At the beginning of the semester it seemed like it would be easy, however I learned quickly that it wasn’t going to get easier, and while though out the semester I improved in my writing on my essays, it wasn’t without its struggles. While my grade does not reflect the struggles that this class…

I am going to fail this class and not be able to remember what I learned by the end! I’m doomed!” Luckily, I had the nicest college professor ever! Dr. VanCamp had a systematic way for assigning us essays and picking the MindTap exercises that best was best associated with what I was learning in that module. In the beginning of the…

She was hired due to her interdisciplinary model lesson that she taught during her interview that the school thought was very creative.

Although Clark was initially told she would be able…

High school students go through a lot in their four years in High School and one of these things is the many novels that they have read in their English class. These novels can span from a man finding his purpose to a man who had to kill his best friend in order to move on in his life.

All of these books…

Critical discourse analysis is a, somehow, new field in linguisticstics. Many scholars have worked on developing this new field which is really useful in people’s everyday life. Critical analysis of media discourse has been worked by Van Dijk (1988). He considered a comprehensive analysis of both the textual and structural level of media discourse and analysis at the production and comprehension level.

Military science fiction has grown up over the years. Gone are the days when a simple plot would suffice.

In the stories presented this semester, story lines varied, but there was always once central theme in each story: survival. Characters were built up to accommodate the intricate plots. Themes matured…

1. “Only this: if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer.” is a quote from the book “Zen in the Art of Writing”, located on page 4.

I had to attend class twice a week and classes were four hours long it was not physically exhausting , but it was mentally exhausting. So, as a result, I did not go to tutoring for English when I should have to have my…
