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…

into the poems. They were full of emotion. I could relate to most of them. It amazed me because it was like I was reading how I was exactly feeling that moment. For someone like me who couldn’t express my thoughts into words easily, it was like the writer had some sort of magical power to read the thoughts inside my head. This was when I discovered what Hirsch what talking about in How to Read a Poem about “Poetry we are participating in something which cannot be explained or apprehended by…

During my first essay I started out with the impression that I had done some of my best work and that there was no way that I could receive a bad grade on this piece of work. After reviewing the feedback I received I found that my work was not up to APA standards. The narrative that I wrote was more of a creative writing piece and barely a scientific piece. I thought that this piece was going to be great because I was very descriptive and visualized most details of my experience. I thought it…

FORM The form of a text influences the way it is interpreted to a large extent. As I had mentioned before, Whitman is considered to be…

Writing a novel can be quite difficult if you don’t know how you as an author can make a story understandable for everyone, even if you as a reader don’t know anything about the topic. Authors have been struggling with this issue for many years, because there isn’t any guideline that tells them how they can make their story understandable, interesting and looking nice. And those are pretty important to create a good novel. Safran Foer for example, has chosen to use the visual writing theory in…

Here I am typing an essay about my life, the only problem is I don't have much to tell that I'd want to write about. I'm 15 and I am just like everybody else on this Earth, no less, no more. The only thing that really comes to mind when you ask to write about my life is my bestfriend at the moment. I love my family and they can never be replaced, but at this very moment I would like to talk about my bestfriend, Casey Lee. I meet Casey in 6th grade when I had class with her, we didn't even talk…

Paper At first, the thought of being in a college level english class made me extremely nervous. Although I really enjoy writing and being creative, I have never felt like I was a good writer. I definitely had room for improvement. Before taking this class, I have never had a teacher tell me how to properly write an essay. I felt like they expected us to know how to write an A+ paper straight out of the womb. From freshman to junior year in english class, I was thrown into writing. I remember…

Oh Boy… Another Paper Is Due Whether in English or in History, in college or in high school, we have all faced the daunting moment when we are assigned the dreaded multi-page paper. For most, this assignment is challenging from the get-go, because from the start, our only aspiration is to get it done and get a good grade. At least, this is my mindset when approaching a paper. However, is it necessary for writing to be such a challenge? Fortunately, there are many professionals who have felt the…

complexity in each metaphor when she argues, “Since metaphorical expressions about composing that are common in the culture are part of such socially distributed information, it is likely that they too influence our conceptions and our behaviors as writers” (Tomlinson 59). Tomlinson argues the exact point that she is trying to get across to readers. Not only does she show how metaphors can change our actions and the way we think, but also the different metaphors that people have for the same…
