The Pickwick Papers

out things like you can’t write like you talk. Umm ok, I am the one that is writing the paper how is it not supposed to sound like me? Or my favorite “your sentences should stand on their own”. I’m looking forward to understanding what those pointers are. If I don’t figure it out the bomb will go off. BOMB! On the other hand prewriting, drafting and rewriting are the easiest for me. Putting my ideas to paper is not a hard task. Yes, after that first sentence. Before that first sentence I am a…

1301 class was how to fix my sentence fragments. My first paper in English 1301 wasn’t very good. After it was graded I read over the markings, and saw a lot of the word “frag”. My paper consisted of many sentence fragments, or incomplete sentences. This was a very big problem for me because…

I also didn’t went to writing learning center as the professor recommended for me which was awfully careless. I had to learn the correct way to write a paper with proper grammar, spelling, and technique. Over the first few weeks I listened carefully to everything you instructed us to do. At first it was hard to get in the habit of completing papers in time to submit them but after I figured it out, everything…

Going through high school with a little amount of friends is something that will affect your life and high school experience. Something I did to keep myself busy was watching movies, more specifically Harry Potter. I know this essay is about how books changed my life, but it started with a movie. At night time I would find myself engulfed in the world that is Harry Potter. Watching the movies made me feel happy and included in something more than myself. Yet I came to an impasse, I had watched…

My observing experience at both the grove and Dale’s Ridge were similar in many ways. The fact I had read Haskell’s book didn’t make me notice anything new at Dale’s Ridge, I had focused in on the small irrelevant seeming animals and plants at both observation sites. The sites themselves were also very similar, due to the fact they were both landscapes influenced by human choices and land management strategies. The grove used to be treated like every other lawn on campus, mowed over the summer…

To the Author of the New-England Courant. I have often considered what it would be like to enter the workforce without any type of formal education and if college, or even high school for that matter, is a necessary requirement to “make it” in the world. As I sat here today writing this article, I dozed and off and began to dream about what it would be like to enter the workforce without any type of education. In my attempt to find a job, I did not know where to start. Some friend provided me…

Shingo Takatera Screenwriting and My Feature Goal I am Shingo Takatera, who majors in CTVA Screenwriting Option. The course of screenwriting option is so helpful to learn how to be a better storyteller for the motivational environment and the interactive environment. The course of screenwriting option requires all the student to take other classes such as editing, directing, and so on. I find this program is helpful for me to realize that storytelling is not only writing but also how to convey…

Throughout this semester and this class, I have learned more than I thought I ever would. I took the same freshman seminar class at UNCW back in 2013, but did not really pay attention, and now I am paying for that. There are several things that I learned about myself through this class especially how close I am to achieving my Associates degree! I also learned that I am introvert throughout various personality tests, better ways for me to manage my time, studies, and work. The career that I…

Despite the fact that I have faced challenges with the subject as of late, I would consider English to be one of my favorites. During my junior year, I was enrolled in AP English Language and Composition, and although it was the only class I did not receive an A grade in, it, without a doubt, altered how I perceive the world. English did not only improve my writing and analytical skills, but it also prepared me for life beyond my education. Being an AP class, the curriculum was designed to help…

Everyone has a belief that helps them achieve their goals. My personal belief is not giving up and always giving 100% effort. These beliefs had helped me get through some difficulties throughout my education prior to college. Some examples of when I have put my beliefs into practice is during 6th grade in english class, and in 10th grade in my chemistry class. One subject that I am weak in is in english. I was never that good in english. English class was generally boring and hard back then. By…
