Skimming

Years ago, when I was a boy living in the Hopi tribe, everything was peaceful. Our village had not been invaded by white men in over 70 years and all the conflicts between tribes were resolved without bloodshed. Fall had just begun and the end of the year harvest was around the corner. My voice had been regarded as the most beautiful and soothing tune ever heard since the day I had spoken my first words. When I learned to sing my first line of music it was an event that shook my fellow villagers…

Social Media and Stereo Cards: The Captivation of Leisure Time Prior to this week, my idea of “formal research” was a quick google search and skimming a few websites. I was appalled to learn that I have much more efficient and scholarly resources at my fingertips. It helped me understand how easy it is to fall for complacency. Similarly, many people today have a complacency for social networking being well integrated into our daily routines. Many millennials would deem “old social media” as…

My essay is based on Bruna Dantas Lobato’s “Firsthand Account” which is from “The Common” issue 13. In reading the essays and fiction in both issues 12 and 13, I wasn’t looking really at the poems or photos as I am not very creative, I found little to work with.

Houston Electronics set their product at a selling price at $525 and after two years they would…

less water proof and exposing the bird’s sensitive skin to the environment. Immediate action must be taken to clean the oil from of the water to minimize the effects. The most common procedure is to contain the oil with plastic booms and then using skimming equipment to take oil off the top of the water. However, this strategy does very little to remove the oil from the ocean. Unfortunately, the fastest way to clean the oil spill is leaving it to break down and evaporate from the sun’s…

My professor always noted that my grammar is unsatisfactory. I don 't use the right tenses , my sentence structure,and punctuation are wrong. This caused my essay grade to be low. I believe it is the lack of proofreading and just skimming through it. As a college student, these concepts should be really easy for me to comprehend but it’s not. Now, when I am writing an essay, I try to proof-read carefully more than once. To improve, I ask my peers to read my essays to me , and if they’re…

After reading your Writing Plan, I believe the argument of your persuasive essay is that those suffering from anxiety and/or depression would benefit from reading fictional stories during their leisure time rather than skimming through social media sites. This would give the reader an opportunity to escape into the land of their own imagination, and to see the world through another lens.

Over the years, technology has advanced so much it has completely altered the way of life. You can research online in seconds versus going to a library and taking hours. Further into modern technology, a smartphone contains many apps; now you only have to grab your phone instead of taking a watch, calculator, a map and many other accessories. Today’s world sounds a lot easier, but generally speaking, the easy way has not always been the best way. Technology doesn’t allow us to retain enough…
