Accelerated English Research Paper

I recently completed an anatomy class, and the professor posed a question to us. He said something along the lines of, "The controller of the entire body, its functions, its thoughts, its nerves, of everything, is the brain. How can we be sure all of that is true? That's simply what the brain is telling us is true." So what does it really mean to be human? Is there a correct answer, or are there wrong answers? Is everything that you personally believe correct because there is no definite answer to this perplexing question?

In the words of Samuel Adams, “It does not take a majority to prevail but rather a tireless, irate minority, keen to set brush fires in the people’s minds.” I do agree to the statement that it takes a minority to make the people realize what changes must be brought but I do not confirm to the views that it does not take a majority to prevail. According to me most process to start changes are started by a small group of people but if the group does not enjoy the support of the majority, the revolution is doomed for failure. In my opinion, it is not feasible for a minority to go against the wishes of the larger group and bring a

In my English 1010 class, I have learned to do a number of things through writing essays. I have written a Literacy Narrative, a Discourse Community Analysis, and a Writing Research essay. Firstly, I have learned to identify how an author’s purpose, audience, genre, and context determine effective writing. The purpose of the literacy narrative was to help me understand myself better as a writer (Jones 1). My teacher was the intended audience of the narrative. The genre of the narrative was non-fiction by cause of it being about my experience as a writer. The context of writing made my writing more interesting and more effective. Knowing those elements helps you to compose writing that is more effective due to you needing to know what you need to write about and who is receiving your writing. I displayed these skills by going into detail about my experiences with reading and writing through my life. As shown in the following sentence from my literacy narrative I shared how fun and exciting it was when my second-grade class received the opportunity to write a book, A Book of Future Astronauts, “Everyone in the class was truly excited to be writing our own book,” (Writing is Good).

It's funny how we have been in the same schools from elementary to high school, but it wasn't until high school when we first started talking to each other and really became friends... Or in my case became "fake friends" during our first two years of high school, that is. Crossly were hesitant to be friends in the begging but manage to continue our friendship through out high school. Anyhow, crazy how things came to be in the end, as close we have gotten and how helpful you been on bringing the best of me in school, especially when we had english class together back in freshman year in high school, believe me, if I wouldn't have chosen english nine and ten honors with you I wouldn't been as proud on my improvement in better developing my english

1- Safer sex is learning and practicing behaviors that lower the chance of contracting/transmitting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

I took AP English Language course during my junior year and-truth be told-the teacher, I took it with was probably the best and the hardest English teacher at school. He would teach beyond his English lesson plan because he believed we should learn as much as we can now and not "learn it in college later." Additionally, he would make us respond to college prompts and read brilliant works by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bertrand Russell. Of course, this took me some while to get used to, but because I'd do anything but drop out of AP so I pulled through by making sure I had my priorities straight and did the coursework I needed to do, asked questions whenever I had the slightest uncertainty, and collaborated extensively whenever I could with my classmates

If utilized properly and effectively, these techniques could exponentially help students in not only their English 101 class, but with every single other class they take from then on. Having students be able to understand topics and ideas as well as the techniques used to help decipher them is a very handy and versatile tool. In the end Beaufort concluded that “Transfer of learning cannot happen without reflection.” (Beaufort 38) Reflections are often are overlooked within classes, which is a huge mistake because they help students better grasp concepts and ideas. If reflections were incorporated earlier within a student's career especially during the critical times of freshman year English courses, there wouldn’t be problems with transfer

Reading and writing have both been high upon my totem when it comes down to which subjects entertained me throughout public school. I've participated in the UIL Feature Writing Contest/Competition on one occasion, I did not manage to place in the event, however I received an honorable mention due to certain unexpected twists. With regard to high school projects and research papers that I've been forced to complete in my twelve years of servitude in the public schooling system I have only done less than exemplary once, this was mostly due to my tendency to be stubborn and opinionated, rather than an incapacity to turn out a pleasantly worded discourse on the topic of abortion.

Today as a reader I think I am standing in a good spot as choosing what book to read. My reading level and pace is usually 20-30 pages each 30 min I read plus the time I read at home. As I am getting older I notice that books and reading are getting a little more challenging than in the elementary school. From the information from my journal entries and reading I think I need to work on paying attention to the main part of the story and not space of and for my journal I want to get a 4 on everyone of my journals so I will become a better reader in the future.

