Born This Way (or Creative Title) In our current society, people have their own thoughts, and they act upon their own decisions. Equality 7-2521, who is now Prometheus, lives in a society where all individuality is banned. Citizens of their society have no opinions of their own, and the Councils determine everything. The leaders had absolute control over their people, but it is not because they had guns and weapons to tame them. The Councils were able to keep their people unknowledgeable about…

Responses to Written Assignment Unit 7 Response 1 Aspect 1: Grade: 15 points Comment: The essay noted the conflict, which was trying to provide an internal service, and then being pulled into providing service to external sources. The effect of this conflict was that the system developed could not handle volume. However, it is not known who the “other systems” are. It also failed to explain why a “band aid” solution was proposed. It also failed to explain some of the technical terms. Aspect…

Numerous people believe poetry and prose exist merely as methods of writing; however, there is more to these forms of literature than meets the eye. While authors throughout time have used either poetry, prose, or a combination of the two in their work, both serve as literary tools that writers implement to express, persuade, inform, and inspire (among other reasons to write). Although these styles of writing involve different metrical structures, they both use the art of language to appeal to…

section, which was expressed and written different than today's English. Old English and today’s English are very different. This letter was poorly written due to the run-on sentences that rarely had any periods, but did indeed have a mass number of commas. In section 2.2 the spelling was off by a bit. For example the spelling "dailie" meant daily and the spelling "fewe" meant few. Instead of section 2.5 being written in the same way, it was written in an educated manner. The spelling improved…

receiving my first paper back it became quite apparent that the skill with which I had written in high school would not be sufficient at the collegiate level. My writing was wordy and inefficient, my punctuation was riddled with errors, especially with comma placement, and my theses were weak, and with poor attention to audience. By my second paper I had drastically improved the efficiency of my words, and reduced some of the simple errors, but many still remained. My papers were also still dry…

"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else" (qtd. in Nikolov). Exactly the key of success is to know the rules and be the best player. For me I 'm Egyptian and everything is different here. Taking English in America plus not being my native tongue was a great challenge. I spent my childhood in a British school in Egypt so, English wasn 't that strange to conquer. In my school I studied novels, dramas, and poems. I took a lot of vocabulary and…

With a combination of colons, semi-colons, commas, and parentheses he was able to do so. I agree that the comma can be easily overused, but I also know that in some cases I use them way too often. Now that I look back on my past essays I rarely use the semicolon. As Lewis said that periods “tells you that is that”, but with semicolons…

Field Experience Report I decided to go to a seventh grade class on two separate days, April 6th and April 7th to do my field experience observations. The four different classes I observed are part of a school that is located in the lower side of the county of Otsego, New York. The city where the school is located is also known as “City of Hills”. The location of the school is hard to describe because it is located in the middle of nowhere. It is hard notice the school because the entrance of…

When I started this subject I was anxious about being competent. I never finished school, as I only went to year 9. English was my least favourite subject; however, I love to write and read. I wrote my paragraph and went to six sites that were listed in the assignment brief and waited for a response. I was nervous and thought that the programs would tell me that my writing was not good; however, it did the opposite. On Paperrater, Grammarly, Grammar Base, there was nothing wrong with my writing…

the misleading nature of the title. At first glance the title “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” could be taken to mean that Francis Macomber’s life was happy in its entirety, although it was short. However, in reality, the absence of the comma indicates the actual meaning to be that the happy part of Francis Macomber’s life was short lived. This initial misinterpretation, although brief, immediately forces the reader to think about what they are about to read, which starts the work off…
