not found before the writer writes, but often found after they have decided to start writing. While both styles in both approaches in the writing of these same-title essays “Why I Write” are pervasive and convey…

A little disclaimer: I am not good in reflecting, and putting into words my supposed reflection and reactions about ideas or life in general. First of all, how do I reflect or react about a book that has a mutated green apple—assuming it is mutated, as its insides are that of an orange—for its cover? Ultimately, I judge books (literally books, not people) by its cover. The cover of Freakonomics looks quite complicated to me no matter how simple it looked, and led me to the conclusion that the…

I learned many things in this English class from actual life lessons to academics. I learned to never procrastinate on my work because I will forget to do it resulting in my grade going down and to also always do my work to the best of my ability so I can get the highest grade possible. Academically I learned how to back up opinions with different types valid evidence. I also learned how to identify the main elements of a story for example ethos, pathos, logos, and figurative language. I have…

They also increase our happiness when going through the message they convey. Before analyzing poems, you must be familiar with different terms like and help us mood, imagery, simile, and metaphor.

1 20 October 2017 Read Like a Writer In Mike Bunn’s “How to Read Like a Writer” he explains how one can become a better reader simply by trying to understand the article from the point of view of the writer, by analyzing every word, sentence or paragraph with one question in mind, "what effect did the writer intend to have with these words?". I believe it is important for us to have this skill because it gives us a better insight into what we are reading, it helps us understand on a deeper…

what I would like more out of the class in the future. As a college course, I expected for there to be mostly essays and research papers. However, with assignments like the syntax worksheet I discovered my skills for writing became more advanced than just the surface level. My cultural essay earlier this year, “What Fuels My Fire” is drastically different compared to my most recent essay, “Driverless World, Closer Than You Think” which is completely throughout and organized . Overall, I have…

about the stories and speeches that we read. My peers have been helpful throughout the semester especially relating to topics I have trouble understanding. Another resource I utilized was my teacher, from whom I occasionally asked for help on the essays. Before I came to IMSA, I would never talk to the teachers, simply because I had no need to. However, here at IMSA and especially with LE 1, I have learned that talking to the teachers can be very helpful and make writing much easier. Although I…

A theme that has held strongly throughout the whole book so far is that you need to work hard for what you want. There were multiple times in the book where Billy got knocked down from going for what he wants but he got back up every…

Writing this essay was fun and light hearted, especially the memoir part. Some difficulties that I’ve encountered during this essay was picking a topic that I could write about in three different genres. I was able to overcome this problem by thinking of a very broad topic, at first I was only gonna write about food in general, but it turned out to be three whole essays on Chipotle which was very intriguing. This first essay, “Evaluation” reminded me of the short evaluation assignment we did in…
