In my portfolio, I am including three of the projects we have done in class. The three projects we have done in class are “What is a Family?” , “Immigration Reform”, and “Negative effects of Technology”. In the “Family” project, I talked about what makes family and the affects of gay marriages and interracial adoptees. As for the “Immigration Reform”, I talked about why we should embrace the Immigration reform because it will help create a pathway for success for immigrants. It is also the…
Recurring motifs of ‘nothing’ and ‘never’ in both works suggest the insoluble cycle of madness. In The Raven, the mysterious raven flies in to the speaker’s room and replies, “nevermore” to whatever the speaker says. The bereaved speaker immerses in the concept of mortality after Lenore’s death; the speaker asks, “Is there- is there balm in Gilead? –tell me- tell me, I implore!” (CIT). The biblical allusion to ‘balm in Gilead’ suggests the speaker’s desperate desire for a relief from his pain.…
Progress Paper This is a reflection of my evaluation on my progression from the first essay I wrote to the second. Looking back at the first essay I wrote in this class titled “My Experiences” and the second essay I wrote titled “The Variety of Family Structures in Today’s Society” I noticed several things. I had wording choice and punctuation errors in both essays, but my body paragraphs had good development. I needed to elaborate more with certain topics that I brought up, but my thesis…
once I get focused and have lots of ideas, it’s really easy. The most enjoyable thing in writing for me is, like I said a few sentences ago, something to do with history. Outside of school, not much changes with my writing. I still use commas, apostrophes, periods, stuff like that. I’d say my most memorable writing experience is in 6th grade when I wrote a biography about Abraham Lincoln. When I was writing it, I actually enjoyed it because he was an interesting person. If I was a writing…
and Waldman 10). Finally, yet important, the other concept that is worth to examine is the use of apostrophe in “The Tiger.” For instance, the whole poem is addressed to the Tyger. Even though, the big question that readers ought to ask themselves is whether tiger can talk. It is true that the Tyger does not even exist in concrete sense, therefore, the only reason why the author would use apostrophe would be to keep the subject alive and in the reader’s face instead of talking about a bunch of…
Troops marching down the street, all eyes trail upon the guns in their arms, a symbol of inevitable violence. Rations slowly decrease and morale plunges. Whether it is an ambulance driver, a civilian, or combatant in service, war changes the lives of everyone involved for the worse. Due to situations like these, people develop bitterness towards fighting and instead work to express the harsh realities of war.War is presented as a hindrance to life in both Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms…

often see today in politics between two political opponents. Brutus attempts to justify his killing of Julius Caesar using rhetorical question and antithesis while Mark Antony tries to defend Julius Caesar's legacy by using rhetorical question and apostrophe. Unlike many types of stories told today, movies, and pieces of writing. This story is hardly black and and white. One could argue why it was the right thing to do for Brutus and the Conspirators to assassinate Caesar, while another could…
On the Montana 1948 essay I had grammatical errors such as, sentence fragments, capitalization errors and comma errors. Also I had apostrophe errors and one verb tense error. Throughout the play Mrs. Ann Putnam displays immense jealousy of Rebecca Nurse’s amount of children. In the beginning of the play Mrs. Ann Putnam does not want Rebecca Nurse to asses her only daughter Ruth’s health because she believes she is practicing witch craft. Mrs. Ann Putnam says “I fear her, my babies always…
