Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer.

This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in

The essay I was assigned is “How To Write With Style” by Kurt Vonnegut. After reading the essay, I found that a theme that would best summarize it is “effective communication. Kurt Vonnegut writes in his essay about how one should write in order to attract the reader and effectively communicate your thoughts. His advice to writing as he calls it “How To Write With Style” provides an insight to some elements that allows the writer to effectively communicate his thoughts and be true to him or herself. Keeping it simple, Have the guts to cut, Sound like yourself, Say what you mean to say, Pity the readers are his advice to writers to become effective writers. After reading the essay, I looked at several stories and poems that shared a similar

Research types of writings at college helped me strengthen my writing skills because as I started to research on a topic, not only I learned more in depth, but also learned how to draw further connections outside of the course(class). I want to improve my writings in making correct connections and organizing ideas. Sometimes, I misunderstand the readings and end up making the wrong connections. In fact, my ideas are all over the place whenever I try to make connections, which does not clearly show that I have understood the assignment. These mistakes often led to downside of my grades. The most useful advice I received that helped me improve my writing is that “the word ‘writing’ actually means to put things together, so don’t be afraid of express your opinions in your writing your opinion.” This encourage me not to be afraid of writing and expressing my opinions.

In the process of writing, regardless of the form it takes, thesis or narrative for example, the purpose of the piece has several lenses that shape how the reader perceives the material. Of the less important lenses that shape the piece, mood, word choice, and rhetoric are only a few. These elements of the work, while minimal in a relative sense, accomplish the same as other, more important components, they influence how the reader perceives the material, how it is understood. If one is to effectively convey the message of the piece, one must first look at how the any reader perceives any text. This idea of how the reader perceives is a culmination of all the devices employed by the author. The idea is for the author to craft an aggregate

The “Myth of the Cave” is how we are blinded to everything around us and need to truly open our eyes to see what our world is like.

Writing this class is really a challenge for me.I never thought I would spend so much time writing.This is something I've never had before.However, I will turn the impossible into a possibility in this semester, and I believe I can do it.Because there is a good saying that you don't try to see how you know you can't do it.It is true that I will complete my challenge in this semester and keep moving towards my goal.In the future, my goal is to be a good salesman, and this skill is absolutely indispensable.To convince a person, you have to present your own points of interest and strong empirical evidence that you are right.Writing this class is the best way to strengthen this skill.I want to talk about how I grew up in writing and how much skill I learned.I'm going to tell you what I have encountered in writing and what challenges I have and how I overcame him.There are three challenges that I find difficult.At the beginning, the Internet quotes a strong and powerful argument to support my article with the use of grammar and paragraph architecture.

Some people can spend most of their lives in the wilderness setting up many, many traps. And it can be hard to keep track of all the traps. And some traps don’t work out how your planned. Once Albert gets stuck in his own trap after laughing Albert says, that he knows he is in a bad position but he can get out. After he says that he thinks of ways he can get out of his trap that his parents taught him. After he thinks of ways out he needs to take action. By doing that he attempts to get out using the tips his parents gave him in case of a situation exactly like that one. The theme of The Trap is that Lessons taught to you from a long time ago.

Bubba, Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day routine of life we rush right through the day. Growing up, I observed many different things. There is something about our bond that I cannot explain, which sounds so incredibly cheesy. In fact, you are probably laughing at the screen right now reading this, but we both know you know exactly what I'm talking about. Sadly, not everyone gets to have you as a big brother (well, I guess it's sad for them), You are intelligent, funny and nice. Everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting you knows that you are one of the most down-to-earth human beings to ever live. A gift from Dad, because you are so much like him and I have the best role models ever on how being a Dad. You are such a good

