Hard Copy

She made her mark, and spoke out. Not many people have the guts to do that. Malala was also very good about raising awareness. She began writing an online and hard-copy diary for BBC under a pseudonym, Gul Makai. She also teamed up with renowned author, Patricia McCormick to pour her story into a book, selling an initial print of 125,000 copies, and making over $2,000,000. While she managed to put herself and her cause out there,, there certainly were obstacles. While she struggled to make her…

of negligence when they were growing up. This is caused by the mentality, “But you should honor your father and mother most of all; that’s why you should find out what they think and then sort of copy them” (Coles, 2003, p.439). Children blindly copy their parents’ abdication, and then their children copy their abdication, and if this process remains unchanged, it becomes a never-ending cycle. Undoubtedly, this cycle needs to stop, as Coles proclaims, “[I]t would be well to do so before they…

but otherwise lively country man who extolled the virtues of hard work and frugality. He wrote this pamphlet expecting to sell enough copies for a small profit, but nothing more. After all, almanacs were only good for the local population they covered, so they had a limited range of customers. Franklin's proved different, though, and was successful enough that he had to make three impressions of his first almanac. He sold 10,000 copies a year and it proved to be his most popular publishing…

We all can agree that wherever we go, we are told to not copy anyone’s work and to be original. Everyone gets ideas from other people and builds upon that which can make it hard to understand what can be plagiarism and what is not. This last issue with plagiarism that Gladwell described really puts the issues writers face into the light. People can write about anything…

alphabet from his Mistress, the slaves master wife, though it was prohibited. However, the Mistress stopped from teaching him how to write because of the racial inequality of that time. That didn’t stop Douglas from finding a way to learn. He then copies the letters written on the wood in the lumber yard and memorizes them every time he goes. Another method he used is to challenge his “white” friend to write. He would compare his writing to his “white” friend’s writing so he could get an idea on…

Basically, in order to explain knowledge, we need to explore the biological roots of cognition. This can be extremely hard for the reader to understand, and quite frankly it is not the easiest concept to grasp. Maturana and Varela break down this concept by starting from a very basic point of biology. They explain that “the biological roots of knowing cannot be understood…

A Well Written Persuasion The article “How to Mark a Book”, was written by Mortimer J. Alder, Ph.D., and published on July 6, 1941. This article is the “father of books” opinion of the benefits of marking in a work of literature as you read it. Dr. Alder devoted his life to education and firmly believed that great conversation and learning stems from the discussion of great works of literature. This article particularly highlights this belief as it is his expressed opinion of the proper way to…

reasoning behind why I was given this nickname was never known, but I do have a couple of ideas. My first idea was that he was my role model, so I would try to copy anything and everything he did. Whether it was my attempts to copy his on- field play, his leadership, or even his humor, I tried to be just like him. I feel as in trying to copy so many things, I separated myself from trying to be him, into who I am in myself. I am Thomas Clay. As I grew older, I began to enhance my leadership…
