the homework from last week and were told to mark the corresponding points in our point chart. From there, Carole talked about grammar and what she looks for in a paper.

I have learned various literary skills and I’m actually very good at literature because of my previous years in English, but my background in basic English and grammar was severely lacking. To say the least I was a very unbalanced writer. Through this English 101 course I have not only grown as a writer in a technical sense but content wise as well. The first essay I wrote was a “remembered event essay”. I…

UC 099 made me realize how badly I wanted to perfect my grammar and how focused I was to achieve that goal. Also, it made me open up with others to talk about my grammatical…

The Importance of Writing In Stephen King’s essay, “On Writing”, he talks compellingly about why we need to read and write at every opportunity. In the twenty-first century, humanity has entered a highly developed information era and modern media constantly pumps out material; but advanced technology can never replace writing. Regardless of the tricks that the newest technology can create, the basis of communication is still writing. It appears that people’s effectiveness to express themselves…