Organizational change in any company is difficult but for a company as large as GE such change most be extremely menacing; which is why, I am surprised I have never heard of this before! This sounds like a technique that should be taking corporate America by storm since everyone is trying to be more innovative and competitive in regards to price and quality. By creating a quick and empowering process that delivers success it sounds like cure-all to corporate fat, however the article uses a lot of adjectives to describe GE’s success with its workout routine and not a lot of numbers. Which is why I want to research this technique further and find some empirical data to back this technique. Now a potential reason for the lack of logistical backing

Writing a college-level essay can be tricky, especially if there is lack of inspiration or the ideas aren’t organized well enough to articulate into a draft. However, in the case of higher-level education; students are encouraged to stimulate their learning through writing, in order to acquire an analytical and understanding capacity to be successful in college. Coupled with planning, research, and hard work; writing essays for college becomes an easier task in a short time, resulting in the improvement of critical thoughts. In the article, Using Writing to Promote Reading to Learn in College, Hayes Christopher G, states that, “the written text allows both reader and writer to examine thoughts captured in time and recorded in words, thereby encouraging more complex thinking because constraints imposed by memory have been abolished by the written record” (Hayes 4). After all, more than any other invention, writing has transformed the human consciousness. This mastery gives society the ability to improve every day, by enhancing their personalities, considering that having a good use of language and information, will result in achieving great success. In the article: Reconsidering English Teaching for Improving Non-English Majors’ English writing Ability, Yuru Shen declares how, “it is self-evident that grammar plays a very important role in language learning, including English learning” (Shen 74).With this in mind, understanding that college level composition is important will

Once again, Marian’s English department has taught me how to do that. During grade school, I had to write essays and give reports, but I never really went beyond what the rubric wanted, especially with the essays. I had a formula that I followed on every essay, and although I always got an A, I never appreciated how important good writing was until sophomore year when we had to write our research papers. At the start of the paper, every paragraph I wrote was closer to flowery prose than academic writing, but with the help of Miss Royal, I was able to transform it into academic writing that focused on informational content rather than flowery prose-like writing. During the last two years, I have had to integrate my ability to write academically with my ability to write critically. Beyond that, my ability to communicate verbally has also been improved by the English department. Although I have always been good at public speaking and never been afraid of it, the many oral reports I have given have greatly improved my style of presentation. In particular, the quarterly book reports we did with Miss Royal enabled me to refine my style to be focused more on the meaning of the book, not just the characters and plot. The ability to write and speak well will inevitably be

As an international student, I state that I did not have enough knowledge of how the representation of an academic writing should be in my first semester. Indeed, I did not realize that there were elements for an effective and strong persuasive argument paper. In summer 2014, I took ENG 507 with Dr. Steve Wilhoit. This course gave me the right beginning to understand the writing progress. From this course, I started diving in the English Writing to accomplish a better performance.

One of the cornerstones of modern civilization is the written word. The ability to clearly convey information through text is essential for people to gain new knowledge and interact with one another, therefore, being able to write well is an essential skill. Writing an effective essay requires proper understanding of language basics, and the ability to emphasize information for a target audience. My goal for this essay is to review these techniques and critique a writing sample of my own, a biology scholarship application, to demonstrate how these following these techniques contributes to the quality of a written piece.

Though English 102 is a required course for most studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, I hoped for more than just a passing grade. As a business major, I expected to improve my writing and communication skills to better prepare myself for speeches, meetings, and group projects that I will come across during not only my college education, but my professional career as well. I realize that English is essential in my everyday life and for my college classes. English 102 helped me to recognize that it is necessary to know how to construct a well written paper that reveals a purpose to a specifically chosen audience. I have learned that to communicate adequately I must know how to support multiple academic arguments, understand that it is important to incorporate others’ ideas in my own writing, and that rethinking my own ideas, rhetorical choices, and discovering other meanings are all part of the revision process. I have chosen to revise the research essay and edit my rhetorical analysis to demonstrate that I have taken these goals into consideration and was able to provide a well written essay.

In writing it’s important to have an understanding of what you’re trying to convey for your audience in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again, analyzing one’s audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader. In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online English course. Each writing assignment
