in this course, my various thoughts about English 177 as a whole and anything else that comes to mind. Firstly, I gained a lot of knowledge from this course. I learned about the various different styles of writing an essay like argumentative, persuasive, cause and effect, definition etc. Each style of essay drastically expresses the writers content in a different way. For example, if you are arguing a point you would write an argumentative essay and follow the argumentative essay plan (which…
The process of the research paper that was most challenging was organizing the paper. The reason organizing the paper was hard because I had to decide what was important information and how much of the information should I explain in depth. For example, my paper is about the history and benefits of Planned Parenthood, I had to go through and make sure I add extra information on events that led to the building of the first Planned Parenthood and recent history that was important to add. The…
Dear Colleagues: For writing project 1, we did not argue about whether McCarthy’s strategy was effective, we assumed it was effective and instead argued about which rhetorical elements, we believed were crucial to the understanding of his strategy. I argued that his introduction, his use of the three appeals (specifically ethos), and his diction were most crucial in the success of his strategy. I believe my essay has many strengths, and these include my organization and the structure of my…

An associate of mine, who is a skilled writer, advised me to just write free-style and then go back and edit, but I have difficulty doing this. Consequently, I spend more time writing than is probably necessary. I would realize an important goal if I could find a method to use to break this habit. That will probably come when I…
have spent in the educational system I have used various writing styles in my literature. These different styles have helped me to find out the type of person I am. When I first started writing, I would write in a style of just writing down words to form a story that had no true meaning. I maintained this form of writing until one of my middle school teachers had a talk with me about my form of writing. They spoke to me on how my style of writing wouldn’t help me moving forward, because other…
Nature vs. Nurture Controversy The debate is whether nature or nurture affects development more. Some believe that nature determines how a person will develop, and some believe that it’s entirely based on nurture. Some believe that your genetic makeup determines how you will be for the rest of your life. People at the other end of the spectrum, believe that you are born with a blank slate, and your environment completely determines your development. None of these people are wrong, however, the…
way in which we read the book and the information presented throughout the book. The pros of the book and also the cons. Finally, how I felt about the book. Overall, I felt us reading the book split up was hard. I would get used to the Yagoda’s style of writing and then not have to read it again for a week or two. If it was under my control I would have liked to read all or nothing. I would also like to read all of it at the same time. I very much enjoyed the articles that were on my.wartburg.…
