Paper Towns

The Namesake has been a novel that has been selected for all ages to read because of how many many themes there are in the book. A review from Mandy Anderson, an advisor from Kent State University, explains that The Namesake is a very popular book that college professors have chosen for their students to read. Anderson says that it opens up discussion about “establish[ing] [your] identity separate from the family, the journey to adulthood, and coming to terms with the past.” This is an important…

It really helps me when I use it during my writing assignments, because I use it as a guide to have a better paper. Through the GAPCaT I learned how to focus on the matter that I would like to write about without losing my point. Knowing who I’m writing to was also one of the things that I had difficulties with, but now I can say I have learned how to make that…

The inquiry paper “Smokin”, by John Seilman was a very interesting inquiry. It was a good example of a well done experiment write up. Even though the inquiry and write up was good, there is a way that the paper could have been great. John Seilman did somethings well on his paper, the student could have improved in three main areas of a usual inquiry write up, and after reading this a lot of more comments and curiosity took place. The paper had many great points. The topic was interesting. The…

This book is a treasure, it pushes you to think about certain things that we would think of in our twenty-first century lives. I would encourage everyone that has a desire for answers to the over looked questions. It gives an answer that is less on the magic side and give you an insight to the great minds of the future and past. The characters of the book are unique and assemble almost a magical team. The plot of the story is simple, however, to truly under the characters yearns and reasoning…

Dear, Rose By reading your essay I realize that you made the same mistake that I did in my essay. Your essay lacked of structure because you didn’t write completed thought in each paragraph that you wrote. You just jump from paragraph to the other and that can make a little confuse to the reader. To improve your writing, you have to follow the three important keys in the writing skill which are paragraphs, transitions, and transitional devices. To be honest with you buddy, I still struggle…

uses her personal example to demonstrate how she was truly incapable of writing a perfect paper for her assignment, describing in full detail how she would pause from writer’s block, eventually write something terrible, and then immediately erase everything and begin anew (94). She appears to represent her dilemma as the struggle that all writers, especially students, face when they have to write a good paper and submit it before a certain deadline; she also refutes the claim that expert are…

I thought that both were very powerful stories and both really drew my attention, but in my opinion I think the book was more captivating and powerful because it told the whole story in so much detail. And the book made me more interested and I understood more of what he was saying in the book. I feel that the speech was very interesting also but it didn't really make me that interested and it didn't make that much of sense. But the book had a lot more detail I feel like and also I just feel…

Reflection of Analysis of Minimum Wage Generally, I believe my analysis essay entitled Analysis of Minimum Wage was one of my stronger essay for a few reasons. Mainly because it allowed me to critically think about the argument at hand by letting me analyze what exactly is going through the author’s mind. As a person, I consider myself to be over analytical at times, so in a way, I believe this appeared as a strength when it came to this type of writing. Normally, whenever someone expresses an…

Silence. I am surrounded by silence. I think to myself,"Why is everyone quiet?" Someone needs to shout—start a commotion. Yet, I have heard nothing. 47, 18, 774, and 123 are the numbers holding us back. The numbers preventing us from escaping eternal silence. Over three years ago, in the sixth grade, I began tutoring inner city students through a local non-profit organization. It was during the first year as a mentor I learned the poignancy of a stable literary foundation.The majority of the…

Reading, can also give you imperative information on the topic that you…
