When I ever do have to write to professionals such as instructors, it would be…

Before taking the Course English 28, my skills regarding verbal and written communications were quite unpolished. My writing was not as much effective as needed in the daily and professional life.

Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe and “I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain” by Emily Dickinson, they both develop a central idea of madness.

Louder!” (paragraph 17). He is emphasizing that he is mad through…

Only lowercase letters with the lack of punctuations affect the tone of the poem to be free, giving the reader the feeling as if they're…
