Writing An Exemplary Essay
1. Which parts of your essay do you feel most closely meet the expectations for exemplary writing
as described in the essay rubric and why?
I feel that the two strongest parts of my essay are my thesis and certain parts of my closing
paragraphs. My focus, or thesis, most closely meet the expectations because it offers significant
insight that is precise and creatively stated. It also addresses the content requirements and is fully
supported throughout the essay. I like the wording I used for the thesis, and to me it's inspirational.
Secondly, I think that certain parts of my closing are strong, particularly the lessons in perseverance
that I learned from Seth. My grammar and mechanics have fulfilled the definition of exemplary in
the essay rubric as well.
2. Which parts of your essay could use improvement, and why?
While there are many parts of my essay that could use improvement, I am only going to focus on a
couple. In paragraph four it feels as though I am rambling a bit about the details of the Domino
Project story. I do think that how the project played out is important, I just...show more content...
Specifically, when moving from paragraph five to paragraph six, besides using the word
"another" twice in a row, it seems forced, like I am jumping into the next idea. How can I clearly
transition without sounding automated? Also, the last sentence in paragraph five sounds like I
just threw it in there. Should I take it out completely or rewrite it? I don't like how the last two
sentences of my essay flow, although I really like the wording I used. How can I mix or add to
these ideas to create more flow for the ending? Another thing I can improve upon is my style or
voice. Sometimes I can sound a little sterile. How can I show more easygoing flow while retaining
the professional feel of the essay? The audience I chose is future employers so I want to sound
intelligent but not

Essay about Suicide
Someone, somewhere, commits suicide every 18 minutes. You might never be able to tell who it
will be, it could be the person sitting right next . Statistics reveal that approximately three million
youths, between 12–18, have either thought about or attempted suicide in the past year. More than 1
/3, actually succeeded.
Only in the past two decades, have depression and suicide been taken seriously. Depression is an
illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts. Depression affects the way a person eats and
sleeps, feels about themselves, and the way they think of the things around them. It comes as no
surprise to discover that adolescent depression is strongly linked to teen suicide. Adolescent suicide
is now responsible for more deaths...show more content...
Adolescence is a stressful experience for all teens. It is a time of physical and social changes
producing rapid mood swings from sadness to elation. Even an emotionally healthy teenager may
have the constant fear of not being good enough, not making the varsity team, or getting good
grades. Special situations such as a parents divorce can trigger intense sadness and feelings of
wanting to die.
People who usually experience depression, can seem fine. But there are many key signs to show that
they are depressed. Such as, change in school performance, eating habits change, constant
unhappiness, low self esteem, guilt, social isolation, inability to concentrate, irritable or angered
easily, or has a severe lost of energy.
For a teen suffering from severe depression, has feelings of worthlessness that dominates their day.
Despair is ever present and emotional pain feels like it will never end. Any situation of anger or
disappointment may cause the teen to cross the line from wanting to die, to actually trying to kill
themselves.
Many of them feel pains inside of them, that they can't describe when someone asks them how they
feel. They just know that they are sad, or angry, or upset. Many teenagers will try to communicate
their pains through

The First And Hardest Part Of Writing An Essay
The first and hardest part of writing an essay is figuring out how to start. A professor may give a
topic to be written about, but in some cases that may not happen. The first step is to pick a topic.
The topic will serve as your thesis. You want to pick a topic that you are relatively knowledgeable
about so you are not completely in the dark. By picking a topic that you know even a little about,
will take away the anxiety of not knowing where to start or what to write about. If you chose to
challenge yourself and write a paper about something you are novice about, then you want to pick
a topic that is broad enough to find enough information about. For example, if you want to write a
paper about cars, do not make cars what your paper is about, because although it is a broad topic
it is also somewhat narrow. Try to broaden your topic buy changing it to, "how cars have changed
our lives." Changing your topic to a more argumentative thesis gives you a pinpoint area to write
about and leaves the door open to give you more to write about. The second step, and what I believe
to be the most important step is locating sources to support your thesis. A researchessay without
sources becomes an opinion essay, and that is what you as the writer want to stay away from.
Sources make your essay more creditable. If your essay is about "how technology has benefited
students and teachers in the classrooms," then you should find sources that are about how
technology is used in

