Persuasive Essay On English 2010

Before starting English 1102 I was so excited because I knew who class I wanted to take; but, his class was full. I was a very sad cookie. Then my friend Josh told me her knew a professor that was better than the one I wanted and that I would love her class. I’m glad I trusted Josh and took this class. In my English 1102 class I evolved as a writer, experienced a lot of new things, made a few mistakes, and learned from them.

Starting this year, I thought English 102 was just going to be another general education requirement I needed to have in order to graduate. English has never been my favorite subject, so I guess it is safe to say that I was not super excited about this class. However, this class turned out to be different then I thought. It turned out to be more useful then I originally thought. English 102 was both helpful and fairly simple because of what what I learned, the effort I put in and how prepared I was.

English 1101 is the first of many Humanities courses I will take. It was not only enjoyable but provided a good building block for my future educational route.

I will use this knowledge as a stepping stone for my next English course and future essays I will

Michael Jordan once stated, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb over it, go through it, or walk around it.” This inspirational quote motivated many to overcome adversity when challenged by it. The texts, Speak by Laurie Anderson, “Third and Final Continent” by Lahiri Lahiri, and “The Art of Resilience” by Hara Marano, all have themes similar to Jordan’s quotation. All three articles support this through symbolism, foreshadowing, and character interactions. A common theme that one must stay resilient in order to overcome challenges while also staying level-headed during the positive and negatives is shown in Speak, “The Third and Final Continent,” and “The Art of Resilience.”

After completing English 1020 course, I thought I have gained so much skill in writing, reading, and researching that I didn’t need to take any other English course to gain more skills. However, English 3010 course proved me wrong. By taking English 3010 courses, I could realize that, even though I have gained many skills from English 1020 course, it wasn’t enough and I certainly needed to learn more. English 3010 was a course designed to test student’s skill on three major areas: writing, reading, and researching, and more importantly, to help students make improvements in these three areas. Based on the assignment I have completed, the improvements I have made, and by the countless help of the instructor throughout the semester, I was able to gain a lot more skill in English 3010 class on three major areas: writing, reading, and researching.

In conclusion gangs are a violent reality that people have to deal with in today's cities. What has made these groups come about? Why do some kids feel that being in a gang is an acceptable and prestigious way to live? There are many different theories to these questions. On the surface, gangs may appear to be shallow and materialistic; a result of human beings' personal wants, but there are speculations that are more profound. In reference to the way humans are influenced in society, there is valid evidence to distribute blame at negative forces of economic disadvantages, capitalism, and the media.

Upon reading the syllabus for English 10, my excitement grew for the enduring commitment of this advanced literary class. Personally, I enjoy struggling in my academic career; if assignments and reading material were always easy to comprehend, how would we learn? I am a firm believer that true learning comes from periods of struggle and critical thinking, fueling my desire to enter English 10.

Draven forgot his lines once, and when he remembered, he yelled out dramatically, “Million dollar question goes to Draven!” When he accidentally said ‘grows’ instead of ‘blows’, he shouted ‘blows’ three times while clapping horrendously loud, igniting loud laughter from the other kids. perhaps that’s how he dealt with nerves. He added a comedic aspect to the group. However, he still maintained a focus on what he was doing. He fiercely acted out his lines while still having fun and being himself.

A quote by Willa Cather says, “The end is nothing; the road is all.” This quote is stating that it is not about the destination arrived at, but that it is about the journey to get there. I do agree with this quote. Instead of only waiting for the end, enjoy and cherish the events that lead up to it.

Gay discrimination is a major problem that affects individuals all across the country. The Defense of Marriage Act needs to be repealed. First, the Defense against Marriage Act will be explained and then why it needs to be repealed, then the effects the law has on society.

From my initial impressions of the first class meeting, I felt that English 1A class will focus on reading and writing from a critical perspective. As a writer, I would be expected to not only express my ideas in graceful, or at least tolerable prose, but also focus on the overall meaning and flow of the argument. The syllabus also suggests that this course will require a fair amount of work, perhaps because there is no substitute to improving writing that does not involve a lot of practice.

Hey Mrs. Dillard its Shereen Toolabi! I hope you are doing well. I wanted to update you on my first week of college! I finally settled in Maine and I love it! It's such a different atmosphere here and I've met so many new friends! I plan on rushing for a sorority next week so I'm looking forward to that! All my classes are very easy so far, especially English. In my English class we wrote an essay about the bombing of Hiroshima and determining if it was a terrorist act or not. I received a B on my rough draft and I'm turning in my final draft next Monday. My professor was very impressed with my knowledge of writing and I have no one else to thank but you! My school is very focused on the understanding of writing the perfect college paper so

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

English 191 is a course that engages us to become critical thinkers and actively participate with our peers. This class is a precursor to English classes. The syllabus indicates that we will spend most of our time dealing with “how we think and what we know”. This lays the groundwork for critical thinking. We use how we think and what we know to make judgements, which is critical thinking. This statement alone proves that this class deals a lot with critical thinking. The syllabus goes on even further to say: “Our focus will be on critical thinking and challenging our assumptions.” English is the study of language. From my viewpoint, we must be open-minded critical thinkers in order to study English. I prefer to think of this class as a precursor to all English classes, and even arguably, all college-level courses. Secondly, this class encourages engagement between our fellow students. Part of our grade is based on participation. This means offering insight in class discussion and listening to other students. We are also required to share at least five of our in-class writings out loud. These components do not
