Persuasive Essay Essay

A little disclaimer: I am not good in reflecting, and putting into words my supposed reflection and reactions about ideas or life in general. First of all, how do I reflect or react about a book that has a mutated green apple—assuming it is mutated, as its insides are that of an orange—for its cover? Ultimately, I judge books (literally books, not people) by its cover. The cover of Freakonomics looks quite complicated to me no matter how simple it looked, and led me to the conclusion that the…

I learned many things in this English class from actual life lessons to academics. I learned to never procrastinate on my work because I will forget to do it resulting in my grade going down and to also always do my work to the best of my ability so I can get the highest grade possible. Academically I learned how to back up opinions with different types valid evidence. I also learned how to identify the main elements of a story for example ethos, pathos, logos, and figurative language. I have…

what I would like more out of the class in the future. As a college course, I expected for there to be mostly essays and research papers. However, with assignments like the syntax worksheet I discovered my skills for writing became more advanced than just the surface level. My cultural essay earlier this year, “What Fuels My Fire” is drastically different compared to my most recent essay, “Driverless World, Closer Than You Think” which is completely throughout and organized . Overall, I have…

Novel Theme Essay “If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never done.” When the author said this, what they really meant was that if you want something, you have to do something that you haven't ever tried to do before. A theme that has held strongly throughout the whole book so far is that you need to work hard for what you want. There were multiple times in the book where Billy got knocked down from going for what he wants but he got back up every…

Writing this essay was fun and light hearted, especially the memoir part. Some difficulties that I’ve encountered during this essay was picking a topic that I could write about in three different genres. I was able to overcome this problem by thinking of a very broad topic, at first I was only gonna write about food in general, but it turned out to be three whole essays on Chipotle which was very intriguing. This first essay, “Evaluation” reminded me of the short evaluation assignment we did in…

The main language used throughout his 5th book of the series, "An Author's Odyssey", are personification, imagery, and symbolism. First off, Colfer uses…

Ever wonder how Eminem never even finished the ninth grade but was still so lyrically talented. That’s because all jobs require some use of intelligence and can enhance skills that people rarely notice they are using. Mathematics, literature, interacting, etc. are all used in everyday work. These require skills that even people in blue collar job systems have. Both Mike Rose’s article “Blue-Collar Brilliance” and the film “8 Mile” agree that even in blue collar jobs work is an educational place…

Rich Dad Poor Dad is an amazing book. I loved reading the book because of the way the author uses his personal story to reach the minds of his readers. The author also uses such an easy approach to present controversial ideas to his readers with the intention of getting them to embrace new perspectives about money. In this piece, I am going to highlight some of the points I picked from the book and how I relate to it. The first point I got from the book is that one can be highly learned but…
