Prior to this enrolling in WRTG 107, my writing skills were not awful, but they were definitely not college level. After competing this specific assignment, I’m undeniably better at drafting revising and editing as a whole. On top of this, I'm most certainly a more analytical writer, and I’m glad that this assignment is part of the First Year Writing program.
Upon reading Cadwalladr’s article for the first time, I became extremely angered at our nation as a whole. I always assumed that most Americans pulled their information from credible sources, leaving the illegitimate ones at the bottom of the feed. No matter what traditional views on internet use is, it's hard to come to terms with the idea that our elections, among other things are

However, on arrival, the faculty failed to devote adequate time and lessons directed towards strengthening these arguments, and enhancing the vocabulary around them. Luckily, I was mistaken. Our initial thoughts and words about Cadwalladers article played an integral part in this assignment. Throughout the assignment, we were tasked with completing multiple informal writings, allowing us to perfect our summarizing and analyzing skills. Initially, I always assumed that summaries were primarily made up of opinionated statements wrapped in nonsense. These sessions introduced me to a new approach at writing summaries. An approach that was great in detail and informative. After sticking to this template, I managed to receive a 98% on my first summary, and I wasn't finished there. There were several other assignments involving summary of different articles/media outlets, all of which I did unexpectedly well on. Reflecting on this process, I now realize that these intensive assignments, leading up to the final paper, have helped develop me into a better writer, specifically in summarizing different forms of literature. Alongside the many assignments based on summarizing , I was also tasked with analyzing work submitted by other students. These assignments gave me the opportunity to view documents unconventional to my
“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace. It wasn’t something I’d do, but I could see the button would make a good trade with someone inclined in that direction.
When discussing fashion women often talk about the amazing dress they picked up or the sexy peep toe heels that they just couldn’t bare to pass by, however, very often does one think of the bra and its impact on fashion history. A necessary evil in most women’s lives the “over the shoulder boulder holder” has been around since ancient times in some form or another. Before the invention of the brassiere women were suffocating in corsets that resulted in crushed rib cages and damaged reproductive organs. But in 1914, Mary Phelps Jacob changed all that by stitching together the very first bra. The rest, they say, is history.
Source 7 is an extract from Servini’s book ‘Henry VIII: The Reformation’ published in 1994 where the action of process of reforms was established to Protestant churches and many other institutions, bringing new practices in which displays Henry’s ideology and practicality that was also crucial to highlight Cromwell’s performance which is stated as “personal influence of the King”. This suggest that the King Henry strongly supported and valued Cromwell. This great respect from Henry came from his ability to carry out his responsibilities and duties in which Cardinal Wolsey had failed to achieve such as the divorce with Catherine of Aragon. Servini’s view shows his view is from the reference to the appeals such as 1533, Acts of Restraint in
At the local level, it is evident that South Sudan is a country with a significant number of its populations suffering from communicable lower respiratory infections as previously indicated (see appendix 5). On a global scale, many countries also have to deal with the problem of lower respiratory infections. Even first class economies such as Canada have to deal with the problem of lower respiratory infections. Just like South Sudan, infants, especially from the country’s low socioeconomic and disadvantaged First Nations seem to be highly affected in the Canadian context also (Banerji et al, 2016). The frequency of admission seem to fluctuate (see table3)
After the physical fitness exam, Shannon led them over to the obstacle course Maggie had been eyeing earlier. From first glance, it seemed just like any other course that she’d ever come across which wasn’t very many but still they all appeared to have the same basic layout. This one had four or five obstacles of varying difficulty and was surrounded by a foam cube pit. The pit was probably put in place to prevent cadets from injuring themselves in an accident. Their captain demonstrated how to go through the course and instructed them on the best ways to approach each challenge. This gave the trio of new operatives a glimpse of Shannon’s abilities. There was a natural grace and ease in his movements not many people possessed. His long,
As a malevolent demon of bad luck, P’lst feels as though she should ignore the little feather on a string in favor of witnessing the results of her hard work. It twitches in the corner of her vision, mocking her, and she is sorely tempted to pounce on it to ensure it understands her superiority. She must ignore it. Thankfully, the feather slides off the dining room table and out of her line of sight, leaving her alone to concentrate on her future victory. The cat continues to observe the landscape outside the window from the safety of the dining room table. She glances across towards the clock on the microwave in the conjoined kitchen.
Warm wisps of air hit my neck. The sensation is soothing- not a surprising revelation considering I moved my bed closer to the heater for that very reason. Dim light meets my eyes, my iPad's brightness settings turned down to spare my eyes in the surrounding darkness of my room. I can hear vague sounds coming from the room next door. More than likely they're being made by my cat in his efforts to catch the last few maple bugs that had found their way inside to avoid the winter chill. I scroll through a website called Quora almost mindlessly, reading answers to questions I'll likely forget minutes later.
Louis cried out throwing his head back. He gargled trying to swallow the strange liquids that filled his mouth. Finally the alpha clasped his hand over the boy's mouth forcing him to swallow. The boy fell forward resting his head on the alpha's chest. He didn’t know how much longer he could live like this. He woke up and was fucked, left alone for a bit and was fucked again. Sometimes later in the afternoon they would switch it up with a beating but usually he just ended up being tortured again. He only received one meal a day, just enough to survive. He was beginning to think Sterling just kept him alive to torture him.
They stood there for 5 minutes, so she gave them 100$ and left they all went inside to play video games Anthony and Linda were talking about what happened and Linda said they can’t kill the person with Isaiah hanging out with James because we need him to kidnap. Isaiah got up to go get his phone to call his mom because he wanted her to know he would be eating at James’s house, but as he walked into James’s room where his backpack was he a pocket knife under his pillow and guns in the closet when he found the guns he called for James. James got up and walked to his room and asked Isaiah what was wrong, so Isaiah replied why are there guns in your closet James hesitated when trying to speak, he quickly ran to his parents and said Isaiah
I could see the complete shock followed by worry on my mother’s face, as the doctor presented the results of my head scan. As a child, I was considered the accident-prone type. The words “be careful” were always shortly followed by “too late” in my vocabulary. From bruises, and cuts, to various surgeries, I became a frequent visitor to the doctor’s office. However, this doctor’s visit was different, as I received a head scan due to an accident in the shower. Sure enough, I had a concussion, my third to be exact (the other two gifted during adolescence). Though this isn’t what caused my mother’s face of worry, it was the words that came after. “You also appear to have a meningioma,” stated the doctor. These words that the doctor said almost
An inkling for my predisposition towards tasks involving intricate calculations, progressive analysis in fields of Physical Sciences and Mathematics can be traced back to my senior secondary days when I was rigorously preparing for the Joint Entrance Examinations for Engineering from 2010-2012. It is imperative to note that I draw immense inspiration from my father, an architect who indispensably enabled me to appreciate the concept of design and structure. A commendable academic record complements my research work. I secured a 10 CGPA in my Secondary Examination and was among the top 5 students of my school to have been selected for the CSIR program. In my Senior Secondary Examinations, I secured 88% (PCM-90.6%) and a 74.63 SPI in my
The second week of December has arrived which I am not looking forward to. I sit in the stall waiting for my poor, skinny cow, Daisy, to give me milk, but nothing happens. I go over to my chickens to see that two are frozen and way past dead. December is the worst month of them all, even though Christmas is soon to come, no one in our city looks forward to it because it reminds us, non wealthy people, what we don’t have. The feast is tomorrow and I barely have any food ready for it. The Administrators made an annual day in which the Producers, the deprived like my family and I, go to an annual feast, two times a month to give the food that we’ve made at our farms to give to the Collectors. The Collectors then take the amount of food
