Writing is crucial to the medical field because I will have to write reports and research papers. My writing is not perfect, and I want to be considered a well-spoken writer. I have had many experiences with written literacy, primarily with reading historical and classical books when I was in middle school, writing historical short stories, having my parents’ support,…
Memory As we all know, many writers and publishers all have one specific message behind their book, poem, or even short stories in order to give out a message that many people aren't aware of. Each theorist Martin Espada, Junot Diaz, and Chimmamada Ngozi Adichie have one main goal to prove to readers. Without metaphors, representation, and stereotyping/ single-storying, literature wouldn’t be what it is today it would just be the thought of one main genre and wouldn't have much meaning.…

One of my many goals was to pass my classes having. I've shown much progress by doing lots of homework unlike years past. Something I am taking from the first semester to the second one is to keep doing all my…
As I'm sitting here in Sheetz at 8:58 PM, an overwhelming sense of anxiety is clouding me right now. As Dr. Martin noted at the beginning of the school year, mid-terms are a painful time of the year. At the time I didn't think much of his thoughts, and that notion was unimportant to me. Mid-terms have been a painful time of the year to say the least. After reviewing the content of the class at the beginning of the year, I was honestly intrigued about the work I would be putting in. However the…
meaningful paragraph that flows with information and expressive word usage than apply “adequate, Grade-A” grammar. Seemingly, I frequently have run-on sentences, abuse commas, and regrettably spell words wrong even though I pride myself in using creative vocabulary. With all my weaknesses in mind, I have to make sure I have a lot of people to look over my papers for me…
I am shamefully embarrassed of my first essay in this class. I was not aware of how terrible I was at writing. Over half of my sentences in my first essay did not make sense and if they did they were not relevant to the topic.

I also made a the point that I did not learn how to write an essay in…
