Creative destruction

When I first started this project, I really had no idea where I was going to start. I know that I love to write, I love to create characters and make them come to life. First, I thought of what I was going to do for my support piece and originally, I was going to create a non-fiction story, but it quickly turned into a poem. I have recently been to New York City and one of the attractions that I had to see was the Fearless Girl and The Charging Bull. While thinking of these statues I started to…

spaniards administered upon native clan after native clan the natives would continue to repeat history by continuing their generous ways; treating their oppressors like kings. De Las Casas stated multiple times in his book ,A Short Account of the Destructions of the Indies, how natives would “receive us [Spaniard] and regale us with victuals and other gifts, and had given us loaves and fishes and any other foodstuffs they could provide.” Another example of their generosity was when the…

My first goal for this course is to write fast and naturally. Personally, writing in English is a time-consuming and stressful job for me. It takes me more time time than domestic students to write an essay. A lot of times, I sit in front of my computer for hours trying to figure out what I should write for my next sentence. Even though I thought of what to write in Korean, sometimes it takes me awhile to translate it into English. For these reasons, I sincerely want to write my assignments…

Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg is an instructional and explanatory novel that 's main goal is to, as it states, free the writer within. Goldberg strives to have each reader achieve the level of utmost appreciation and recognition of writing that she has also. She looks at writing as a way to escape life, but also to dive deeper into it, both at the same time. Right at the beginning when talking about the purpose of the novel, she directly states, " It is…

I believe that my writing and analysis are where they need to be for me, I say that only because I am not going to be a professional writer, I am more than adequate for the career I am pursuing. I often have a hard time being critical of myself, seems that the time for self analysis is here and I am perturbed by the idea of examining myself at the end of a class. I have a hard time with it because whatever I feel like I say is subjective, I believe that I have done a good job in the class and…

I was always specific to certain genres and theme of reading and writing, which is what I think I shouldn 't have done. To me, content of any writing mattered the most, due to which, I never got my hands on writings that didn 't have the subject that intrigued me as a reader. Well, starting from the young age, I was always fascinated by science and fiction. On top of that, I have always been an automotive enthusiast so I used to spend the most part of my time reading or watching the reviews of…

On the fourth grade narrative writing assessment, Isaac scored 5 points out of a possible 20. He was scored on: Focus, Content, Organization, Style, and Conventions. The purpose and idea is slightly unclear in Isaac 's writing. It can be seen that the idea he is writing about is that he is thankful for his dad, however he was unable to provide purpose. The purpose is difficult to recognize because he was also unable to provide an introduction or a conclusion in his writing. Rather than writing…

Writing Life This sucks! That is what I would have said a couple of years ago. Writing has become more important to me in the last couple of years. When I was younger I would write here and there of just stories, but when it came to writing an assignment, I never wanted to do it. From when I was young to now I still have not written a lot. I tend to struggle to complete my own works, but when it came to school all I needed to do was research in order to write what I thought was a good paper. I…

It’s slowly turning to the last day of the year and I feel it’s time to tell you a little about what all I did during this last semester as a Junior. A small recap to give you an idea about all the fun/excited things we did in this class. Since the beginning of the school year we all had to set a goal about how many books we think we would be able to read by the end of the first semester, and then reset that goal and see if we can do better than before. Throughout this whole year I have read 5…

I don’t consider to be the best writer in the world, neither to be the worst writer in the world. I have come about many strategies, learning process, and more techniques to become what is called a “better writer”. As a writer I can say that I love my paper to stand out and to make the reader say, “Wow!” because what’s the point of writing a paper or story that is boring and makes the reader fall asleep. As a writer in this course I believed that I have improved tremendously and I have dedicated…
