Anti-Federalist Papers

After long hours of research, I have finally decided which article I would like to include in my paper. The article I chose is “The Tongue Who Would Be King” that is written by Dennis Baron. This article was published in a magazine called “Science and Spirit” in the year, 2004. Dennis Baron is a professor. He teaches English and linguistics at the University of Illinois. His research mainly emphases on the language reform, the history and present state of the English language, and global English…

In the essay exam, I chose “The Yellow Wallpaper” and “I heard a Fly buzz” and compared their use of setting. Following the advice mentioned in class, I pre-wrote two outlines of the five protentional essay questions, which is similar to the structure of the sample essay in our text book. It worked well because I have the same question in the essay exam. I saved a lot time on choosing the question and organizing my essay structure. I looked for additional info on the Internet as well. Since I…

D2L, I was able to affectively incorporate dialogue into my paper, “Hurry throw me a towel! The water is freezing!’ he yells while running over to where I am sitting.” I learned a new paragraph is need whenever dialogue is used to show someone is talking. The use of internal dialogue was also something I learned to do, this showed the reader my thoughts within the memory. Although the drafting phase is relatively the same from paper to paper, I struggled with it in the memoir. I had trouble with…

professor Mr. Gehrman, a man who was known to be very eccentric, and also had high expectations for myself and the rest of my class. I would like to say that I met his expectations the majority of the time, but I’ve had instances where a couple of my papers were clearly lackluster, and he didn’t hesitate to tell me. I really did appreciate that type of honesty from a person who I considered a role model, and I believe that he was the driving force behind…

My educational background is an undergraduate degree in sociology. Through such an analytical framework, I was able to broaden my understanding of society and particularly the problems concerning labor. Through my academic development, I worked on a senior thesis that attempted to address how workers on the shop-floor attempted to deal with their day-to-day issues and their dealings with management. This thesis was unlike any other academic challenge I had faced. For once, research was not only…

Wright Session 1 Journal INT-201A For many years I floundered as to what career I should pursue. The aspirations of becoming a marine biologist or an English teacher that I had held previously were no longer in line with my interests or desires. I wanted to write and work with books. One night I had the privilege of speaking with the owner of a local publishing company who was in need of an intern editor. That opportunity gave me a passion for helping authors achieve their dreams of publication…

When I read Anne Lamott’s experiences with first drafts and writing, I kept thinking about my own experience with art and design. While I have written many essays and drafts for school assignments, the idea of reworking something multiple times has never felt as complementary and fulfilling as Lamott writing career as my own artwork. For every piece of art I make, I have to start with concept designs and initial sketches. Each drawing, painting and design begins with simple shapes that help form…

For my orthographic drawing, I created three different views of my putt putt boat. I created a top, front and side view of my boat. I created an orthographic drawing because it accurately shows the top, front and side views clearly and more precisely. I was representing a 3d object in 2 dimensions. My three views show how each side of the boat looks in detail and the accurate measurements of the boat. To create the hull, we shaped a piece of aluminum into a “pocket” by using sandpaper to sand…
