I am a fan of reading and writing, I read in my free time and like to write. However as I’ve begun to take harder classes, gotten a job and been playing tennis, my free time has decreased and I haven’t written or read much. In previous years, including last year, I have written poems, short stories and read entire serieses in my free time. This may make it seem as though english should be my favorite subject but it is not. I like literacy, not english class, we do to much strict structure…
paper. My dream of being a writer came to an end when I was in High School. I was a freshman and my Spanish teacher gives us an assignment. I must read the book “Marianela” by Benito Perez Galdos and write an essay. I read the novel I was fascinated by the story. I read the book cover to cover, twice. After I read this book I want to be a writer. I started to write short stories, poems, and quotes that I kept in a notebook and I did believe they were great. Also, I kept a journal. I wrote my…
writing. When I write, it is more of my mind talking on paper instead of my mouth talking. Some things sound better in my mind than they do when I read them out loud. I never did write much at home unless I had to do English homework, but when I did write I wrote pages.

I remember when I was in fourth grade I was at my lowest point…

says ‘’Just at this point in my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her among other things that teaching a slave to read and write was wrong.” (36). Mrs. Auld was teaching Frederick how to read and write, which back then was a bad thing to do because if your slaves could understand what you were saying they could find ways to escape. Frederick…
related to the essential questions of this artifact: “Why do people leave?” and “Why do people stay?” I think Mr. Smith assigned this artifact to demonstrate how literature not only connects to history, but also helps us not to repeat it. I chose to write about perseverance because it appeared very relatable to the concept of staying in one’s situation. At first, I used Post-It notes to simply highlight quotes that…
The Awakening Essay “The takeaway is that only you know who you were born to be, and you need to be free to be that person,” Ruby Rose. In other words, Ruby Rose believes that you should be free to be whoever you want to be. Society should not have to decide who you are supposed to be. Kate Chopin’s The Awakening describes how society has certain expectations for females, taking care of their children or doing housework. Chopin uses symbols to describe the character’s , Edna, awakening to being…
improve with my reading and writing skills later in the future. Reading and writing is important because everyone needs to learn how write and speak good to communicate with people. People learn how to read to by pronouncing the letter out and so by looking pictures from a book that they are reading. Some people learn quick by reading a book and by pronouncing out the word and understanding the words from the books. Some of them have difficult in reading and understanding the…
is another site I have recently tried that has some advantages. The APA Manual is also helpful in learning how to write properly as well as using citations. I believe these resources will help me become a more scholarly writer. Grammarly and SafeAssign have already become assets for me. When using Grammarly I appreciate how when I submit my document it goes line by to check for my errors and gives suggestions. If you pay for the premium service…
When I started my first job as a profesional newspaper reporter (This job also served as an internship during my junior year in college — I just didn’t leave for about 6 years.), I quickly realized that all my experience, and all my years of journalism education had not been enough to help me write stories about drug busts, fatal car accidents and tornadoes. All the theoretical work I’d done, and all of the nifty little scholastic and collegiate stories I had done, did not prepare me for real…
