I always viewed writing assignments in school as tedious and mundane. I felt as if I was not doing anything valuable. I did not think my writing was getting any better since I would follow a scheme of an essay and every essay written in class would look similar. Moreover, I sure that when professors graded my essay, it was just another boring paper for them. Also, I did not understand why I should have used more synonyms and more complex sentences when all of these were making it harder to get…
that could turn any face anyway from a story containing the drama between creatures with sharp teeth and pale skin, Reckoning is a sizable exception. Furthermore, It goes along with the grain of romance and drama, but pulls you in with different writing elements. The book isn’t anything close to predictable or cliche. It’s one of the best entertainment pieces about vampires to this day and age. To begin, the realism, now here me out; there is nothing realistic about vampires, but there is about…
When I first decided to take this class I wasn't really sure what to expect. One huge difference I noticed between High School and Columbus State is the self accountability. I have discovered I have a slight procrastination issue. At the start of the semester it seemed as though the first papers deadline came out of nowhere. I got better with handling my deadlines as we wrote more papers, but I still procrastinated more than I should have. When band season was in full swing I found it hard to…
If I were to teach someone how to make a good and readable document, I would teach them how to balance everything in the layout of their document. The reason, I think font style and whitespace are the most important things, is to consider when writing a document is the font style is what they see and read. Which includes the color and size of the font. The whitespace helps with the layout of the words or images that are on the document. In the article called 10 principles for Readable Web…
Conclusion What this essay seeks to achieve, at the end of all of this, is a vision of the new kind of scholarship Halpern calls on us to strive toward at the end of her essay: First, we might stop seeing our students’ growing distance from sentimental rhetoric— something I used to think of as proof of a job well-done—as an unmixed blessing. We should not let them forget or forget to value the kinds of reading practices they give up when they emulate currently dominant critical habits. In fact…
Although many of the religions in this class are ideas that I would think of as out of the ordinary and unusual, Shinto takes the cake for religions that are more of a mindset more than a religion – at least with the religions that we have covered in this class. Because I previously wrote about Shinto in my Philosophical research paper, I had a small understanding of it before we covered it in class. However, I learned a great deal more when we discussed it in class. I’ve found the country of…
for many. I, however, took a different path in life. I am an aspiring screenwriter with a background of playwriting. I caught the writing bug about twelve years ago, after a slip and fall accident. To me, writing is more than just putting some words onto a computer screen. You have to have that passion and be driven to go the next level, and that’s what I possess. Writing has become a part of who I am, and I’ve been motivated to embrace it. I look forward to this career, as I am able to express…
“The Black Sheep in flock of Royalty Attempts to Rule: Olivier’s Richard III” “The Black Sheep in flock of Royalty Attempts to Rule” was interesting to write. I had never read the play, Richard III prior to enrolling in the class. Shakespeare really fascinates me, because of the linguistically differences in our modern day English. In English 339, Dr. Clermont-Ferrand had the class look at a total of five different plays and movie adaptations (online) during the summer session. My only request…
(laughs) I am not much for the author writing in what I would call a story format. I much rather have it wrote in a matter of fact manner detailing the events of the figures life as opposed to making it into a fairy tale. This holds true for true crime novels, another favorite topic I like to…
Social Media Marketing After the English 1302 online, I have learned many new things. I can use these things for future purpose, such as writing assignment for next classes. At first, I think this class is kind of easy to pass since I have already taken the English 1301; I consider these two are the same. However, I make some mistakes, the English 1302 requires me to synthesize information which I have never done before. This is harsh for me to do since I can only get information from the…
