Although I take honors language arts classes, reading and writing is not my forte. As someone who naturally gravitates towards math, I try to find definitive answers to questions. Unfortunately, in literature there is never just one answer. The beauty of literature that appeals to a lot of people is that there is usually never a wrong answer or interpretation of a text. Anyone, including myself, can find a unique connection, symbol, or meaning in a piece of literature. The only thing that you can’t connect literature to is mathematics. A piece of writing is never as easy as x=5 or plugging in a formula to interpret a text, and though it might seem like an obvious enough statement about literature, I just recently learned this lesson. About a year ago I walked into Mr. Harbison’s classroom for the first time, completely unaware that his class was about to be the hardest, most stressful, and anxiety inducing class that I would take, I was also unaware that his class would be the most important class that I took coming into high school. Upon entering Honors Language Arts I, I had always gotten A’s in every class and on every assignment. School was a breeze and long ago I thought that I had figured out a foolproof way to succeed in language arts. My method, or rather my formula to success, was to use mild amounts of creativity, generic answers, and follow all the directions on an assignment. To be perfectly honest, I was passionate about getting good grades but I couldn’t have
Writing is an amazing way to communicate, express ideas, and convince others of how the writer is feeling. For some, writing might be a requirement, fun, relaxing, a chore. Whatever it may be, writing is influential, for the writer and the reader.
In 1 Corinthians 15:35-58, St. Paul compares the resurrection of the dead to the growth and death of the crops that man sows into the ground. He explains that there is no life without death, just like the crop is not useful to man until it is dead. We collect the product of crops such as wheat and corn once it has lived the entirety of its life. That death supplies man with life, just like the death of the body provides life for the resurrection of the soul. This is similar to the animals in the world that man has dominion over, their death provides us the nourishment for continued life.
The journey was of exactly three days. The life of a young man named Santiago was already written by his companion, the alchemist; who had informed, to a chief and the staff of a camp, that the boy could “transform himself into the wind.” These important people were so amused that they preferred to watch the whole show, like if it was a circus where the tigers and lions are disciplined for the entertainment of others. In this case, the boy was like a lion, who could perhaps show his power and impress them. Or who could, maybe, give them hours of pure performance. In that time, the future was uncertain.
four, my grandmother began teaching me the basics of reading and how to write the alphabet. The hours spent working with my grandmother influenced the love I have for literature. Although I have a passion for reading and writing, I feel this passion slowly fading with age. As I get older, I realize that reading does not seem as enjoyable as it used to be for me. Reading and writing has influenced my life in a thankful, a joyful, but also a slightly negative way.
Writing and reading for me started really young with me. I was learning to read and write before I was 2. My mom was teaching me and I had a Phonex person come to my house and would help. I was a year younger than almost everybody else in my kindergarten class. I was able to go into school younger because I scored high enough on a test I had to take. I was always reading books when I could when I was young which is why I was able to read bigger words than most kids my age could. I was able to read at a 4th grade level when I was in 1st grade. This all fell in place because my dad was always telling me to read and write when I had free time if I wanted to be better than everybody. When I was younger I always trying to be better
Writing to me has alwyas been that subject that i want to just get up and run away from. To me numbers have always and will always make more sense to me then the teqniuqe of writing a paper. My entire highschool career I despised writing as i said but reading this was very interesting to me. I never had someone show me the correct way to write especiialy in a satirical tone. That is what made this article fun and enjoyable to read. When he said not to ramble on he simply stated "i won't ramble on about that". He makes it very clear what the writer and reader is to expect when riding. One thing i learned about writing is that ever person on this planet has a way he or she writes. It may be similar but there is always something about you that
For me, this is the hard part. Starting out an essay that focuses on one topic, or something that I’m not particularly fond of. That’s one thing I really dislike about English, being limited on the topic, or being assigned a topic that you have to write specifically about. Writing is somewhat boring to me, and I don’t exactly know why, but starting it out feels almost impossible to me a lot of the time. Sometimes, writing is fun for me though. Once in a while when I write, I feel like I’m alone, everything drowns out, like smells and sounds. But when writing things, I prefer to try to challenge myself and continuously try to improve myself, the same with reading.
I remember when I was in elementary and I used to think the writing was pointless. Especially when FCAT was coming up and we had to write an essay twice a week. As I got older I know realize writing is not stupid at all. Writing is on the same level on knowing how to read correctly and fluently. I believe writing is important because it help you express who you are as a person. Another reason why I feel writing is so important it helps you communicate and think very effectively. Writing also is needed in every job in order to complete a task. Although there are much more reasons why writing is so important.
I do not think of myself as a very good writer. I feel that my writing is always scrambled, and doesn’t quite flow like it should. I do like to write however, if the subject interests me. I would much rather write about a topic that I know a lot about, and care about. If I was to write a paper about dragons, it most likely would not be written very well because I don’t care about that subject. I like to write because it is something that I think can be fun. It also is a great way to express yourself in words.
For the entirety of my life, I have been predisposed to writing papers and reading novels all in the name of a letter grade, its name being A. In fact, I have soley read and wrote in life only because it is a requirement in my education. Reading and writing is essential in everyone’s life and I am extremely blessed to have had and still have helpful, intelligent, and passionate teachers to help me through one of my weaknesses in my education and life in general.
I am a 10 grader and as days go by school keeps getting harder than my ninth grade year but for me it's interesting to enroll many new challenging things like in english we can peruse many types of writing. I had to really challenge myself on reading it was gonna be difficult but i had to overcome it why? well because reading is not my passion or hobby i don't enjoy reading unless its a 100% attractive book. For example the book i read 5 times and only was “The Fault In Our Stars” it was a good amusing book. Other challenges i had was Reading the goldfish story i didn't really understand i had to go back to it that book really confused me.
I have never viewed myself as a confident writer. When I write papers for school, I usually spend more time stressing about the paper as a whole rather than performing the actual writing. If my teacher were to ask me why I write, my reply would most likely be, “Ugh, because I have to.” But lately, I have noticed that I have spent a lot of time writing, the past few years, without the pressure of being graded. I learned that writing helps me somewhat organize my thoughts that seem to be chaotic and all over the place. I write from the deepest part of me, because I feel I have to.
Is cursive really that important? I'd like to think so, but at times goes on it appers to be headed towards extiction, like so many other seemingly timeless things. Like many things though technology is taking its place. Are we just making life easier on our selves or are we getting rid of a good thing?
In my past academic career, I have found that writing essays and papers are one of my strong points. I like writing because it allows me to write down things, and put things together that might be harder to speak then write. The most difficult thing for me about writing is having to write a paper that does not have a page limit, a topic, or relatable subject.
There are many perspectives in which one can analyze and understand why a person decides to commit a crime. Some perspectives are social learning theory, strain theory, classical and rational choice theory, deterrence theory, biological and psychological positivist theories, among others. However, for the purposes of this paper, the biological and psychological theories will be discussed.
