perspective for my life at that moment. My excitement flourished when I realized that this quote would come true

Her career as an English teacher also contributes to the fact that English is associated with self-control: as a teacher, she has to monitor her speech and make appropriate word choices to ensure that her learners understand her. There is no need to impose such level of control over her use of Russian since this is the language of her nearest and dearest, and she uses

According to the Oxford English Dictionary Mother is an "Old English mōdor, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch moeder and German Mutter, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin mater and Greek mētē ." The word Mother has a form of initial respect. When Ashley calls her mom " ma" her mother will

I hate writing about myself. It’s typical, but it’s true. I always try to bend the rules to write about anything else. So when I saw this prompt, I had no idea what to write about. At first it was just that I didn’t want to write about things from my past, especially unpleasant things. However, I soon realised that the problem with this paper was that I wasn’t over most of my struggles—or rather, I wasn’t in a position to write about them well. I sat down and thought about what I could possibly

The English language withholds an array of fascinating and enchanting words filled with meaning. Talk about the dictionary and its powers- what a resource it is)The different words that interested me which I looked up in the dictionary are ablution, abort, change and gay. All of these words aroused my interest due to specific situations. I have accounted those with the explanation of the words. Ablution. Ablucione. Ablucioun. One word, many forms, many meanings. The English language possesses the

When William Shakespeare died in his birthplace of Stratford-upon- Avon, he was recognized as one of the greatest English playwrights of his era. In the four centuries since, he has come to be seen as not only a great English playwright, but the greatest playwright in the English language. Reflecting upon the achievement of his peer and sometimes rival, Ben Jonson wrote of Shakespeare, “He was not of an age, but for all time.” William Shakespeare

every high school teacher has said something around those lines at least once to their students. While the statement is somewhat true, the idea can easily be debunked with the statement “It is only as hard as you make it to be.” My experience with English 1010 was that it indeed was challenging, but not hard. I stayed on top of my assignments and did my best on them so I wouldn’t feel the assignment was completed half-heartedly. I have efficiently met the Essential Learning Outcomes by working through

Abstract definition of Challenge . Facing the fear within myself. Facing our fears is a challenge in a very complicated way in life. When we face our fears it is more complicated than you would think. It is more than facing the fears of thinks like just spiders or the bogyman in the closet. Instead it is about facing fears internally inside you. In order to deal with the challenge of facing fears inside yourself it takes a enormous amount of persistence and the ability to never give up.

of communication whereby people use it as a tool to deliver and receive information. In view of English has been the most powerful language nowadays, people tend to question what Standard English is and which Standard English to be used by everybody; Standard British English or Standard American English or any other standard. 1. What is Standard English Debate? To know what Standard English is, people need to know from where it has been derived and why it is chosen as the standard variety

the more modern, versatile English language. In this process of modernization, English became the prominent "mother tongue" and other modern languages (Spanish, French, Italian) became "foreign" languages. Out of this seemingly random occurrence caused by only a handful of people, a unique monolinguistic identity was born for North Americans. As the U.S. demographic evolves with more children raised in non-English households, it is questionable whether or not the "English-Only" movement is ethically

I think George Orwell made a good point when he said “the English language is in a bad way”. However in this generation it is not politics that is affecting our language; it is social media. Websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have all clearly made an impact on the way we speak and write the English language. Social media has become a quick and easy way to communicate. And while it may have its few benefits, it has definitely had its negative effects on society. Emoticons, acronyms

Finding Myself People think it’s so easy to change. They think it’s so easy, but it isn’t. Sure, things don’t always stay the same. You get a new couch, boys come and go, you gain a new scar, discover a new song, or you find a new passion. But in the end you’re still just you. Always spinning and turning in awkward beautiful shapes like a ballerina on a floor, spinning and spinning only to come back to the same position. A conflict I’ve always had to face a lot in my life is myself. I’ve always

Myself Before the Marine Corps, and Myself After (Item to Item) Before I had joined the Marine Corps I was much different than I am now. During high school it was as if I was sleep walking through my entire life. I had no ambitions, and I had now worries. A worry free life might be what some people are looking for, but I found that I lacked responsibility and discipline. During school I would either sleep or simply ignore the instructor, my attention to detail was completely nonexistent. I sat

