The internal monologue never stopped, and neither did the laugh track; writing it down…

The beauty of how I write is abstract. Abstract is what I define as a style that does not have a constant or regular look while it varies. Writing and literature is an art within itself. We’re taught the letters of the alphabet, consonants, and vowels which is the beginning and basic art of literature. I truthfully state that our signature tells others about the characteristics we portray. Anytime I’ve had to write my signature from my young ages to signing my life away in college contracts, the…

However, when I do read, the writing must be strong and know how to tell a story without losing my focus. This semester, if I had a dollar for every time I heard the “What makes this essay a strong essay?” I’ll probably be rich now, but at the same time, I would finally have an idea of what makes for a strong essay. In my experience in this particular English course, I feel in order for any writing be considered a strong one, it must be able to tell a story without…

It, writing has allowed us, people, to send messages and ideas over lengthy periods of time to now instant messages, and both ways-lengthy and instant ones-have commonly been for sending our messages to others far and distanced from us.

and preparation for high school English began. Reading or writing outside of school, usually, comes naturally to me; there is no over thinking involved. However, at school, I could not write a single sentence without struggling and double checking it to make sure the flow was right. I suppose it was the pressure of knowing my writing was being graded that made me ensure it was “perfect.” It could also be that I was not as comfortable writing in school as I was at home.

Schools don’t teach students what matter, gaining only enough knowledge to answer multiple-choice questions. Younger Americans are typing or texting more and writing less. Unfortunately, this is…
