My observing experience at both the grove and Dale’s Ridge were similar in many ways. The fact I had read Haskell’s book didn’t make me notice anything new at Dale’s Ridge, I had focused in on the small irrelevant seeming animals and plants at both observation sites. The sites themselves were also very similar, due to the fact they were both landscapes influenced by human choices and land management strategies. The grove used to be treated like every other lawn on campus, mowed over the summer…

Shingo Takatera Screenwriting and My Feature Goal I am Shingo Takatera, who majors in CTVA Screenwriting Option. The course of screenwriting option is so helpful to learn how to be a better storyteller for the motivational environment and the interactive environment. The course of screenwriting option requires all the student to take other classes such as editing, directing, and so on.

Despite the fact that I have faced challenges with the subject as of late, I would consider English to be one of my favorites. During my junior year, I was enrolled in AP English Language and Composition, and although it was the only class I did not receive an A grade in, it, without a doubt, altered how I perceive the world. English did not only improve my writing and analytical skills, but it also prepared me for life beyond my education. Being an AP class, the curriculum was designed to help…

Everyone has a belief that helps them achieve their goals. My personal belief is not giving up and always giving 100% effort. These beliefs had helped me get through some difficulties throughout my education prior to college.

I was never that good in english. English class was generally boring and hard back then. By…

For my second book report, I chose the novel The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. This book, based on past works of the author, is a mystery novel, or a work of fiction. This can contribute to one of the reasons I chose to read this book. There are many reasons as to why I chose this novel for my second report. A reason can be that mystery novels are quite interesting and fascinating to me. Reading a mystery novel always makes me want to turn the next page. It as well makes me analyze the novel…

After reviewing the rough draft presented to me, I have uncovered many areas need to be improved upon. In order to clearly identify the audience, the author ought to state whom the essay identifies with. One such example is: In today’s digital world letter writing has been lost on our teenagers and although their parents grew up in a world of pen and paper letter writing today’s fast pace has left them in the dust. This rough draft does not have a distinct purpose. It goes off in several…

Writing an essay has always been somewhat of a puzzle to me. I have only written four or five essays that required real thought and never did particularly well on any of them. To me, writing has been like a stream of consciousness from my mind to the page, not something to edit and perfect. The weaknesses of my writing out way the strengths, at least in my view. I have always been more of a reader, but I have had little practice with writing. Reading was once a huge part of my life. I couldn’t…

With each ability that a writer has, whether it is a strength of organization, order of thesis or a strong introduction or it is a weakness such as catching a comma splice, or being just below the length requirement, resources are available to improve. However, the strength I find to come naturally to me…
