Bill Ezzard has always loved reading and writing even to this day. From keeping journals while traveling, telling ghost stories around a campfire with his friends cheering him on, to an advanced fantasy novel manuscript similar to "The Hobbit." He always had a passion to write. Imitation is the best form of praise, a quote from Mr. Ezzard is one of the reasons why he wrote "The Magerian Power." The Magerian Power" was started when he was twelve and was a story much like The Hobbit by J.R.R…

My major, communication with a minor in PR, is something that I thought a lot about. I have a passion for people and writing which lead me here. Communication is all about learning interactions with people and with outside forces. I am fascinated with this ever since I took a Communication class at LCC. I also decided on PR because of my love for writing. I have always been an English buff and writing has always come so easily to me. I thought this was a great minor because it will challenge me.…

Completing lessons 5-7 was a valuable learning experience since it was filled with readings and writing assignments that required a lot of critical thinking. Since I love to daydream, thinking is something that I enjoy. My thoughts usually comprise of my plans for my day, and how I can improve and complete the tasks before me. I always feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment after run things in my head first. Before this class, I wasn’t very comfortable with critical thinking since I…

MLA Format Exercise The last English course I took was an online essay writing class. I honestly didn’t like the course very much. It just seemed like I would turn things in and then I would get feedback and the teacher would tell me exactly what to fix to get a better grade. Looking back at it I don’t feel like I grew academically through taking the course. One thing I did learn from the online class was a better understanding of different types of essays.Such as; descriptive, expository,…

This is actually a good question! Personally, I will share with my wife, friends and family members before I share with my boss or co-workers. I make that statement because of the line of work I am in. My field of work does not require any writing skills yet it does require reading skills. When I say reading skills I am referring to reading blueprints of symbols and abbreviations rather than words. I am a welder and we have to read blueprints in order to put a part together and weld it…

enabling me to get my perspective across in a very coherent and understandable manner. Learning these writing techniques will help me greatly in future classes, my future career and even my own private writings. In other classes I am required to write papers and responses to questions, by taking these writing courses I find it much easier to answer these questions in a manner that is easily legible, organized, and possibly enjoyable to read. If I had not taken UWRT I am sure that I would be at a…

The 24-hour social media challenge actually made me grow as a person. The 24-hour challenge opened my eyes to many things like there is more than life than your phone and that when you are using your phone you don’t socialize. So while I was doing the 24 challenge I kept myself busy so I wouldn’t have to use my phone. I even went to the gym with my mom and sister to keep myself distracted which that was a good two-hour workout. As a person that just uses your phone 24/7, you don’t realize what…

Good evening or early morning, I apologize about contacting you so late, but I had a few questions about my grade on the Visual Analysis paper. I based my writing off of what you mentioned in class as well as the syllabus on Blackboard. You mentioned my paper was too much of an argumentative paper rather than an analysis of my image. Your feedback: "– The argument is strong, but so much of it is YOUR argument (and unfortunately I am not grading on argument or support)." From Blackboard:…

Chapter 4: Introductions and Conclusions I liked the visual of “framing” an introduction and conclusion. As a visual individual, I can spend hours picking the best photo (color, black, and white or sepia), then I still get to select the correct style, color, and size of the frame for the picture. I am beginning to visualize how important introductions and conclusions can be to a writer and their readers. The idea of a “mini-expert “ is discussed throughout this book. The benefits of becoming…

Before I could even comprehend the letters in front of me, my parents instilled in me a love for reading. And, thanks to their patience and diligence, reading and writing have always been my strongest and most beloved subjects. At the age of eight I had read the Harry Potter series multiple times and could recite my favorite passages on demand. By the age of ten I had read most of the books in my local library and by eleven I had begun to read the classics such as Pride and Prejudice. By…
