Linda Flower is an English professor at Carnegie-Mellon University. Mrs. Flower’s main idea on Writing for an Audience talked about the writers should closed the gap between themselves and the audience. She stated that a writer should set up a common view between the writers and the readers through knowledge, attitudes, and needs. Although people have different points of view and opinions, the writer should let the audience know what the writer’s talking about. Even though the audience does not…

There were also multiple revisions needed for my rhetorical analysis. Similar to my playlist profile, I had issues with grammar and proper MLA format, so I focused in on those micro revisions. However, I dealt with some more major problems within my paper as well. You commented that in my introduction I did not have a forecasting statement, so that was added to the paper. For the section that was titled tone, style, and emotional appeal, you made the comment that I did not discuss the actual…

Anyone can be a writer, there is no need for a degree or no need of experience in writing for someone to be able to write, all one has to do is write. Writing can take and change someone’s life, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. Writing has the ability to take it’s read to whole new worlds, it allows the reader to escape from the chaos of the real world and takes them to a whole other world where anything is possible. This is the main reason on why I love to write. Writing…

Susan Sontag writes an article, "Direction: Write, Read, Rewrite. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 Needed" for the New York times. In her article, she discusses different advantages of writing and reading.

The Namesake has been a novel that has been selected for all ages to read because of how many many themes there are in the book. A review from Mandy Anderson, an advisor from Kent State University, explains that The Namesake is a very popular book that college professors have chosen for their students to read. Anderson says that it opens up discussion about “establish[ing] [your] identity separate from the family, the journey to adulthood, and coming to terms with the past.” This is an important…

As a person whose English is not my first language I can say this class is helping me a lot to develop my writing abilities. I experienced a hard times when I came to the United States two years ago. I knew very little English before I start my high school, but I was able to get the support I needed at that time from my high school. I developed my writing skills during my senior year and I did a great job in all my writing projects for the English class that I was taking. I think this class is…

Dear, Rose By reading your essay I realize that you made the same mistake that I did in my essay. Your essay lacked of structure because you didn’t write completed thought in each paragraph that you wrote. You just jump from paragraph to the other and that can make a little confuse to the reader. To improve your writing, you have to follow the three important keys in the writing skill which are paragraphs, transitions, and transitional devices. To be honest with you buddy, I still struggle…

Lamott uses her personal example to demonstrate how she was truly incapable of writing a perfect paper for her assignment, describing in full detail how she would pause from writer’s block, eventually write something terrible, and then immediately erase everything and begin anew (94). She appears to represent her dilemma as the struggle that all writers, especially students, face when they have to write a good paper and submit it before a certain deadline; she also refutes the claim that expert…

Reflection of Analysis of Minimum Wage Generally, I believe my analysis essay entitled Analysis of Minimum Wage was one of my stronger essay for a few reasons. Mainly because it allowed me to critically think about the argument at hand by letting me analyze what exactly is going through the author’s mind. As a person, I consider myself to be over analytical at times, so in a way, I believe this appeared as a strength when it came to this type of writing. Normally, whenever someone expresses an…

Silence. I am surrounded by silence. I think to myself,"Why is everyone quiet?" Someone needs to shout—start a commotion. Yet, I have heard nothing. 47, 18, 774, and 123 are the numbers holding us back. The numbers preventing us from escaping eternal silence. Over three years ago, in the sixth grade, I began tutoring inner city students through a local non-profit organization. It was during the first year as a mentor I learned the poignancy of a stable literary foundation.The majority of the…