Reflection On My English 101 Experience
Reflecting on My English 101 Experience I used to consider writing as tumble words from your
mind, write, read it through, fix minor mistakes, and done. However, you rarely get successful. The
truth is many students, including myself, struggle with starting to write a word, or getting stuck in
the middle without knowing the main point of the writing. After completing English 101, I can
explain the writing process, evaluate the strengths of my essay, and identify my weaknesses.
Throughout English 101, I learned that the following the writing process was imperative. Before
taking this class, I use to always skip the pre–writing step considering that it is just an easy and
unnecessary step. Consequently, I struggled to figure how to start writing, and most importantly I
struggled to figure out the main point while writing the draft. And then I finish the first draft close to
the deadline that I do not have time to read it not to mention revising. It was after I started this class
that learned that pre–writing is vital, and requires time and attention as it holds the base of the
whole writing. My professor used different analogies such as blueprint for building and map for
navigation to explain the importance. It really speeded up my writing after I started to utilize it. I
have learned outlining before, but part of the pre–writing that I was fortunate enough to learning in
English 101 is the writing triangle. Even before outlining, the topic, purpose, and audience of the

Reflection About My Writing Course
At the end of this course, I feel that a lot has improved with my writing. When I first started this
course, I was struggling with a lot of writing mechanisms. One of the things was transition. I was just
writing without thinking of how to connect my thoughts. After completing numerous writing
assignments, I am fully confident with my ability to have a paper that flows. Another thing that I
struggled with was organization. Although I still have a lot of improvement to make, I think this
aspect of my writing has improved. One of the things that helped me immensely was creating an
outline before writing my paper. Another aspect of my writing that also improved has to do with
run–on sentences. I see a lot of changes in my writing and writing run–on

Creative Writing: Hurt
Hurt. It's all I see in her eyes and it takes everything in me not to feel bad for her. As I waited for
her drink I tapped my foot staring into space. Mentally trying to put everything together. I was torn
between asking her questions about what her and Jay did, or keeping my mouth shut. I didn't
understand how could someone be so relentless and cruel. Wiping the last of her most likely fake
tears she made eye contact with me.
Her eyes were red. It reminded me of the blood that dripped onto the tile. Champagne bottle.
"I'll take uh–um glass of orange juice." I nodded scribbling it down and then jamming the notepad
into my apron.
"Add, wait." I ignored her, walking toward the kitchen to hand in more order until I felt a hand on
my wrist....show more content...
Jay and I were still together, but things were still a bit hostile. I just wanted to understand why, and
how. I continued to debate with myself whether this was still worth it or not. He seemed genuine,
but so did the last thirty five times. We've been stuck for two years, stuck in this phase that Ithought
would've passed by now, but it hasn't.
Maybe I shouldn't have tried to make it work, but it's too late now– I'm attached. I start to wonder if
a friendship is worth more than a boy, but I didn't make that decision, she did. Apart from my lost
appetite I think I'm gonna be okay, I know I'm gonna be okay.
He calls me.
"Hello?"
"I got you a present."
I laugh. "Really?"
"Yeah, I think you'll like it."
I go back to my apartment and he's there. He's smiling, slightly, and I can still feel the hope that
something's there. We can pick up what's left and do it right this time.
"So you're my present?"
And he kisses me. I can't remember much after that. It's two a.m, I can't sleep, but he's here. Lying
next to me, I can feel his heartbeat. It's a good feeling, a stable feeling like after you ride a
rollercoaster and your anxiety plummets back down to normal. Everything is blurry when we're
apart, but he's finally mine.
He's all

In the past four years, I have written many papers for various classes, enjoying some and others

What I Really Learned in English 100
Well as a recent pupil of the Great McFadden I want to do all that I can to be on his good side, for he

Having taken many writing classes I have learned many things about writing. I enjoy writing and
can often write many pages about things that I am interested in. I know that I have more learning to
do about writing, and hopefully in the next couple weeks my knowledge of writing will have
expanded and my writing will have improved.
My Experience With Writing Arguments
I am unaware of any writing arguments. The only thing I can really think of is writing a research
paper with the intent to change people's minds on a certain subject. I remember researching for
weeks in the library, looking through magazine after magazine. I had searched for enough
information to write a ten–page paper. The writing process of the paper took several weeks but
when I had finished, all the hard work was worth the effort. I learned many things from that course
such as that you need to search for all the information you can because it is better to have too much
information than not enough. Also that course taught me many things about making references to
the authors of the articles I used for my paper. I remember writing out note card after note card and
keeping all the necessary information about each book or magazine. That course taught me to
become a better writer and to respect how much detail really goes into a research paper like I had
written. Other than that, I have not really had much experience in

