Why Students should Read the Odyssey The Article “Why You Might Want To Read The Odyssey” by Stephen Mitchell, and “A View Of The Odyssey” by Anna Blake explains why people might read the Odyssey on people's own time, or if it's important for students out of school. These articles explain the Excitement of the Odyssey, and bring Self-identity to a full. It opens up an entire story of how this man went through so much, and still managed to get home. The story of odysseus has many reasons,…

I started my journey through writing this year a bundle of nerves and a stomach full of coffee. This is my first year taking an advanced English course, but I was determined to do well. There has been no sleeping in class or slacking off this year, I’m lucky enough to take a college course a year early and at a better price, and I’m not going to waste it. I’ve learned a lot this semester, including but not limited to: identifying how exactly the author’s purpose and audience determines effective…

Malady provides the reader with the issues students are experiencing when they are writing their essay. In addition, he provides arguments to why the writing assessment is…

student like him is not to critique him on his formatting, but to help him develop a flow of writing, and make sure that he is making moves to inform the reader. The other case study focused on a student named Stephine. She was considered a confident writer and expert reader. Stephine, however, was still able to be challenged by this course. Despite the fact that she. was a good reader, Stephanie had not previously had much experience with researching. In the example of Stephanie, the course…

The quote, “So many things are possible just as long as you don’t know they are possible” by Norton Juster, means that if you believe something is impossible, you work harder to make the action possible. For example, writing an 80 page essay may seem impossible now, but people who think it is impossible now, will work harder to make sure they write the essay someda. People who know it is possible may not work as hard to achieve the goal. This is just a “theoretical” example, but there are many…

To develop his argument, the author uses a delayed thesis and literary allusion. He includes these rhetorical devices in order to show the audience how books are not as socially responsible as it was in the past.

In both Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail and the diaries of the Freedom Writers, the definition of equality is established as all people, regardless of race or other characteristics, having the same rights. King’s letter primarily addresses the segregation of blacks from whites in the 1950’s and 1960’s, while the Freedom Writers’ diaries discuss various discriminations and injustices faced in the 1990’s. Despite the two texts being from different eras, they portray the same…

simply by changing the organization. It is up to the writing consultants to help the author express their ideas and strengthen their voice—not suppress it with your own conventions. I would be a good writing consultant because not only am I a strong writer, but I am also an education student, which allows me to apply the knowledge I have attained from my teaching classes to consulting. Everyone has a different process when it comes…

everywhere it would be a complete mess. Punctuation is what keeps the paper organized looking good it makes the essay understandable if there wasn’t any punctuation the reader would just get completely lost in the story and that’s exactly what the writer doesn’t want. Punctuation has always been one of my weakest points in writing; I have struggled with it since the day I was first introduced to it. When I first attended my English class I was worried about messing up on every paper I wrote due…

reading. I have never really enjoyed reading or writing, because I never been good at it. It felt like it took me forever to read a book, and that alone made me just watch a movie instead of reading a book, and that didn’t make me a better reader or writer. I was not surprised that I wasn’t good at it though, because I never practiced. Before College when I got a writing assignment, I often opened a word document, and stared at the document for ten minutes before I came up with something to…
