When I examined my completed ePortfolio, I saw a significant amount of growth and changes in my study habits. First of all, I noticed that my time management skills have become much improved from the beginning of the semester. For example, I used to just try to remember my daily and weekly schedules in my brain before I knew of a good way to make a schedule, and it caused me to constantly forget plans and homework or be late to them. Now that I make weekly schedules on my laptop, I do not forget…

Exploratory Essay by thinking about it in a larger context and using additional sources to serve as evidence of your claims.” So I thought I would wait until I receive my exploratory essay and use the feedback I get from my professor and then start writing my critical analysis essay.

The Kite Runner has many flaws but also strengths that make this book such an emotional and inspiring book to read. One thing I really liked about the book was how the author used a lot of literary devices which made the reading experience more fun and these devices allowed me as a reader to better understand and connect with the characters and the plot. I personally love reading books with literary devices but more specifically with symbolism. Throughout the book, the author has used a lot of…

Book Reflection on "The Leader, The Teacher & You" It has been quite a while since I had read a book other than instructional and technical manuals due to heavy work and family commitments.

This ‘inscribed reader’ is, in my opinion, the most important element for this text. The existence of such a reader depicts how effective the author’s intent was; that is the success of the author. FORM The form of a text influences the way it is interpreted to a large extent. As I had mentioned before, Whitman is considered to be…

After my first perusal, I could not understand why this book was highly regarded and appreciated. However, after having spent enough time with it to fully comprehend its meaning, I realize that symbols and their deep significance bring the novella to the unachievable level of acme of perfection. The Old Man and the Sea isn't just a book about an old man and the sea. I have noticed numerous symbols in the novella. They are exquisitely located on purpose in different parts of the story. I had…

totally agreed in a section where Downs spoke about how many believe that there are certain rules that are true in all writing situations. Most of my life, I was used to always constructing a five paragraph essay that included an introduction, three body paragraphs and a conclusion paragraph. Rhetoric suggests that shouldn’t be the case. Not all writing needs a formula, not all writing needs a warrant to prove the obvious.…

represents the process of revision as more of labor-intensive and moldable process where you are more interested in the product rather than the process of getting there. James Dickey argues, “It’s just that it takes so damn much labor to get it,” he says this while explaining exactly how his metaphor describes revision in his eyes. This shows just exactly how much work Dickey feels like you need to put in to get the “gold” at the end. Tomlinson explains that this metaphor is a moldable process…