Essay on Ludwig Wittgenstein
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) produced two commonly recognised stages of thought in 20th
century analytic philosophy, both of which are taken to be central and fundamental in their
respective periods. His early philosophy in the Tractatus Logico–Philosophicus, first published in
1921, provided new insights into relationships between the world, thought, language and the nature of
philosophy by showing the application of modern logic to metaphysics via language. His later
philosophy, mostly found in Philosophical Investigations, published posthumously in 1953,
controversially critiqued all traditional philosophy, including his own previous work. In this essay I
will explain, contrast and evaluate both stages of his philosophy, highlighting...show more content...
These facts are states of affairs which when combined make up objects. Language consists of words
organised into propositions; words get their meaning by being correlated to things and propositions
get their meaning by being correlated to facts. Words therefore correspond to objects in the world
and are related to form sentences. Thus, sentences are only meaningful if they correspond to facts in
the world. This led Wittgenstein, a religious man himself, to believe that statements of ethics,
religion, aesthetics and metaphysics are not meaningful as they are non–factual. For example, 'The
Mona Lisa is beautiful', 'Humans deserve equal rights' and 'God is our Father' aren't propositions at
all as they don't tell us anything, they are neither true or false. He acknowledges that the sentences of
the Tractatus are not meaningful either as they speak about the relationship between language and
the world rather than describing facts in the world. This view shows how Wittgenstein agreed with
Russell's theory of definite descriptions and that language has definite limits; ethics, aesthetics and
religious discourse lie beyond those limits, starting a long–running controversy.
The Tractatus had offered a picture of language as the solution to propositions, together with all the
complex propositions that can be constructed from them. On this basis, language is essentially fact
stating and

Truth Essay
Truth
The question of right and wrong has been battled over for centuries. Many conservatives still believe
that truth is absolute, while others disagree, saying that truth is relative. I believe that truth is an
individual's perception of beliefs and decisions.
For that reason, truth differentiates among individuals thorough their contrasting opinions. But, truth
is something that everyone believes to be correct. Thus, it greatly depends on what's true in the
minds of the people. On the contrary, truth that's spoken with bad intent is considered to be worse
than a lie. Hence, truth is an expression, symbol or statement that corresponds to reality and
happiness.
Truth is dominated by one's subjective thoughts and beliefs. It is a...show more content...
Nevertheless, I also consider truth to be absolute, and therefore, it is never right to do wrong. Truth
is the purity that differentiates between right and wrong. "Absolute Truth" is true regardless of what
we believe and think. Absolute truth stands on its own. In the sense, absolute truth is absolutely true
no matter what evidence there is for it. Truth is what corresponds to the facts. Truth does not change
just because we learn something about it.
Also, truth is not always good to say. If the objective of telling the truth is to hurt someone, then it is
considered to be inferior to a most terrible lie. For that reason, while speaking the truth we should
keep in mind that it doesn't hurt someone else's feelings or relations. The problem we face is that,
we feel the urge to tell the truth when we see it. But, we should try to accomplish this without
disapproving condemnations that hurt others. So when we freely express harsh judgment of another,
we are in fact talking about those negative qualities of ourselves that trouble us the most.
Likewise, care should be taken that truth that's spoken for self–satisfaction does not impair someone
else's life. Similarly, we should always bear in mind that at times lie can also be beneficial to say if,
it brings happiness to others. Hence, if the truth is spoken with the purpose of destruction of
something or someone then

Essay about Homer
Homer How can one determine a writers feelings about issues by simply reading their literature?
Often it seems, one can read more than just the words written on the page. We can read the feeling
and emotion the words represent. Homer's tone in The Odyssey shows his feelings about the past,
present, and future of Greece. He portrays Ancient Greece as being overly structured and rigid. He
shows the Golden Age he lived in as being perfectly ideal, and balanced. His view of the future
predicted chaos, slackness, and confusion. Through particular characters, objects, and settings, he
symbolizes accurately these viewpoints to the reader. Homer used people, objects, and places to
symbolize his view of the...show more content...
This stool can be understood as a symbol or anger and hurt. The past was a time Homer could
remember only as strict and overly structured. Homer also gave many representations of his time.
The Golden Age of Greece was in Homer's eyes the ideal generation. Odysseus, disguised as an
old beggar, could hardly represent this time. Yet, through this beggar's transformation into royal
looking Odysseus we can see a symbolization of past changing into an improved current period.
"For lately you were old and meanly clad; now you are like the gods who hold the open sky"
(XVI). Strong, beautiful Odysseus is a model character illustrating this time. Homer uses places such
as the Phaeacian ship to symbolize the Golden Age. "Then as the sea–borne ship drew near, running
full swiftly, the Earth Shaker drew near her too, turned her to stone and rooted her to the bottom,
forcing her under with his outspread hand, and went away" (XIII). The ship, representing
balance, was forced down. Homer knew Greece's Golden Age was coming to an end. It would be
forced down like the balanced ship. The bow of Odysseus finishes this view. "I offer you the
mighty bow of prince Odysseus" (XXI). This mighty bow completes Homer's view of the ultimate
Golden Age in which he lived. Homer foresaw the future as looking chaotic. This is portrayed
throughout

