Writing experience I have too many writing experiences, but the hardest was my first essay. It was hard to move from paragraphs to essays. Because I used to write at maximum three hundred words, and essays is about seven hundred words. That mean I need more materiel to write the essay. When I start writing it I didn’t know the first step on how to put an essay together. Every time I would start I would tear the paper up and have to start all over again. I knew what I wanted to say, but didn't…

Beauty and the Beast People who read literature have different opinions and perceptions about what the piece of work could be about. There are several different ways to look at a poem or story and think of the endless possibilities of what the message could be or what point the author is trying to get across to the readers. The poems “The Lamb” and “The Tyger” I believe are both coming from a religious standpoint. The author William Blake attempts to show both the beautiful, and dark side of…

At the beginning of the school year, my senior English students read arguably one of the most challenging texts, language-wise, they will encounter all year: Beowulf. The students complete this reading primarily as homework while they simultaneously read The Canterbury Tales during class. As students are reading two texts, as they do for much of the school year, it is difficult to devote equal time to both works and to assess both works with enough variety that class does not become boring or…

This week beginning March 12, 2018, we were given an assignment in the class instructing us to write a five-paragraph essay on our relationship with writing.

As a child, I was fortunate to have a few different external…

In geometry, congruence means the figures have the same measure and shape. For a student to effectively discuss congruence they must first recognize the figure and its attributes. To achieve this, the learner must be able to differentiate one figure from another. To compare figures and establish that one is congruent to the other or not, the student pulls on an understanding of shapes. To prove congruence, the student makes connections with axioms, properties, analysis, and logic. The…

On a cursory reading of Robert Frost’s 1915 poem, “The Road Not Taken,” Frost appears to be thinking that about the life choices pending a decision regarding which road to talk. Though this poem is known to be written by Frost in one of his vacant moods, the frame of mind of Frost is difficult to measure. Frost was right in analyzing his inner world when he wrote, “I’m never more serious than when joking” (Robinson, 2016). As such, literary critic and scholar David Orr (2016) is right when he…

I think writing is a process of questioning myself constantly over a period of time. As a writer, I always write something that I consider as clearly and explicitly deliver my message. However, my peers told me that it is not the cases through peer review section in class.

One of the biggest problems in my paper…
