Run-on sentence

Halo-Halo Taking off my shoes before going inside my home is as if I am leaving the American and westernized aspects of my life outside and walking barefoot into a pure Filipino household. “Take off your shoes before you come inside!” means “It is alright to not be American here, embrace your Filipino culture because you could not embrace it out there.” The only place where I can be a proud Filipino is in my house because once I leave that house and put on those shoes, I walk on the…

In 1986 Congress passed the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. This act established a mandatory sentence of five years for 500 grams of powder cocaine versus five grams of crack cocaine (Vagins, McCurdy). Why the same sentence for basically the same drug but vastly different quantities? The answer lies deep in a racial argument. Cocaine is more expensive and therefore sought by higher-class white individuals, while crack cocaine is cheap and utilized by the poorer class, mainly African Americans. Compile…

In retrospect, Jami inviting me into the staff meeting my first day, and introducing me to this specific group of agendas was a wise move of supervision. Not only did she allow me the opportunity to introduce myself on my terms, disclosing how much or little as I desired, but she also discreetly introduced me to a wide-variety of issues that are relevant to the field and specific to this agency. Additionally, in this meeting I began to see Jami’s supervision style to be relaxed, yet firm. She…

Overall Impression I feel that I did a good job seeing that it was my first time with this. I believe that I asked appropriate questions as well as responding to Mrs. D’s responses properly.

In the article “Teaching ‘Taco Bell’s Canon,’” James Courter argues that college students´ writing reveals that they do not read enough. Courterś diction, examples, and topic sentences create a humorous piece that criticizes the lack of reading among college students. Courter purposely imitates his students’ mistakes throughout the piece, and he incorporates several plays on words to further his point that students are unaware of their mistakes. The numerous imitations introduced at the…

Cliché is a word or sentence which is overused. For example, back in sec., meaning I will be back in short period of the time. If we think about this example, would you rather use back in sec., in business conversation, or I will be back in short period of the time? I think the answer is obvious, because business conversation should be based on professionally selected words. This kind of cliché is also a lie, because in all cases, it’s impossible to be back from anywhere in just one second. I…

She sighed softly "Yes, I'll get right on that Ms. Andrews," the strawberry petite blonde girl spoke in an almost uneasy tone. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out, well it was. Though it was also that her brother was interviewing at the company she worked for, why they would need a journalist? She didn't quite understand that, but she didn't understand a lot of things that happened there. She had learned over the last four years too not ask questions. "Also, Mr. Parkson will be returning…

Dear student, I am writing this letter to inform you that you have made a couple of errors in your essay “Athletes and their Salaries.” The format of your essay was acceptable all the way through to the conclusion. However, the reference page’s format was inacceptable since it was not indented and double spaced. The other mistake I noticed was that the reference page did not have a title. Moving away from the reference page, I clearly saw that the thesis was perfect and clear. The assignment’s…
