Final American Literature paper The three works that I chose to write about for my final paper for this class are the “Way to Wealth” (1758) by Benjamin Franklin “The Raven” by Edger Allan Poe and “The legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. The reason that I chose to write about these three pieces is that they really stuck out to me the most in this class. The Way to Wealth stuck out to me one because I had never read it before so it was nice to read something new and it also made me…

rough. The use of commas was really the challenge because I did not know when to use them. Considering that I have not written a “real paper” in a long time these three types errors that I had in my paper were just stepping stones to writing even better than this one. On this paper I got an 80, which…

Many of the individuals in the selections we have read from the collections book made large sacrifices that they think will better their lives. But, are these sacrifices worth it? I believe they are and I will soon explain myself. But first, I must start by telling about the characters whose sacrifices I will be analyzing. The first character, who made the biggest sacrifice, is Annie John from A Walk to the Jetty. I will also be analyzing the sacrifices made by the children in Marita’s Bargain,…

major improvement. My writing style is slowly beginning to become more and more complex and I am also starting to advance through this process. In fact, because of me working hard to improve my English skills I am more confident and my grades are better than they would have been if I had not put in the effort. This is something that is very important to me, because I strive to be the best I can be in all my courses. I want to excel at everything I possibly can. Therefore, when I put in the…

College was different than what I originally expected. I was scared I was not cut out for it or that I would fail my classes, even though, I did well in high school. Even my friends that were older than me who already started college, made it seem like it was going to be horrible. But thankfully, that was not my experience. Looking back at the semester, I have had a few successes. First, I did well in all of my classes, which to me is a big success. I thought my classes would be extremely…

a reflection of how I have bettered my skills in the five standards of the WPA outcomes. When I first started college, I only knew simple writing concepts, but by the end of the fall my techniques have transformed from basic to critical. Writing a better thesis statement and breaking everything down are just some ways in which I improved. The point is to build off of current knowledge and incorporate the newly learned skills. In the program, it was evident I have shown improvement in my critical…

something focused to work on and has the power to add productivity in place of work. Coaches and mentors assist workers to create goals which are realistic. They can also analyze the performance of employees and assist employees set goals to make better areas of weakness. All through the process of attaining a goal, coaches and mentors give motivation and feedback in keeping up the spirit of workers to keep on track. Providing Feedback Employees in some organizations complain about rarely…

well over ten years (Adkins, 2016). These results are surprising given the strong linkage between employee engagement and business outcomes such as profitability, productivity and customer satisfaction (Adkins, 2016) and at least partially explains why 85% of executive’s rate engagement as an important or very important priority for their companies (Deloitte, 2016). Clearly, a better understanding of how to gauge and improve employee engagement should be a strong element of the human capital…

Marcus Aurelius's book, The Meditations, depicts Marcus Aurelius writing to people he considered important, and the things he's learned from them throughout his life. These people include his family, his gods, and his fellow philosophers. (his father, and his Gods having the most written of them.) Throughout the book Aurelius states the characteristics he's gained, and prevented from gaining, from these people. I see it as a thank you letter to all these people for bettering himself throughout…

Today’s society revolves around the idea of perfection even though perfection is unreachable. The standards for beauty have gone above and beyond over the years as societies advance further with technology. The way we feel, think, perceive and act, regarding our bodies, is currently based on how society feels and thinks. Girls feel they are pressured to be perfect due to social media, photoshopping, magazines and toys designed for girls. First, girls feel that they are being pressured to be…
