Growing up as a kid my mom and grandmother use to tell me reading will take you far in life. Every night before I went to bed they would read me a story weather I was at home my mom would read to me one of my favorite books which was Dr.Seus green eggs and ham. This book was my favorite because I like the way things rhymed and how he tried to make him like green eggs and ham and at the end he did. Going to my grandmother house she would always read me this Michael Jordan book and it talked about…

When I reflect on my experience of this EH091 class, I cannot help but think that there has been a flame kindled from a spark made from the challenges laid out in the syllabus and module assignments setup for the students’ learning. I knew that I absolutely loved reading and learning but what I wasn’t prepared for was what I discovered about myself in subsequent. In the past, I had been named in my classes in high school as a gifted artist and a decent poet. However, the living of life: being a…

Bruce Lee wrote, “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” That is true but I had to learn the hard way. When I was in high school I had a brilliant cousin that would always do my papers and assignments for me. My CXC Examinations which is a Caribbean examination was coming up and I had to do my examinations on my own. I was selected to do eleven test and I was so confident that I would pass all of them. When the results came out I only passed three of the test.…

The article I selected for this essay is Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. David shares a story of his experience in learning to speak French. He writes about his fears and the challenges he faced. I found the article to be quite humorous and very entertaining. The article’s theme of achieving goals through hard work, dedication, and persistence is because the author worked hard to overcome his adversities, he stayed focused on achieving his goal, and he did not quit even though he faced…

When thinking about the genre of short memoirs there are several aspects to consider. Thus, ensuring the reader’s expectations are met and the writing is easily recognizable as a memoir. Therefore, I have decided to focus on the specific conventions that work to enhance and further the overall purpose of the piece, and ultimately to fulfill those expectations. In order to determine if the work that I created is worthy of being considered a short memoir, I chose to use the following memoirs…

Throughout the course of English 10803, I have come to the realization that rhetorical strategies are a crucial and valuable part of writing. During the construction of my Portfolio Four essay, I kept all that I have learned and am currently learning in my mind as I typed out each word and phrase. I feel that in order for the audience to connect to and understand my argument, I must take a wise and orderly rhetorical approach in my writing. The effective, rhetorical features within my essay…

I should graduate English 101 because I worked hard, changed my attitude and perspective, and buckled down and challenged myself when it came to my writing. Throughout this course, I found myself becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable. I challenged myself not only when it came to the topics I chose but, I also dug to find small connections that made a big difference by the end of the paper. I also pushed myself to learn and incorporate new ideas and techniques within my writing. In my…

Reflection of Writing Having to revise an essay is never easy, especially if one thinks their essay is “perfect” already, but that is exactly what Professor Michael Martin made his English 366 class do for their final portfolio. The task of picking the essays was one of the most challenging parts of creating the final portfolio, because I was unsure how to tackle an essay rewrite, and I was afraid that the improvements I would make would bring down my essays instead of enhancing them. After…

Yikes! My first semester in college and as soon as I was handed my syllabus my palms started sweating and my heart was pounding. I was not used to seeing all the work we would be doing in the class on one piece of paper, so I found it overwhelming. My biggest fear was not having the skills needed to apply the theories to a paper. However, as we started I realized I had no reason to be worried I was great at it! In my fall 202 class I learned that I have abilities with both inward and outward…

Tia Reid’s Reflection Essay Of English 102 In English 102 is a more in depth develop course on intermediate writer style, presentation, perspective, and writing mechanics. On the first day of English 102, I looked to my right. I looked to my left. I looked to the front and the back of the class. All the students were present because there was not a single seat available. Midway through the semester there was more and more seats open. I asked myself was this course intense and difficult? Even…
