Feminist writers

Semester Test In the begin of the year I took this class because I want to improve my writing. I need them to improve, so I would be ready for college level writing. Now that the semester is coming to an end I am reflecting back on the progress made. The way I approach writing as changed greatly since the beginning of this class. Before taking College Prep Writing II, I would just write a paper the way I thought it should be. After taking the class though I am now looking through my paper more…

One of the things that makes me as a stronger and more develop writer, is what my passion lies on, which is Filmmaking. There are also many different ways that you can be stronger as a writer, but what is the point of doing something if you are not enjoying it. A quote from one of my favorite actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, “The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it”. Therefore, as a filmmaker, I always thought that writing is a really good practice…

The prewriting strategy that I like most is a combination of brainstorming and listening. It's a combination because I will record my ideas (brainstorming) about what I will write about. Then listing to my brainstorm in a form of a recording, it comes a combination strategy. I find this combination of both strategies to work well for me. Being that English is my second langue, when I brainstorming my ideas onto a paper I get stuck trying to spell a word and losing my train of thought. By…

As a writer you have the power of letting someone escape from the world and into the words you write at your fingertips. I personally don’t have as strong of a connection to writing as I do reading. Although, I did have the opportunity to possibly let someone…

The issue that I strongly feel that should be addressed is, “Should reality television be regulated?” This topic intrigued me because reality television affects other issues such as censorship and the corruption of today’s youth. There is many different arguments revolving over this issue which is why I feel that this topic will allow me sufficient evidence to write this research essay. The different perspectives about reality televisions is something that I believe that I can personally relate…

I really enjoyed Sandra Cisneros reading of her memoir, A House of My own. I enjoyed this performance for numerous reasons. Firstly, because it was a chapter that was very fresh and clear in my mind. Whilst watching Sandra read her written words out loud I felt as if I could see my own book in front of me and read the words along with her. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that I love writing and there are certain genres and authors that I can genuinely enjoy reading, I am a very poor reader.…

Writing has never been one of my strongest skills nor my favorite. Even though I enjoy reading another person’s writing the thought of someone else reading mine just sends chills down my spine. I wouldn’t consider myself a decent writer whatsoever. This defiantly gets in the way of how I feel about writing at times, because it makes me insecure of what others are going to think after they finish reading my essay. When I signed up for ENGL 1301 I was quick to assume the course was just going to…

The Okefenokee Swamp is an interesting place to learn about regardless of how it is described in both passages.The writers differ extraordinarily in their style of writing about the swamp and in their description of the swamp. In the two written passages, there are two detailed descriptions of Okefenokee Swamp. Both seem to be factual; however, one author is informing the audience with facts about the Swamp, while the other is entertaining them by using figurative language to describe the swamp…

Many authors use rhetorical strategies in their work to help give the reader a better understanding of the content. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis both have several similar examples of these rhetorical strategies. Although the two novels are completely different in genre, the techniques used by the two authors to write each, are similar. One example of these rhetorical strategies is a contrast device. More specifically, the contrast of two…

most challenging tasks to take on as a writer is titling one’s work. The exact wording of it might be as timely a process as crafting the work, and it is certainly not abnormal for the title to actually be finalized after the work is completed, when the writer finally knows exactly what his or her title is meant to encompass. However lengthy the process though, it is absolutely a venture worth investing in since titles have many functions for both writer and reader. Most notable is their…
