Writing process

Last week, I implemented an academic strategy from one of my five StrengthsQuest themes. I found that most of my themes provided academic strategies to keep me motivated in school. Undoubtedly, these strategies are helpful in advancing for the future, but I felt that these strategies would not drastically impact my studies in the course of a week. Nonetheless, I found a study technique in my Restorative Theme packet that seemed like it could make a monumental difference in the way I read class…

My interview starts with my dad, Michael Davis. He attended palm coast community collage off and on for 2 years. He learned information technology and creative writing while at collage.

The source of light was shone on the right side of my face, and was limited to imitate the shadows in Spencer’s self-portrait. These responses link to the artist which I am studying as they both feature the use of self-portraiture, something that was typical and common of Stanley Spencer.

semester that I have worked on. It includes my annotated bibliography, a research paper, a non-academic form, and an introduction paper. I enjoyed writing these varieties of papers because I believe that it expanded my knowledge. I liked how not every paper had to be a formal paper and some of them were more laid back than others. In most classes while writing a paper making sure everything is formal and you have enough words is a big deal, but not in this one. It made it easier for me to write…

Writing is the way people are able to communicate in many profound ways. Collective sound words to coherently project sentences is truly a skill many so effortlessly convey through writing. Many people find writing not only as a day to day necessity to communicate, but also a form of escape to freely express inner thoughts. Every individual carries a unique style and form of expressing messages. Practice and patient are key factors to constantly improving the skill of writing. Every person has…

The Pillowman was the one of the 1st full plays I have seen. Personally, theatre has always been something I just never paid much attention too until my senior year of high school.

When I arrived at the forum I began looking at the program and the first thing I noticed was the amount of people who committed their time to the production. When the play ended I compared the amount of the names in…
