Substantive due process

Rheeet... situation? What is that? I have never heard this word as I was saying it to myself while I was reading the syllabus. From my understanding, rhetoric is a way to persuade your audience. There are six elements in a rhetorical situation such as purpose, audience, genre, stance, medium, and design. All writings must have a purpose. There are four primary purposes of writings such as to persuade, to inform, to entertain and to demonstrate something. While writing your essay, you must…

At the beginning of Composition, I stated that I wanted to learn how to write a good paper for college and areas past it. I think that I have come a long way since writing that down. After writing six papers, I feel like I have become a stronger writer. I have received so much knowledge on points that I did not even think about in a paper before. I know that these skills will help me for the rest of my life. I think about a lot of different points when I write anything now, such as what words I…

As I look back on this semester, I can see myself grow in many ways through my writing. I thought this class was going to a easy credit, but in reality it was much more. This class involved a lot of hardwork and double checking everything to make sure it was correct. This class had its ups and downs, but I feel that I gained knowledge that will carry me past high school. I think that my approach to writing has changed over the course of this class. It has changed because I feel that I am a more…

The person I am today is a product of my travels, writing, and reading. Today, I pride myself on the human being I have become. There is no one word to describe who I am because I am made of many different attributes and experiences. However, the qualities I value most highly in myself, all stem from the same places. My perseverance, eloquence, ambition, wonder, and thoughtfulness all come from the same three life-changing experiences. My travels, writing, and reading have shaped me into the…

and the eight themes of science that we were supposed to do for our reading logs. Many of them have to do with biology, because the main character is a biologist, but some other parts have to do with nature and anthropology. Science as a Process Science as a process has shown in many ways throughout Annihilation. There is a biologist, who is also the main character, is used to identify certain plant and animal life and point…

The artefact I have chosen to show my achievement in this module is the lesson plan (Appendix 1) of my final teach from my micro teaching experience in this module. The reason I have chosen this artefact is because I believe throughout the semester I have really developed my skills in writing lesson plans. This lesson plan was the strongest I believe. I have chosen the lesson plan because I feel it really relates to the learning outcome; Students will engage with pupils in order to develop…

How often do we recognise ourselves in a book that we are reading? How often do we realise that we actually face the same challenges as its protagonist? This realisation happens quite frequently, especially when we stray far afield in our reading. One famous writer once said: "Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self" (Kafka). His name was Franz Kafka, and he was struggling with social anxiety, which resulted in him being an unhappy man who believed in…

Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "kitchenette building" is really impressed me, because I found myself understanding it in a different way each time I read it, sometimes pessimistically and sometimes optimistically. Brooks uses the word "kitchenette" in the title so that the reader can have a clear idea about the size of the building and the conditions of people who live there. Brooks also uses words which have connotation to help us understand the theme and the tone of the poem. The poem is about poor…

Women in Literature class granted the students an open door towards a new world of literature, teaching students the importance behind each reading, specially the importance and identification of objective correlatives which can be found in every piece discussed throughout the class. “Objective correlative” is the way to express emotions through the usage of objects or events that share the burden of sentiments. Placing an object instead of an feeling or idea can sometimes be the right way to…
