The Sentence

My first assignment in my first college English course, Journal #1, really expressed how naive I was in writing formal essays. My first journal began with a cliché opening sentence “Nothing worth fighting or working for is going to be easy” (Rattotti Journal 1). My last essay, “Knowledge”, began with an appropriate introduction about my suitemates little sister, foreshadowing my feelings here at Quinnipiac. I am more conscious now of how I speak through my writing. I am more conversational…

does not seem very pleasing to the reader. If Golding used the the phrase “Simon began to speak” instead, the reader wouldn't feel the same negative emotions. Whenever the novel introduces new people, places, or things, it uses long descriptive sentences. This style helps make a better image on what is going on in the novel. “The boy with the fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way to the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed…

My aim would be to assess the knowledge of the student based on the material, not necessarily whether or not he or she understands a certain word. Of course, specific vocabulary would have to be tested, but supporting words in a sentence would not be a concern of mine. Also, if an ELL student needed to have the questions read to him/her, I would do so.

the prince is strong, but not necessarily intelligent. Furthermore, this point is demonstrated when Portia continues her explanation and comments on how the prince only talks about his horse. Another example of Portia expressing disdain is the last sentence, where Portia comments on how Portia believes the prince’s mother may have had an affair with a blacksmith. Combining the metaphor and the final insult, Portia clearly conveys her dislike of the Neopolitan…

Twelve. That's what they gave him. Twelve life sentences, all to be served consecutively. They'd tried for the death penalty. But you can't put someone to death when they're criminally insane, can you? They said that he didn't know what he was doing. That he didn't even know the difference between right and wrong. So instead they just locked him up and hoped that the world would forget about him. They hoped that he'd rot in his cage till there was nothing left but a shell of the Clown Prince of…

Introduction Cognitive psychologists want to know what mechanisms move children forward from one knowledge state to a more adult-like knowledge state. There is one mechanism that has been explored, which is children’s ability to ask questions to gather the information they need to achieve a more adult-like knowledge state. Question asking has always been an important source for children to seek out information. For younger children who do not yet possess ability to ask questions verbally, they…
