Writing process

Having Faith in Our Dreams Will Develop Our Grit English is my second language. I have good skills in speaking, reading, and writing. I know and memorize a reasonable amount of vocabulary, but this is the first time I heard the word GRIT. Never heard of it before. I heard it for the first time in the short video I watched, “Angela Lee Duckworth: The key to success? Grit”. Every culture has its own special ways to encourage the individual how to be a determined and not to give up when…

When looking at the visual bio assignment and the compare and contrast essay there were many parallels that I noticed. When we were first given the visual bio assignment in class you being to emphasize the importance of making the title slide an eye catcher. When doing the title slide, we had to take in consideration of color choice and word selection to really get our readers attention. When given the compare and contrast assignment, the same guidelines followed just in a different way. With…

To practice my rehearsal for my monologue I decided to present in front of three different people. The first people being my mother and my father. I asked them if I could rehearse in front of them on a Saturday morning before I have to go to work. They didn’t know what I had written or what I was going to be talking to them about. After I was done rehearsing to them, they said they knew what and who I was talking about even though they didn’t read the book or know the characters. I didn’t get…

Plato covered a lot of philosophical ground during his life. To summarize all of his ideas would require an entire book. My goal with this section is to hit on Plato’s big ideas so that a beginning student can have a good grasp of what Plato was all about, see how his philosophy continues to influence Western culture today, and, hopefully, be inspired to dig deeper into his work. The Tripartite Nature of the Soul Because so much of Plato’s philosophy grows out of his view of the nature of the…

The speaker that will be analyzed is Alex Montoya, and he is getting his Business Administration Masters at West Texas A&M University. He spoke in a conversational and informative context, which was very helpful to get all the questions answered. The method of delivery that Alex chose was impromptu. He had a PowerPoint which helped him with his speech, but he also gave plentiful and useful information that was not on the slides. The Purpose of this paper is to analyze the vocal and physical…

in the book Understanding Rhetoric called the tones as “outfits” which can be changed based on the situation. To continue of the idea of “outfits” the superhero analogy was for every event we were different outfit; same for tones. Thus, in each writing, there must be a different tone if the story was addressed to kids then it must be written…

The editing assignment was very interesting that. Our group’s goal was to make the edit as similar as possible to the original. I thought it would be the easiest way to edit, but it turned out to be much harder to do. Because of our choice, we had to constantly replay and refer to the clip and the script. I do feel like it was a shame that we did not get to use the master shot, and I think we can do a lot more if we choose to use the master shot. One of our biggest challenges was the sound.…

technical error and I had to depend on cards. The mock interview will probably be more beneficial to me than the other presentations. Even though I had a job in the past, an interview wasn’t required. Learning the process of working on a cover letter and a resume help me understand the process and effort that goes into applying a job. When it came around the monologue section, I knew that I had to work hard to memorize the speaking role. I look bacon onto my past speeches and focus what I…

desire has to be there to be able to make a career of something, no matter what you choose. To be a singing sensation, you have to be able to sing. To be a ballerina, you have to be able to dance. I excelled in English all through school. I loved writing the book reports, the essays and the assigned poetry. I even used to write short stories in a 3 ring binder that my friends would pass around in study hall. My English teacher was so impressed with my work that she used them as examples. That…
