only writing papers, but employing different writing and work strategies during class. The first essay that we were required to write for class was a domain essay.

It has been over a week that I have been in a pensive mood and have been contemplating about this essay. I recall how it all began. It was a tiresome evening of the last day of August and I have recently arrived home from camp. The first thing I was informed to do when I entered the house was that I had an essay that I needed to compose for a competition. My father notified me that the education director of the Toronto general consulate has challenged me to enroll into this three page essay…

The Psuedonymity practice was quite popular among apostolic writers and was widespread among Hellenistic Judaism…

On my first try, I chose a topic, brainstorming notes, and working thesis that were more suitable for an Expository essay. After professor’s feedback, I…