I chose to take English as a high level class since I’ve always loved the language and I strongly believe that being able to converse in English can get you further in life. It is quite difficult to find a person who has zero abilities when it comes to the English language, and therefore you can connect easier across borders, even when it comes to other people who does not have English as their mother tongue, since they will most likely also have learnt the language. I also happen to be a person who is fairly active on several social media sites, especially the sites Tumblr and Twitter. If I haven’t had any English abilities I wouldn’t be able to use these sites as frequently as I do, which I consider a shame since I’ve

In the book Things Fall Apart, the author Chinua Achebe gives the reader a privileged insight into the life of the Ibo civilization. Morals and beliefs of the Ibo people were major factors that were pointed throughout the book in many ways. The Ibo civilization is very rich in tradition, culture, and religion before the missionaries came to convert them to Christianity. The missionaries overlooked these features, and compared them as savages. They say “live your beliefs and you can turn the world around” (Henry Thoreau), but what happens when the world has slowly turned around you? The missionaries tried and made everything in their power to a more European life-style around their

C. S. Lewis once said “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”, which is extremely similar to my personal outlook. Novels have given me an extensive amount of rewards over the years. The knowledge reading has given me has been extensive; additionally, literature has been nothing but a boon to me. I have always considered myself a rather advanced reader, and having the skill of advanced comprehension while reading has been an extremely useful tool that I continue to utilize. As I write, I use the countless hours of experience reading to create an insightful and logical paper. For as long as I have been able to read, I can always remember being much more enamored with what I would find in the library or at home much more so than that of what was given to us during class. Books from class would simply make me want to fall asleep, meanwhile the books I would find for myself would create a door into another world unlike any that I had seen. Due to books giving me a friend, gifting me with an improved attention to detail, and a superior (and sometimes odd) vocabulary, reading has improved my life by a large margin.

This was not my specialty, because I would get caught up in increasing the page number I was on, instead of reading the words that so happened to be forming a story. I realized my fun adventures decreased and my bookshelf somehow had a lot of extra space. I became focused on my grade in school, and that's when reading became a bore for me. Although reading became more about the grades, I still found myself, at times, captured by the stories within the pages. I was particularly interested in “The Great Gatsby.” My mind wandered straight to Long Island. I experienced the story as though I lived in West Egg next to Gatsby. I was able to understand and focus on this book because it reminded me of my creativity and imagination. I explored this book, coming up with my own view of the 1925 houses and apparel the characters wore. Another book I like is “A Stolen Life,” because it is a story about an eleven year old girl who was abducted and found eighteen years later. This book really impacted me and touched my heart. Not only did it educate me and teach me a lesson in awareness, but it served as a loving gift from my mom, who wanted to open my eyes to life’s possible dangers, and keep me safe. I believe books become more interesting when you are able to apply them to your life, or sometimes imagine yourself in the shoes of the characters.

One of the fundamental ideas of linguistics is that all languages undergo some sort of change. It might be surprising at first to know that language changes, it was especially to me because I’ve never looked at language in that particular perspective. Although all language changes, they change at particular rates, whether it takes a thousand years or a couple hundred, and in different ways, whether it is grammatically or phonologically. However, it’s important to note that language change is definitely not a bad thing. It usually seems like the older generation grumbles about the younger generation’s poor English, but there is indeed nothing bad about any form of language. It is something that happens due to a variety of factors, but a common question from a person who has no background in linguistics is “Why can’t they just speak with correct English?” However, after learning and researching more about linguistics, that statement is extremely absurd. There isn’t a correct English. The English that people think is correct is the dialect with the most power, which is Standard English. There is nothing that is sloppy or lazy about a way that a person speaks because language will never stop changing. English is always a work in progress!

Classic literature is said to be one of the hardest, and it truly is. This is because of the different text, words were different in certain time periods. This made me struggle with diction and it brought back my fear of not being able to read without needing help. Being able to read something in a different genre then what I’m used to reading is amazing. It opened my eyes and made me a better reader, made me overcome yet another part of my struggle. Being able to get through that hard of a text makes your ability
