in which we read the book and the information presented throughout the book. The pros of the book and also the cons. Finally, how I felt about the book. Overall, I felt us reading the book split up was hard. I would get used to the Yagoda’s style of writing and then not have to read it again for a week or two. If it was under my control I would have liked to read all or nothing. I would also like to read all of it at the same time. I very much enjoyed the articles that were on my.wartburg. I…
violence. Volponi uses his writing to bring the reader in and show them things that really happen. In the book “black and white” it is similar to “rooftop” because of the setting. The book “black and white” takes place in a poor neighborhood. And because of the setting it really affects the story and what the characters do. And since Marcus and Eddie are in high school they get pressured into things more easily, but…
sec# 05, Project 5: Final Reflection 9th December, 2015 Finding Room in my Heart for Writing Last spring semester, I took a preparatory writing course -WRA 1004- here at MSU. When I first enrolled myself to this course (WRA 110), I expected it to be completely different than WRA 1004. I expected this course to be concentrated about scientific and technological topics, which means we will be writing/reading a lot of research papers. Nevertheless and fortunately, it was not the case. In the…
peer review. The suggestions that my peer reviewer’s (Nate and Julia) made were very helpful; these suggestions allowed me to look at my paper in a different perspective. In addition, these suggestions gave me the opportunity to enrich my writing with a different style, one that I would not have come up on my own. I made crucial corrections throughout my paper, due to suggestions that my peer reviewer’s made. If my peers did not edit my paper, I would have left out crucial information that…
The writing process is a process that fluctuates amongst students. Whether you create structured outlines or simply jot down your ideas, you do what works for you. My writing process consists of diluting the prompt to fit my understanding and to create a thorough, well organized outline. My process like others, oscillate depending on the assignment given to us. Essays that require analytical skills and an argumentative approach demand for deeper speculation. An assignment that call for skills…
The reading and writing of text has had a tremendous impact on our everyday lives, becoming an important necessity. While virtually everyone in the United States is literate, there are a wide range of attitudes towards these activities ranging from some students who see it as a required and boring inconvenience in school to successful authors who have made millions crafting well written novels. My earliest recollections of reading include my parents reading to me when I was a young child. This…
all learning styles can fit into a specific situation, there are times when a kinesthetic style is better than an aural. By becoming proficient in all learning styles, I would become flexible in all learning situations. The student should be able to shift towards the professors teaching styles in addition to exceling in their learning environment. Now, I work the best with the aural, kinesthetic, and read/write learning styles, with the weakest like being the visual learning style. By taking…
school exposed me to. In this writing I will explore Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s writing style as well as Edgar Allen Poe’s writing style and look into how these two writers are similar and how it has affected the genre. The largest similarity that I have picked up on between Edgar Allen Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the way that their characters solve problems through deductive reasoning. But how does this trait fit into the genre and each author’s style of writing? In order to show how…
Characters, as defined by Forster (2010:102), are not real people, but they become alive and interesting as good authors make them act and speak. Whereas flat character does not surprise us with their actions (Foster, 2010:102). Extraordinary masters of writing manage to create unforgettable characters (Gerrig & Allbritton, 1990:382). We meet such characters in the work of Bolt, Shakespeare and Coetzee. Bolt’s play born the existential hero of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor to King Henry…
communicating is how we are able to get our point across to one another. When writing, good communication skills are the key to keeping the reader interested in your work, and allows for the reader to grasp all of the information contained within your piece. I plan on improving my writing skills by taking all of the advice given to me by the course instructors at Bethel University, and putting it to use within my writing. Starting my writing within a word document will help me to catch some…
