outcomes and experiences with my essays for English 1010. English 1010, defined by academic standards, is to develop in first-year college writers a deeper understanding of the complexities of writing through instruction and guided practice in the skills, processes, and strategies necessary for effective, successful writing. In my past semester of English 1010, I was able to demonstrate my abilities to be an effective writer and enhance my writing skills through guiding essay projects. I do…

When I write, I always make complicated and it becomes hard for me to think. For a second language student, it is hard for me to write essays in English. From now on, I’m going to do my assignments early so I will have more time to study. I don’t think I’m the only one who hates to write. There are so many students who don’t like to write. While writing an essay I do revising a lot. Even if it is a sentence, a word, or a paragraph. Whatever I write down, I look at it again and again because I…

with little to no writing experience; I relied on my mom to help me write every essay I was assigned. This semester I have learned that writing does not come naturally to me. Practice really does make perfect, or in my case, better. Comp 1 has matured me as a writer, and taught me countless tips for writing a successful essay. This semester I have learned to grasp the concepts of grammar, audience captiveness, and essay development. Over this short semester of Comp 1, I have seen a tremendous…

analysis, in this essay. The first obvious reason being that, College English is not like high school English. There is far more assistance that is offered to the students, with the writing and constructing their papers. Take for example the writing assistance given by the SSU Writing Center, as well as the Library and English conferences and even Feedback given by fellow college students. If the student makes full uses of these services offered by the college, they can turn a 0096 grade essay,…

decided to repurpose my essay from the first unit. After looking back through my essays, the cultural analysis essay was my weakest and the one I struggled with most. It also happened to be our first major essay. Instead of going the conservative route and choosing my best essay to repurpose, I wanted to repurpose the cultural analysis essay for a few reasons. First, I thought it would be most convenient for the multi-modal aspect of this assignment because my original essay involved pictures…

Boredom Essay Reflection Before I had come to college and taken our Bored to Tears writing class, I really hadn’t thought deeply about boredom and searched into the depths of its meaning. To me boredom normally meant a person was lazy and unproductive or stuck in a boring situation, such as the science fair. The writing tools, class discussions, passages, and books that we read in class opened my mind to the world of boredom in a new light and allowed me improve my skills as a reader and a…

Out of the three essays I wrote during the English 122 class 2016 spring semester my favorite was the Ethnography essay at the beginning. I chose it because it required me to push beyond myself to get out and get the information I needed from someone else. The writing process was really hard for me at first but after I got further into it and sought out for help it became easier. I also feel like this was my best paper as far a prep and assistance goes, I meet with teacher, talked with a tutor,…

I am a fan of reading and writing, I read in my free time and like to write. However as I’ve begun to take harder classes, gotten a job and been playing tennis, my free time has decreased and I haven’t written or read much. In previous years, including last year, I have written poems, short stories and read entire serieses in my free time. This may make it seem as though english should be my favorite subject but it is not. I like literacy, not english class, we do to much strict structure…

I believe it's human nature to try and multitask all the time but, concurring this urge is much more important. A new business owner might think to get as many customers and accounts as possible, and as quick as possible but if they do not posses the materials and manpower to get the job done they will be out of business before the first job is completed. In the article The Myth of Multitasking Christine Rosen quotes a letter by Lord Chesterfield offering this advice to his son: “There is time…

*WARNING!!!!!* The following is NOT my real opinion. As you may know, I am lazy. So, I wrote whatever is easiest, but with a little of my “secret writing sauce”. I literally found NOTHING backing up the reasons I believe in. In fact, this is one of my #1 mottos: “I believe in a perfect world if everyone else believes they can make it one”. I will reveal what that means at my induction into the rock'n'roll hall of fame. Stupid textual evidence, always ruining my opinions, dreams, life, etc.…
