Substantive due process

One of the English department’s intended outcomes that connects closely with rhetoric is that which concerns itself with critical reading, as the focus now becomes analyzing the rhetoric in the writing of another. Out of the three essays chosen for this portfolio, the best example of this would lie in Classroom Wallflower, as that essay contains segments that explicitly focus on the critical examination of the way Perks of Being a Wallflower presents and explains a topic of our choice. In my…

Reflection text. When I applied for the English course, I did not really know what to expect. Sure, I knew it would be a lot of work to do, a lot of thoughts to think, and many new things to learn. However, I find the course interesting, and I have learned so much already. One of the main things that made me want to participate in the course is that I want to be a better English teacher. During this course, I got different kinds of inputs, and I find all of them interesting. Some of them made…

read it again and basically hope they understand what he had wrote. In contrast, there is Ernest Hemingway, trying and trying to always strive for perfection. It’s even stated that, “He was an obsessive reviser. His work is the result of a careful process of selecting only those elements essential to the story and pruning everything else away” (Hemingway’s Writing Style”). Hemingway did not just write and write as Faulkner did, but revise and revise and always wanted to find the perfect sentence…

management and risk assessment in organizations. Jung (2013) change management is a deliberate method of ensuring that changes are strictly executed in order to improve existing situations in order to attain lasting results. Sometimes the change process happens through a decision made out of the need to do so. For instance, during September 11 2001, Carlson was faced with economic challenges arising from the economic impact caused by the terrorist attack. The external influences (terrorist…

This semester has been more challenging than I actually anticipated. I have always had some trouble in English, but this semester taught me skills I have never learned before. The main focus I tried to emphasize on is writing as if it was a way of conversation, letting the reader fully understand what I am actually trying to say. During class time, we worked together in small groups which actually helped me grow as a writer and understand my flaws to perfect them in any way I needed too.…

When I first heard about taking a college English class I was a little hesitant knowing that I am not a very strong writer. I was worried that a college class would be much more fast paced and difficult than the high school classes I had become accustomed to, I was concerned with the class being online, and not having any face to face communication, and I was afraid I would not be able to keep up and I would fall far behind, however this was not the case. While I did struggle some in this class,…

When I reflect on my experience of this EH091 class, I cannot help but think that there has been a flame kindled from a spark made from the challenges laid out in the syllabus and module assignments setup for the students’ learning. I knew that I absolutely loved reading and learning but what I wasn’t prepared for was what I discovered about myself in subsequent. In the past, I had been named in my classes in high school as a gifted artist and a decent poet. However, the living of life: being a…

First Stage Frustration: What is a Critical Analysis Essay? I have never written a critical analysis essay before. I was confused what to write. Thus, I started reading a couple of critical analysis essays but most of them were analyzing someone’s work. I looked at the syllabus and it said, “This assignment asks you to expand upon the topic you introduce in your Exploratory Essay by thinking about it in a larger context and using additional sources to serve as evidence of your claims.” So I…

straightforward as the reader could easily understand what he endured. However, his story also served to illustrate how to cast the importance of religion upon others, especially children. The point being that I believe writing a memoir is a selective process in which the writer chooses to speak an event that can connect to the reader on a deeper level. I believe I was also able to achieve the same effect in my memoir as I was telling a story from life. However, my purpose was to convey the…
