What I Learned From Taking American Civilization 1700

Scrutinizing over my timed write I did on an excerpt from Becoming Educated by Barbara Jordan, I have found few strengths and many weaknesses in my writing. Rereading my paper I am horrified at my lack of warrants and word choice. Furthermore, I don't fully understand Rhetorical Strategies or rather how to identify them in a given text. Not everything was worthless in my paper, thankfully. I did use quotes from the excerpt to support my supposedly weak arguments. My weaknesses beyond any doubt over shadow my strengths in my paper.

As I write this paper, I reflect on my experience in Early American History and how my group’s final project went. Overall, the class was significantly more difficult than I first thought it would be. Going into the class I originally assumed this would be a pretty simple GEP with minimal effort required to get an A in the class. Those assumptions were dispelled fairly quickly when I arrived at the first class. The teacher was going over the syllabus for the class and explaining the weekly assignments we would have. We were required to cover certain sections of a chapter based on the topic we chose to cover throughout the entirety of the course. We were to complete this every week and discuss what we had discovered in class. We would also have to write two essays and complete several mandatory readings and podcasts. To top all of this off, we would have to complete a final project that includes another essay. But the one thing that turned out to be the hardest task of the class was not any of these assignments, but was the participation grade.

Compare and Contrast helps a lot to reader to make a two different thing clear in their point of view and Susan Cain, the author has done perfectly well with the comparison and contrast. In paragraph 9, Susan Cain has compared Shyness and introversion. “Shyness and introversion are not the same thing. Shy people fear negative judgment; introverts simply prefer quiet, minimally stimulating environment.” And on the next paragraph, the first had contrasts the shyness and introversion. “But shyness and introversion share an undervalued status in a world that prizes extroversion.” This make really clear for the reader that shyness and introversion are totally two different things. The next thing that she has compared to is Sitters and Rovers. The “rover” fish couldn't help but investigate - and were immediately caught. But the “sitter” fish stayed back, making it impossible for Professor Wilson to capture them. “In contrast, sitter children are careful and astute and tend to learn by observing instead of acting.” This compare and contrast made it clear for the reader and it make a clear difference in sitters and

Compare and contrast comes in to play at the very beginning of the essay when Tan is describing her mother listening to her giving a lecture.

As a recent high school graduate I may seem to have many more weaknesses than strengths. But, when brainstorming for ideas to write about I noticed that I had many more strengths than weaknesses, the complete opposite. My strengths allow me to stand out and allow my audience to experience my writing in a positive way. I am very persuasive and can demonstrate to others the way I believe and how I feel about a topic so they can recognize the way I view a certain topic. By being persuasive it is important to show ones opinions and

When we think about American culture today, we usually think about the 4th of July, barbecuing, Donald Trump and football.We have centered our culture around ourselves and have not given much thought about the good of our country like our founders did when they wanted to avoid a tyrannical leader. In United States history, we have changed our culture due to given circumstances and becoming the “World’s Leading Power”, that we did not have to face the struggles that the colonists had to go through. Those struggles in the 1700’s had shaped American cultures and what they valued.

It is well known that the ancient civilizations of the world shape the many different cultures in the present day. From religion to food and government, Ancient Egypt to Mesopotamia, we would not be who we are today without the ancient ways that started it from the beginning.

That civilization is Ancient Greece. Ancient Greece has spread their culture around the world by conquering empires, having great ideas, and trading with other areas. Though, to what extent has the ancient civilization influenced American Civilization? There are many cultural ideas from Classical Greece that

High Noon is a movie about a sheriff being hunted down by a murderer that he sent to jail. He was released and plans to hold up his promise of coming back to kill the sheriff.

Being released from your home to be on your own, takes some real perseverance. In Call of The Wild, Buck has to persevere when he is taken from his home and forced to become a sled dog. In contrast, my mom left her home to start her own life at college this called for perseverance.

What do a twenty-first century prisoner and a colonist have in common? They both want to be freed. In the 1700’s the colonists began to want to have more freedom.This is mostly because they wanted to have significantly less taxation. For the most part, that was their leading reason to request freedom. The colonists did not enjoy paying taxes on items that they used on a daily basis. That is why they wanted to separate from England and make their own country.

The compare and contrast essay is about the book Johnny Tremain, and the Disney movie Johnny Tremain. The movie and book are similar in some ways, but they are different in other ways, too.