During the Poem “Song of Myself” Walt Whitman examines the complex idea of belonging in society by using sly commentary and symbols alike, while writing with a seemingly egotistical style. This piece was one of the twelve poems from the original collection of “Leaves of Grass” published in 1855, which was shortly before the Civil War started. This was a time of despair for Whitman because he was living in a fractured union. During this piece Whitman used many evocative situations to capture the

My group consisted of myself, Kausar Uddin, Josh Samuels and Adam Doogan. After I formulated a rough idea of what film I wanted to make, we all pitched what we thought could have improved it from there, conversing about such things as to what extent of a relationship the lead characters have within the narrative. Early on, pre production, we did not distribute roles to each individual because we wanted everyone to share responsibilities; However, towards the end we agreed on roles based on what occurred

The English language has and will continue to be the unifier of worldwide linguistic diversity. As a result of its globalization and its relative status symbol, the spread of the English language has facilitated the decline of several smaller languages such as those discussed in Russel G. Rymer’s article “Vanishing Voices”. Containing what is arguably the densest concentration of English speakers, the United States population speaks the language with a distinct vocabulary and accent.

INTRODUCTION HOW DO I SEE MYSELF? My personality focuses on social aspects, but it also requires that I give myself some time. According to the Jungian Type-16 personality indicator, I’m an ENFP – that is an extrovert, intuitive, feeling and perceiving person. I’m a person who is energized by being around other people. I don’t prefer being alone, and I believe that I’m the type of person who talks her feelings out unless it comes to certain crucial decisions. I sometimes like being alone, because

Treatment For this disorder takes a long time to somewhat recover. there are many methods of treatment like, Psychotherapy, medication, hypnosis, and prognosis. I chose to watch the movie "Me, Myself and Irene" and use it as my paper topic. Although the movie's diagnosis was inaccurate, it still displayed a personality disorder. The plot was really simple and easy to follow along. Jim Carrey plays the lead role as a character that is diagnosed

as well as literature. My father moved me out of the University of Bonn to the University of Berlin, where I began to focus on Hegelianism. The concept behind Hegelianism was “the rational alone is real”. Ludwig Feuerbach, who was a Hegelian like myself, influenced me into this ideology. I found great intrigue from the dialect spoken by Hegel however; I constantly questioned the idea of this philosophy. I began to form my own hypothesis that the base of reality is in the economics. Contrary to the

Studying English has not only taught me about humanity, but it has also shaped me as a person. From elementary school until now, the subject has always been interesting to me, and I have discovered that studying it in depth throughout college has deepened both my knowledge and appreciation of the field. Not only have I been given the resources to learn English, I have also been provided with the tools to continue the process of sharpening my reading and writing skills for when my college education

Dull gray light, the familiar light of an overcast morning, took the place of the blinding sun in my dream. Just a dream, I told myself. It was only a dream. I took a deep breath, and then jumped again when my alarm went off. The little calendar in the corner of the clock's display informed me that today was September thirteenth. Only a dream, but prophetic enough in one way, at least

I would consider myself as being able to “fit in” based on my appearance as there was not a lot of differences between myself and my peers growing up. Even though I am not truly aware of all of the privileges that I experienced based on the fact of being white, however I do know that I did not have to face the hardships of individuals of a minority race would have faced in a predominately white community in the past or in the current times. On the other hand, I was not exposed to the diversity pertaining

January 20th, 2012 It’s Only Natural: Racial and Gender Equality in Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” In the opening line of Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself,” it becomes immediately evident that his song is not about himself, but about the entire human race: “I celebrate myself, and sing myself, and what I assume you shall assume, / for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you”. His poem extols the mundane aspects of everyday life that a traditional poet of his day would not have considered

I learned a lot about myself this semester. I am still searching for who I am and who I want to become but with doing the MVV it allows me to not only think about these things but also really answer the tough questions and get an answer on paper. Though it may not always be the most positive answer, I have to start from where I am at and try to mold and shape those into who I want to become and be recognized as. I started this course in a negative mind frame. I was holding onto grudges that were

The question to ask is: ‘Why not use Standard English all the time?’ Language is a powerful communication tool the user holds to express their individual identity and ingroup solidarity. The use of Standard English helps to direct this, as it acts as the structure of communication, ingroup and between speech communities to effectively present a standard for mutual understanding. Outside of Standard English comes the use of slang, netspeak and textspeak, which helps to develop and enrich the language
