Paper prototyping

It was nearly three in the morning and I was running on cold coffee, the inkling that I was on to something, and the visceral clicks of an antiquated but beloved smith-corona typewriter. Nights like these are not out of the ordinary for me, and like many of these nights go, I'm not entirely sure what I was really writing about. I know that it was probably a strange mixture of stream-of-consciousness and delirious epiphanies that wouldn’t hold up in the morning, but I was in my element. I was invigorated

Bags and bags of packages were traveling to the opposite side of the world during the summer of 2009, and it was time to get settled down again, in an unfamiliar environment. It was strange when I took my first step into this new country--a place where I have never been to before. Three weeks later, school in elementary was starting. It was awkward for me to go to school, due to the reason of me being shy and still not used to the new environment, I did not know any English at that time, and wasn’t

you get a chance to know someone or something. I took English 101 after I finished English 100 and I must say it’s a major difference with the aspect I've learned. I had a tough time in English 100 with writing since I didn't know what to write on paper even though I had numerous ideas in my head. I came a long way and practice makes perfect but in reality no one’s perfect, so now that English 101 became a part of my study, it gave me additional confidence in myself and what I'm capable of doing.

The simplicity of the ad’s approach fascinated me, as I felt the possibilities were endless in reference to what message Nike was broadcasting. Again, I had to collect wandering thoughts and record them on an outline, to provide structure for my paper. Although this assignment was not as time consuming as the previous annotated bibliography, it was more challenging to express my ideas in a way that other readers would clearly understand. During revision, I had to reword several sentences and scrutinize

Pathe and Mr. Thomson in order to get good grades for my writing and math assignments. I have been consistent about meeting with Mr. Pathe and Mr. Thomson. Therefore, I have been getting good grades for my writing assignments. Sometime, I edit the paper myself, but I always get higher grade if Mr. Pathe edits my work, so I knock on his door most of the time. However, I am still struggling with my math. Although, I have been scoring pretty high on my math homework, I tend to score low on my tests.

Mark Haddon does a good job in accurately showing that Christopher has Asperger’s syndrome. He does this by showing the readers all the symptoms that Christopher goes through with asperser’s and how he concurs his problems. If the reader was to just pick up the book and start reading somewhere they could probably figure out that Chris has Asperger’s by the way he acts. My best friend has Asperger’s syndrome and they both act a lot the same. This was another easy way I could tell he had Asperger’s

During my freshman year of high school, I registered for several clubs and instantly discovered an enthusiasm I had for literary magazine and the annual publication, the Bear Scratch. I secured a leadership position as second editor my first year and earned editor-in-chief every year since. The writers and artists entrust me with their raw and often heartfelt words or images and I have an obligation to ensure that their work is represented in a monumental way. As an editor, I’ve also been blessed

As a young child, every night before bedtime my mom would always sit down on the living room sofa with my sister and me, reading story after story, until it was really past our bedtime. We read pieces of literature like “Charlotte’s Web”, “The Little House on the Prairie”, “The BFG” and my favorite, “Junie B. Jones”. But at such a young age, I didn’t realize that my mom was reading these fictional stories to teach my sister and me important lessons and morals about life. It is very important to read

Reading is usually not my favorite thing in the world, but last year I found books that I really enjoyed, and realized why I enjoyed them. One of the books that I read was Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. The story of Billy Pilgrim really drew me into the book and I found myself just reading it for fun. I’m a pretty big history buff, and WWII is a big part of the story. This made me realize that one of the main reasons I was enjoying this novel was the historical aspect. I even enjoyed Vonnegut’s

Writing has always been a part of who I am and who I want to be. One of my first and favorite childhood memories in school was a classroom book writing project. Ever since I could write my name, I have kept a journal. In school, I always did well in English and thought I knew quiet a lot about it. However, since taking English Composition and Rhetoric this semester, I have learned that I did not know nearly as much as I thought I did. The proofreading project, which appeared to be fairly easy, proved
