Better Than Ezra

English has always been my favorite subject as it provides a solid foundation for every subject. It makes you understand things better and then express logically whatever you think. I know I can do the harder problems of mathematics and physics, I love working on mathematical theorems and equations, but I always used to struggle in English. One of the major reason is that it is not my first language and I am from such a country where it is not widely spoken. I always had a lot of ideas in my…

Rationale 1 Name of Artifact: Numbers Man During this semester, we read Numbers Man. We read this because there were elements of shared humanity within it. For this assignment, we had to annotate and identify elements of shared humanity. I chose Numbers Man because it demonstrates that I understand how to successfully annotate. It also shows I understand elements of shared humanity and how to identify them. This assignment helped me understand more about annotating because I was given…

significant to people of today which I found to be a much more interesting take on the prompt. The strengths of the new essay is foremost that it is much better written than the original and it sounds less repetitive than the first which only focused on the topic of love. Areas of improvement could definitely be a lengthening of ideas and examples to better construct the argument. I had to limit the amount of things I added because it became a bit too lengthy. Overall each essay seemed to have…

am no stranger to research papers. Beginning this essay I had the mind set it would be like any other paper just translated into a letter. After my first draft I realized that would not be the case. Writing a Rogerian style letter was a first and I definitely saw errors throughout the writing process. Struggles aside the heavy research part of the paper made me feel more comfortable and I felt I was able to write more efficiently. This essay at first left me feeling lost but as I kept writing…

that as an encouragement to me to improve myself in writing different kind of essays. After what I have been through in Wri101 course, I started to know how to write good academic articles. In fact, I believe that in Wri102, I would start getting better not only in writing techniques but also in my usage of vocabulary. In fact, I started using lots of different kind of words that have the same meaning to strengthen my essay by avoiding writing the same expression over and over. Moreover,…

artists who are just as passionate about their work as I am. I want to be inspired to be an overall better person and encourage others to do the same. My goal is to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself. Even if I fail, I can learn to improve where I have previously been unsuccessful. I want to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything if I put my mind and heart to it. Art is more than just a hobby. It is a way of life; a universal form of self-expression. The beauty of art is…

would probably disagree on how they were drawn. There are things we can discuss and share now that we would not have been able to back then. I enjoyed this journal assignment because we were able to see how much the relationship has evolved for the better. There are still areas that can be improved and the squares can show areas where we can improve. For instance with my larger quadrant four, my mom has helped me figure out things that I didn't know about myself. Two years ago had know idea what…

After being employed for four years as a direct support specialist in a group home, the opportunity to be promoted to team leader presented itself. I cautiously researched the extent of the job tasks, duties, and responsibilities and weighed them to that of my abilities. It took very little time to quickly recognize some areas that would prove to be a challenge for me, as I had very little computer experience and most of the required duties of a team leader were monthly electronic client…

Good afternoon, I am an alumna of the high school you are currently working in. The reason I am contacting you today is for the reason that, as an undergraduate at the University of California, Davis, I wanted to provide you with some feedback on how I believe the direction English courses should go. I am interested in helping you and other high school teachers identify new strategies in teaching to help out high school students benefit from a high school English course and be able to apply…

thought I knew everything about writing because in high school essay were so easy to me. However, the essay we received in high school were much easier topics than I would get in college. In college you have to put more work and effort into writing because it requires more paragraphs than in high school. I knew that college writing had more than just 2 pages, I’ve heard from other students some professor require to write up to 5-7 pages. I knew I would have to put more effort in brainstorming…
