However, in the two years I spent learning English, I encountered many struggles within writing, and speaking English eloquently. The three times in which English has caused me most difficulty were at presenting in my AP Biology course, completing essays in my English writing class, and when I went to Macy’s in order to return my prom dress. In my AP Biology course, the professor had a meticulous method of teaching their students the material of the book. The method of the professor was to…

validity of the points made in the essay I read. Every day of the week, we, as students are glued to a form of social media at some point in the day. Social media is at our finger tips at all times, whether it is on our one-on-one computers, or checking our phones between classes. Although social media is great in many aspects, it can draw kids away or shelter them from things they should experience in life. Author and professor Sherry Turkle writes in her essay, “Growing Up Tethered” that she…

What’s in This Toothpaste is a formal essay and it is an informational essay. This essay has an explicit thesis which is “What’s in this toothpaste” (Bodanis, 10) and the urgency of toothpaste consumers to know what is in their toothpaste. In this essay the author writes about the ingredients that make up toothpaste. An effective example of diction is the very well use of scientific phrases. The author uses scientific phrases such as “a large helping of gummy molecules from seaweed Chondrus…

to change him from hating writing to loving writing. Once, he got an essay assignment from his three-year English teacher Mr.Flegle. However, he did not follow Mr.Flegle’s rules to write the essay, instead, he just wrote something he wanted to write because he wants to write about the warmth and good feeling in that time. On another day, Mr.Flegle read Baker’s essay in the class and said it is a good essay. Baker saw his essay could make his classmate laugh, and Mr.Flegle encouraged him to keep…

conversation essay, I lost focus on the fact that we were not writing the paper to our instructor but to people who cared about the conversation of our paper or have already entered the same conversation. Knowing who your audience is was very important when writing papers, because without the audience you really do not have any communication. For example, for this critical rationale essay I know that my audience is the professor of my English 101 class. Determining the text of my essay and…

Independence, or the freedom from control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others, “is the most important quality that a reader can possess.” (Woolf) Having this ability gives the reader the freedom to make their own connections or interpretations of the story. Every person will have their own unique thoughts and ideas on the book, so “nothing can be more fatal then to be guided by the preferences of others in a matter so personal.” (Woolf) This is why independence is so vital to the…

percentage of students and teachers realize that as students, you have the right to express yourselves in whatever way you’re comfortable while writing formal essays. However, I believe that if writers expect their audience to understand their essay and in return receive a respectable grade from a professor, one should be capable of writing a formal essay in Academic Standard English. Having the ability to write in Standard Academic English will not only benefit students at a collegiate level,…

After six years away from the writing process coming back and writing essays seemed like a task destined to fail. In high school my writing was, as far as I remember, excellent. I can recall receiving a writing assignment and completing it effortlessly without a single problem. However, when I entered this class that ease to completion was gone. Throughout the semester I have struggled with sentence structure and punctuation but have learned new and interesting ways to revise and correct those…

Over the past year in GSW I have learned more for me to become be better writer. This course 1120 has shown me that I have improved from the last semester. With this semester the essays have helped me with the idea of being a little more open-minded and light in my essays just so I don’t offend people when they read my work. I think that I should pass GSW 1120 for the way that I have learned and improved more than first semester or the beginning of this semester. Rhetorical Knowledge is…
