Paper

brings this memory back to the front of my mind. Perhaps the next time I hear about the death of a young kid, who had his whole life in front of him, this memory will make its way back to the surface. If it does, I will reach for a pen and a piece of paper and…

To be honest, I’m having a hard time writing this paper. There’s a lot going on in my life, as you know, so my mind is somewhere else, but I’m going to try my best. “BIG BROTHER”, OOPS, I MEAN HITLER, IS WATCHING YOU! I read “1984” by George Orwell my senior year of high school, I didn’t really retain much of the book honestly; mainly because I was a dumb teenager and spent my class time so stoned Cheech and Chong would envy. (Lets hope I don’t get in trouble for writing this, but hey I’ll…

written more papers, letters, texts, e-mails and notes then ten people can even remember, and in all honesty only three really stick out in my memory: a four page paper on my dream vacation from ninth grade, my five page research essay from last semester, and my very first college essay also from last semester. With these three in mind I decided one was not like the others, thus my most memorable writing experience would have to be my very first college essay, a short three page paper assigned…

Through the second semester, I have learned a lot of things about writing. I didn't know anything how to write a proposal, outline, and reference and so on before this class. These skills also help me to do better. Up to now, I have finished three new projects. The project one is completely different than I have ever done. I have to complete the project according to Appeals. SOAPS was very helpful as well and it stands for Subject, Occasions, Audience, Purpose and Strategies. I have learned the…

being in this class of all classes that I would learn about life in general and what college is going to be like. I’ve done alot of reading in this class considering we did SSR at least 4 times a week or all of the writing we did we had a handful of papers to write not including the 5 pages…

genre was the “New Employee” informative writing. This assignment demonstrated my ability to communicate to you effectively about someone else. I interviewed a classmate (Christina) and wrote a few things down that she told me. I then wrote a ¾ page paper introducing Christina to a…

Last week we received two short stories on Tuesday and I noticed that I already read one of the stories in high school “Harrison Bergeron” which I am sick of analyzing because I read it in three different classes trying to take a new look/ perspective at each occasion I read it for class discussion. However, I read it again and this time I was not feeling like I could really find anything new to pique my interest I read it thinking about how a five-page story is not enough to get me thinking on…

This year I have wanted to give myself time to consider my employment options after graduation and when I sat down to write this reflective essay a constant theme reappeared; my own lack of confidence in my abilities and how this prevents me from achieving my potential. This lack of confidence was very obvious in the two situations I will focus on in this essay, the ‘Brand Me’ presentation and my search for a placement. ‘Tell me about yourself?’ This is such a hard question for me to answer, as…

One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history" of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eight grade through college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is…

I do very well in school, but sometimes it depends on the subject. I do best in math, and history, because they are the easiest to study and practice for. I have fun studying about history and learning how it has shaped our world around us. In math I like how I can apply the learning to the everyday life. I don’t do very good in science and English, they have never been my strong subjects. Sometimes, in science, I have trouble understanding why we need this information, and in english I just…
