My Struggle, My Purpose Initially, I was going to stop on my way home, but I passed this store conveniently on my way into work and it was an impulse decision to pull in, almost as if I didn’t have control as I put on my left blinker. “I’ll take the test when I get home”, I thought to myself while leaving the Walgreens parking lot. The amount of days that had passed hadn’t really registered as I was too busy in thought with my recent promotion. The elderly lady behind the counter wished me luck…

Through all of the discussions and readings our class has had, the meaning of being a DigVocMan has come to encapsulate many different things. In order to highlight the main points of being a DigVocMan, I chose what I believe are three of the most important passages that we have read. The first…

As I’ve grown and changed over the years, I enjoy looking back on the events that made me, well, me. While I believe it can be for the better, some of my experiences in school has shaped me in unimaginable ways. Thus, making me a completely different person than I could have ever expected as a kid. Granted, I would 've never imagined myself as anything other than a super famous pop star struggling to balance my secret life and personal life to have… the best of both worlds. To start…

of the paragraphs Cisneros states that she does all her writing for her dad. In the beginning, I wondered why she stated this. Why not write your stories for yourself; If she enjoys writing so much why does she care so much about what her dad thinks?

I believe she included this statement to make the readers see that she didn’t only do writing for herself, she did it to try and make her dad see…

My Bad Writing Habits Noted in Robert’s Essay No one writer is without writing mistakes, or what one may call “bad writing habits”. Reading through essays, one can wonder that even expert essay writers are not all that perfect.

a lot and for a while that was touch, however I learned to adapt to that and became a better communicator because of it. The toughest part of this internship for me was probably interviewing people. Therefore, that may be the reason why I enjoyed writing about analysis pieces rather than communicative ones. Throughout this…

Suspenseful. Thrilling. Mysterious. Those are just some of the amazing qualities of Harper Lee’s work in chapter seven. I think Harper Lee wrote chapter seven in To Kill a Mockingbird to make people think about who the Radley’s could be. After reading chapter seven, I had to think about the events that occurred during that chapter and how they would impact the characters and the rest of the book. Lee wrote the chapter to also create suspense. When I read that Jem’s pants were sewn up, I felt a…

Communication has evolved beyond what one could have imagined just in the fifty some odd years of my life. This journey from my perspective is a great example of never knowing what to expect. If the future is as exciting as the past then who knows where this might lead, we are already back to the cave man’s form of communicating with symbols.
