In a marching band, the cliché “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link” manifests itself. In everything we do, we must wait on the last individual to be ready, who waits on everyone else. We assume that if we are not last, we are not slowing down the rehearsal when in reality, when you are…

Steinbeck continuously adds and builds upon the hatred the reader grows for Curley’s wife. He does this by presenting her to the reader by making her look bothersome and obnoxious when she misbehaves with the other ranch men and perpetually decides on new ways on how to playfully and coyly make conversation.

Going into this class I felt that I had a fairly good understanding of writing. However, after receiving my first paper back it became quite apparent that the skill with which I had written in high school would not be sufficient at the collegiate level. My writing was wordy and inefficient, my punctuation was riddled with errors, especially with comma placement, and my theses were weak, and with poor attention to audience. By my second paper I had drastically improved the efficiency of my words,…
