I chose the following five assignments because I thought they showed my growth the best. At the beginning of the course, writing quickwrites in less than five minutes was a bit challenging. As time went by, I was able to write a seven sentence paragraph with supporting examples, within those five minutes. Annotating a text was always something I enjoyed doing because I love to read. I did, of course, improve my annotating by writing down more of my thoughts and by analyzing the writer’s use of…

sometimes. My second class was Fundamentals of English with Mrs. Selby which was good class taught me things I needed to refresh on since I been out of for eighteen years. This class reminded of such things as were to put commas, apsotrophes, semicolons, colons and how to use quotations. We also learned how to write different types of essays. It was sometimes overwhelming at times because I had so much going on with my kids and being a single parent alone can sometimes be stressing at times…

Day to Day Interaction: Gambling with Human Emotions? Tell “A nonverbal cue, such as a facial expression, body posture, or eye behavior, that gives away what we are thinking or feeling.” (Beebe, Beebe, and Redmond, 2014, p.206). All, or at least most, people possess a behavior that indicates how they are feeling at any given time. Having the ability to identify this behavior can significantly increase the likelihood of having a productive conversation with another person. While being able to…

Elements give meaning and depth to a topic. In poetry elements are interpreted to give the poem meaning and life.

The Waking, Theodore Roethke uses literary elements to talk about how there is not much one can do about their density so…

In the beginning when Beneatha was being described to the audience, the author defined her in such a way, “Her speech is a mixture of many things semicolon it is different from the rest of the family's insofar as education has determined her sense of English--and perhaps the Midwest rather than the South has finally--at last--one out in her inflection.” (Hansberry 496). At the time, the prejudice for…

“Blood was running down [the woman’s] dress and dripping behind her, making a trail. Her child had been shot dead as she ran for her life,” (Beah, 2007). Although graphic, traumatic events like this are common in some parts of the world and it’s the kids who witness and commit them daily. It’s natural to think that events like this should not be happening in 2015. Unfortunately, that’s not a reality. Because it is estimated that 250,000 children in 19 countries around the world are deprived of…

Equiano uses very long sentences. He opts for commas, semicolons, and colons instead of full stops, effectively trapping readers and creating an authentic depiction of the Middle Passage. Longer sentences reflect the prison of the boat and lengthen the time to reflect upon it. Without overtly stating it, Equiano…

Imagine a place where camo is abundant, racism is a daily part of life, and republicans run everything. That place is my hometown Minot, North Dakota. A small town located about 80 miles from the canadian border with land so flat I swear you can see for 40 miles. It’s filled with lots of cliche small town things, but I hate people who romanticize small towns. The locals aren’t quirky, they’re racist. The family restaurants aren’t home town cooking, mostly just a lot of chicken strip baskets. So…

It is the minds of powerful and brilliant thinkers from every era of history that have led to the world we live in today.

While he was the secretary of state, he acquired the Louisiana Territory. While he was the fourth president of the United States, he lead the country defiantly against the British during the War of 1812. While…
