I hated it, but I had no choice, nobody can know how different I am. “Right class, what do you do when you see a monster,” asked Mrs. Shard in an annoying high-pitched voice that made my ears bleed. I wanted to flinch, but I couldn't for no one heard what I did. “Dispatch them,” murmured the class in a bored tone like they have heard this a hundred times before, which they had.

Many people may think that over editing is not a problem, however Elbow argues that over editing can make your writing dead and gets rid of the sound, texture, and voice of natural speech, that you get when you free write. Over editing also can deplete creativity in one’s writing and make writing better grammatically, but not story…

the passive voice. In my New Criticism essay, I would writewrote sentences such as “Firstly, connotation is used to create the negative mood of the setting.” Fortunately, I have improved my use of passive voice, which can be seen if we compare that transition sentence to one from my Discourse paper. “First off, through the use of proper nouns, the speaker shows how all wars are the same, because death comes for both sides no matter who wins.” Not only did I avoid using passive voice, but the…

body tenses with anger as I run at the black ranger, locking my blade with his. “Well well, finally getting your hands dirty, Darling? You always let the bodies drop before you take action don't you?” Dalton taunted, his smirk prominent in his voice regardless of the mask that hides it.

What does your own voice sound like when you sing or speak through the openness created by a completely full yawn? If you “really yawn” you are relaxing your muscles too much in order to produce a quality sound. You must find a balance between tense and relaxed. When I yawn while singing or speaking, my voice sounds deeper, as the vocal tract is too open, as if I am swallowing. 3) What is the pharynx and…

arrow go. He catches it and looks at me with eyes as blank as a tv screen, I knew from the second he caught the arrow that it was my former school mate, Matthew Matthews. “Matthew?” I say reassuring myself. “‘Tis I,” he says in his mid 18th century voice. I tell him how the president of the United States hired me to assassinate Edward Snowden. “How do you know where to find him?” he asks, “I don’t, that’s why I set up a plethora…
