This is something that everyone struggles with as they routinely take pen to paper. Of course, this is all extremely subjective, but until recently my writing voice sucked.

In Homer’s The Odyssey and Collier’s “Argos”, the tone of the speaker towards Odysseus in Homer’s epic poem shows both ardency and determination while also demonstrating nostalgia and sensitivity in relation to Argos in Collier’s poem. In Homer’s original text of The Odyssey, the speaker portrays Odysseus as an extremely ardent leader. The speaker expresses this characteristic as Odysseus asks himself, “Rag of a man that I am, is this the end of me? I fear the goddess told it all too well, predicting

chose this song as my topic is because it is a popular song in America although it does contain many different cultural influences. Growing up I have been exposed to Rap, R&B, and Pop music, sometimes even a combination of all three.

Year 12 students, following the decision to undertake the Workplace Writing Application, I chose to construct six diverse workplace documents for a fictitious animal care establishment, Doggy Daycare.

I am a student at Dinuba High School and I’m writing to express my objection to human cloning.

Before I was four years old, I slowly learned English from watching television and listening American radio stations. In my elementary school, I learned the American alphabet by memorization and repetition of the sounds and signs of the American alphabet.
