I have a lot of favorite parts of the book since it was a great book. My favorite parts were when Katie starts to let down her guard and starts to tell the story to Alex about the days wherein Kevin will hit him. “The week before, he’d hit her very hard in the stomach that she spent the rest of the night vomiting. She’d fallen to the floor and he’d grabbed her by the wrist to pull her up”(Sparks,2010,p.161). There are a lot of scenes in the book where Katie suffered so much pain and I loved it when
essay I learned the most with. I had never really written a paper that was an extensive length (4+ pages) and it was my first time using MLA formatting. This essay was a great way to start because it allowed me to express my ideas and thoughts, and also allowed me to “get my feet wet” , so to speak. Throughout the time of writing this essay I realized how I had to really focus on my inner feeling and thoughts and somehow try and jot that down onto a paper. It was
because of my mother’s enthusiastic teaching, by the age of six I was reading books on the level of The Chronicles of Narnia. By the age of eight, I had read most of the books we owned, at least, those I was permitted to read at that age. As I got older, my spare time became far more limited and divided, as demands from school increased and my family grew. I did, however, focus extensively on my favorites. One of the books I most frequently read was The Lord of the Rings, and while my enthusiasm
the first book publication, the world around us has been undeniably and overwhelmingly impacted. Although the very nature of each influence may vary, the significance to the reading public cannot and will not be ignored. The content of my grandmother’s favorite book, Mutant Message Down Under, varies from my current favorite book, Divergent; but this does not discredit either works. As noted in Joseph R. Dominick’s book, entitled The Dynamics of Mass Communication, the content of books throughout
access to numerous books in the library, as well as in English classes. Even though I enjoy reading, I unfortunately do not read as much as I hope to. In fact, I do not read often at all. For the first semester of this year, I have only read one book for an independent literary analysis assignment for my English class. The last book that I read was a memoir titled Traveling Music by Neil Peart. I read this book about a month ago. It seems that I cannot find enough time out of my day to sit down and

syllabus to us. I had never read a comic book or a graphic novel much less take a class on any of them. I kept asking myself whether I was in the right class. The length of the syllabus and the course load did not help matters either, and I remember you telling us not to get intimidated by the contents of the syllabus and that once we get started, we will realize that the workload is not as heavy as it looks on paper. But even that did not help to calm my nerves, because I attempted
Back in the ever so glorious days when my books had colorful illustrations, minimal words, and happy endings, I had no trouble reading them. As the years progress, I have seen fewer pictures, more words, and tragic endings. However, a book is worth more than its words or images; sometimes I have to read in between the lines. In fact, as a reader, I have to analyze what the author is trying to explain through his or her words, not just the plot. I grew up mostly analyzing the storyline: the beginning
COMM 1015 is my favorite course this semester. This course has not only taught me the techniques to help me to listen attentively, and speak more clearly and openly with my professors, advisers, and classmates; but it has also taught me to be a better writer. There were many interesting writing assignments this semester; however, my top three writing assignments were: The Intro Letter TR, Speaker Analysis, and the Common Book Essay. Effective communication skills are crucial to my success in both
The pieces say that as a student I put the effort that I can into my work. I try my best to finish the in class writing in time and to put effort and creativeness into the creative writing pieces. Looking at my hand written work, I need to slow down and try to write more legibly because I am not showing my best handwriting in those pieces. I am proud of my Fall/Spring benchmark grades, but I can work to improve. In the process of creating I learned that there can be multiple answers and perspectives
