I think of writing as an opportunity for me to express my opinions, find out more about myself, and connect with others. To me, writing is more than just printing words onto paper; writing can inspire, move, and drive the actions and thoughts of individuals. The process behind writing varies from person to person and can be easy for some but difficult for others. For me, my writing process has been morphed and crafted into systematic procedures over the years, largely by California public school…

mornings to go to class? I never felt my writing was perfect, so would I flunk my first college English class? I was used to high school classes, so would I transition into college smoothly? Little did I know, as soon as I sat down in my tiny college desk, I was about to be relieved. My teacher, Gale, changed my entire viewpoint on English 1102 but also college.

Throughout the entirety of the speech, there are various stylistic writing elements she uses to convey her message. Although the consistent contradictions take away from Woolf’s credibility, in “Professions for Women”, her strong use rhetorical devices and most of the figurative language communicates her ideas…

When tasked with the responsibility of teaching, it is my intent to inspire interest and excitement in my students regarding the subject. However, I understand that every single student will not develop an interest in the material. Therefore, I believe my job is to engage students by providing them with skills that will enhance their academic identities, even when they have no interest in the subject. By enhancing students’ academic identities, I am providing them with skills that can be…

of false glamour to add onto that revealed in the text. The irony of the title of this book is another thing that makes it so great and out of the ordinary. Fitzgerald was a pioneer in bringing to light the flaws within the American Dream. By writing The Great Gatsby, F.

Basically, I was taught the fundamental basic of writing and the writing process (analyzing the prompt, brainstorming, rough draft- revising and editing, and final draft) using a five-paragraph format (having an introduction, three point body paragraphs, and a conclusion).
