The second to last essay type we wrote this year were personal essays, which were a blend of reflection, analysis, and persuasion. The first was about A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and the second was about The Odyssey. The purpose of writing this kind of essay is to develop a thesis, which “probes” the theme of an issue or text. While writing these essays, I learned to “probe” and question the meanings of a certain issue. I also learned important techniques and lessons for integrating multiple
The purpose of this, my reflective essay, is to consider the journey I have taken to develop and create both the story research task and the story task. In the first task I was tasked to do an in-depth research on a topic that was trending or perceived as popular with a wide and varied audience. Accordingly, this would be a topic that could be seen to span a range of Social Media and established news sources. Then, in the second task, I was required to create a well-structured article based on the
To dive into this idea further, I decided it would be beneficial to get to know myself better and the desires God has placed within my heart through the completion of two personal reflection exercises. One of these two exercises required my response to the question, “If you could convince someone to pay you to do what you love, what would you be doing? What might this mean for your vocation(s)?” In answering this question, I started to wonder about my aspiration to be a chemist (currently, leaning
In this journal, I will be reflecting on my last eight weeks of this course. In this class, I was unfortunate enough to receive the opportunity to practice writing essays in APA style format. If I were to describe this class to others, I would tell them to stretch their fingers, because of the sheer volume of essays is staggering, considering the topics. If this were a marketing class, I would not sell this class to anyone, unless there was a high monetary profit for me, but morally and ethically
Writing provides an outlet for careful thought and expression. Ever since I was young, I have always been exposed to the world of reading and writing. I started of creating stories about my friends and our imaginary adventures and now I am analyzing the effects of discrimination to the American Dream. Writing allows you to go places and consider circumstances that you may not have otherwise done. For me, I had the opportunity to grow up in a house that loved the art and beauty that came from a good
I attended 15 out of 15 sessions for the duration of this semester if there are fifteen sessions. Base on the ilearn there are only 11 sessions, and the only meeting that we missed was the air quality issue from the fire in Sonoma County. In the past I have always contacted my peers to take down the necessary notes that I missed; however, I have not had to do this for this semester. I accessed the SW 41001 ilearn site on average four to five times per week. I utilized the ilearn site to track
On Friday September 22nd, I attend one of the sessions titled “Your degree is not a Pigeon Hole” conducted by Scott Mclean. To be honest, I was quite skeptical of the Faith and Arts Conference. I told myself that I would just go to have a paragraph or two to write about, but I would not be learning anything. I was greatly surprised by the presentation of Mr.Mclean. As I realized that through the simplicity of his presentation, what God was trying to tell me in my time of questioning in private was
thoughts race through my mind as I contemplate what lies ahead. Is my topic clear? Is it appropriate? What is it that I want to say? Finally the fear sets in, what lie ahead is a minefield of self-doubt and criticism, one misstep could lead to a personal catastrophe. I take each step with caution, slowly putting my thoughts on paper, exposing myself to scrutiny. The answers do not present themselves with the concrete certainty of mathematics and science, they are subjective and open to interpretation
never can be a better writer. I can improve my writing and by reading more books to overcome those problems and improve my essay. However, there are still some problems; I always cannot write a clear thesis statements. Works cited and in class writing also are also serious problems for me, because I correct it many times. The research paper it spend me a lot of time. The first essay requires me refer to Moises Velasquez-Manoff’s opinion piece, “The Meaning of ‘Despacito’ in the Age of Trump.” I used
