1. The movie begins with “Attention: The following movie is subtitled for the signing-impaired.” This is an example of Deaf humor but also what underlying message do you think they are making known by doing so?

The Author, Phillip Lopate, Introduces himself in “The Essay, An Exercise in Doubt” as an essayiest; a professional essay writer. This was an interesting discovery for me, when I think of an author I never considered that there was a market for writing essays alone. Lopate introduction alone sparked my interest. I was not sure where the essay would lead me but was aware that I would be engaged and informed.

In the article “Intertextuality and the Discourse Community” James Porter points out to the audience that there is no original piece or writing. Porter’s article addresses the concept of plagiarizing. He does not oppose that plagiarizing is wrong, rather he claims that it is inevitable. Porter argues that in all pieces of writing are intertexual. Intertexuality is the idea that all writings have traces and ideas from other past text. Intertextuality is important to completely understand a piece of writing.

My reflective thoughts on Donald Murray's "All writing is Autobiography", are easily aligned with this work as it continuously offered textual examples to the reader from fiction and non-fictional viewpoints, as to the fundamental notion that all writing is autobiography. Murray without a doubt creates an argument about the affect a person's experience shape the outcome of any work a writer may produce, in which I agree. For example, Donald Murray's poem "Black Ice" is written with an autobiographical voice, although most details did not take place-- he admits, but the poem continued to bring forth an organic rhythm of story telling without any hints of small truths while Murray injects the extra influencing details. Murray

Throughout White’s essay, it was apparent that the use of many strategies was used to persuade the reader. Among these strategies, I was able to conclude that his essay was intended to the mass majority of the population. White’s method, in his belief, is highly successful towards many teachers. He says, “ A lot of teachers actually like the five-paragraph theme as much as I do.” This statement shows us that White may have intended to stand with the bandwagon on this topic. Even though he believes that many teachers are fond of the five-paragraph theme, he also states, “I don’t know why some teachers seem to dislike it so much.” This shows us that he can present both sides of the argument, which can open many solutions to the reader.

On February 22, 2016 author John Warner published an article on Just Visiting entitled “Kill the 5-Paragraph Essay.” Warner creatively talks about how rudimentary of a structure this type of essay holds. Writers are locked inside a cage of regulations and guidelines making them unable to write the essay as they please, but rather having to piece together regulated sentences and paragraphs because that’s what they have been told would score high on certain test questions. The article targets people of all kinds, but is more directed towards early college aged students. The purpose behind this article is to get them to expand their horizon, disregard all the regulations they have been previously taught and start to write in a much more open-minded sense.

When writing a “great” essay style and tone are the most notable. Style can be defined the writer’s “voice” and it is unique to each writer. Tone can be considered the “attitude” of the

Moreover, writing about memory which is the groundwork of the traditional autobiographical genre is a problematic endeavor, since it is a project of conflating memory, imagination, and sometimes a conscious misrepresentation of the past. Likewise, it is a way to inscribe the discursive selves that they envision as “true” representations of their selfhoods.

It isn’t the overall content of the essay I wish to address; it is one sentence

What provokes a person to write about his or her life? What motivates us to read it? Moreover, do men and women tell their life story in the same way? The answers may vary depending on the person who answers the questions. However, one may suggest a reader elects to read an autobiography because there is an interest. This interest allows the reader to draw from the narrator's experience and to gain understanding from the experience. When the reader involves him/herself in the experience, the reader encounters what is known and felt by the narrator. The encounter may provide the reader an opportunity to explore a

This he performs with respect to the philosophies of history which he calls substantive or analytical-and this is fully analogous to drawing the borderline between transcendent and immanent philosophical knowledge.

We all long to write like someone else, maybe it is like authors such as Mark Twain , J.R.R Tolkien, Ernest Hemingway or Shakespeare- although I think the last one is much more like a dream than an actual aspiration-but I desire to write like Stephen King and Stephen Krashen , and even attain to imitate the manner in which they seem to analyze information, and translate such material in a form of a well-developed argument. As a consequence, it seems that the purpose of this summer assignment was accomplished , as according to Ms. Olaerts the purpose was to “give you an introduction to the kinds of reading you will see throughout the course and types of analysis that will be required of that reading.”

Another important thing is that like all the other writings, this essay cannot be digested well without getting one’s own self involved in

All writers share the aspect of depicting meaning behind written work, but the way the writer presents the meaning to the audience is what makes each writer unique. “The Time and the Machine” (1936) by Aldous Huxley was written to show readers how modern life is structured around time. Huxley shapes the essay to show readers the significance of the way tracking time has changed since its invention. “Some Thoughts on the Common Toad” (1946) by George Orwell is an essay based on a common toad rising in the spring. Orwell structures this essay in a way that brings readers’ attention to the meaning; life can be enjoyed by everyone at the cost of nothing.

Many institutions and credible literature have their own definition of what an academic essay is. The guidelines in Dartmouth College describe an essay as being similar to a newspaper editorial in the way that it has a particular writing genre, containing set rules and conventions to communicate the argument clearly. Others may view The Australian Oxford Mini Dictionary (2006, p.169) definition of “a short piece of writing on the given subject,” as a better description. Despite having many classifications they all have a common point, an academic essay is a particular idea discussed though research and discovery in a structured form. It is said by Gardner & Rolfe (2013, p.31) that French writer Michel de Montaigne is believed to be the creator of
