There is one paper I selected for Standard 2, where I apply aspects of the writing process. In this paper I discuss the writing process using a metaphor. I use the process of getting rid of a hangover as a comparison, as they both require somewhat of the same steps.

Luckily for me, my parents made the decision to emigrate to America while I was only five years old. This decision allowed me to adapt to a new language while my mind was still young, and much more capable of learning it quickly. Mastering basic words and sentence structures wasn’t much of an issue, but when it came to expressing my

I liked what Klinekenborg's philosophy on writing was. He didn't like these certain guide lines that make absolutely no sense and neither do I. I've been tought that every paragraph needs 5-7 sentences and that you need a 5 paragraphs to write a paper. The first was an intro with a thesis, the second, third, and forth was body paragraphs to prove your thesis, and the fifth was the conclusion to wrap things up. My AP teacher has said numerous times that if you're body paragraphs do not prove your

Portfolio Reflection for Sophomores Overall I feel disappointed because I feel there were so many times where I could have done something better or managed my time better. I think there were some times where I would make to many excuses and would procrastinate to the very last minute. I’m reflecting back on that and seeing how much more I could have accomplished if I saw this sooner. It’s like they say the start to fixing something is admitting there is something wrong. My strengths in English were

Edward George Bulwer Lytton, an English novelist, once said, “The pen is mightier than the sword,” which means words are more powerful and effective than weapons in achieving one’s purpose. In essay writing, however, words alone are not enough. The intrinsic worth of the ideas you present in your essay would be denigrated unless these concepts are clearly stated and are easily followed. Essays have a standardized structure containing the introduction, the body, and the conclusion which assists the

----------------------------- I am good with words, I am no Shakespeare but I am good with words. I may make dozen of typos in writing but as long as I am disciplined enough to preserve through the editing I can craft good to great pieces. I chose to pursue an undergraduate in communication based on this. I had the option of going into journalism, advertising or public relations. ----------------------------- Print journalism seemed dull and electronic journalism required either a desire for the

These scrutinizing attributes we, over time, developed and toned during our discussions about our readings. Is it coincidental that reading helped us evolve our thinking processes? I think not. There are several reasons why I believe reading is important

Passion: it’s what drives the human spirit. It’s a fierce desire of determination that persists strongly through all adversity. It’s the underlying tone in every success story, and the silent background to every screaming headline. It’s more than a moment of impulse, or an insouciant word scribbled on a scrap of paper. Every hope, aspiration, and dream that a heart craves, stems from this blazing fire of passion. Goals are what makes it possible to follow these dreams. I believe that setting goals