Writing is way that we can express ourselves, it is a way to interface ideas and thoughts and to
prove a point. Throughout my writing experience or process I have struggled with writing
especially using details or really expressing myself my work. In this course Facts & Fiction: Portraits
in World Art I expect to gain more knowledge on how to write a perfectessay, story, letter, and
assignment. I expect to learn new genres and rhetorical situations. I also think my writing will
improve academically and I will develop my skills in writing. Also taking my writing to a different
point of view, level, and writing something different rather than the usual. I look forward to getting
feedback from my peers and learning their thoughts on my writing and how they can help me
improve.
Reading and writing were two things my parents use to always push me to improve and work on
more often. They always told me they are the essentials of everything thing. Even though I
disliked both at a young age as I grew older I preferred writing because I can always change the
way I write and write from my point of view, really be creative with it and prove my point.
Growing up I always loved writing short stories especially scary stories. I always was creative
with them and even made them realistic. To write an essay I usually have a couple of steps
writing an outline, and the thesis a draft and finally a final draft. The most difficult part about this
is writing the thesis because the whole essay revolves the thesis because it summarizes the whole
essay. At the end of some essays, I had to use citations to do that there were many websites that
helped me cite sources such as easybib which was a really simple process. So, citing sources was
one of the easiest things about writing the essay.
Writing to a teacher is way more complex then writing to a fried or a family member. Writing to a
teacher is way more complex, I must make sure that everything is on point or it reaches the state of
protection. Which is having the right format, a great thesis and really conveying the point of the
essay. Writing to a friend or a family member is much easier I usually don't focus on grammatic
errors or writing a perfect thesis. Today some of us don't

Word-Processing Software Essay
Word–Processing Software
Technology allows our communities to move and think faster. Reflective of our society, the Internet
and related software have excelled the speed of writing too. True, the written word is at the top of
its popularity thus far in history, as the latest technologies still require words. In the twenty–first
century, people on average write more than ever before. Reading Web sites, writing emails, and
surfing the Web are all technological customs found in everyday life for those with computer access.
The last twenty years have revolutionized writing practices and to tell you the truth, I'd label the
keyboard as my writing utensil of choice.
However, advancing technologies offer problematic...show more content...
Are educators programmed in the same fashion? Do schools exist as mere training for economic
production? More important, is it peculiar the premier word–processing software for secondary
education students, academic instructors and corporate professionals is indeed the same product? I
find it hard to believe that business software fits the needs of high–school students adequately. A call
to action for teachers employed at the secondary level is essential to lobby for the creation of more
practical word–processing software, which could enhance basic writing comprehension.
Let's face it; advertising is as American as apple pie. At present, we're programmed incorrectly by
marketing campaigns to believe that SUV vehicles can champion almost any weather condition.
Jeep's trademark commercial includes the Grand Cherokee driving up a mountain. In the same
respect, via perception, students are led to believe that computer software can transform writing into
perfectly constructed essays by clicking a few commands. Grammar, spelling and text editing are
common features in any word–processing program and I've never seen a disclosure warning users
about product limitations.
Historically, word processors were developed with businesses in mind. Somehow, in a rush to
support the Clinton campaign to give a child in every school a computer, educators didn't drive a
demand

Essay My Thoughts on Writing
My Thoughts on Writing
The only thing I care about; the only thing I hope to get from this course, is some improvement in
my ability to write what I think –– explain ideas and feelings to other people. I don't give a damn
about anything else, and so far I haven't been disappointed. At the beginning of the course I was
informed that we were going to be discussing exposition, which isn't so much a kind of writing as a
purpose or attitude behind it. This purpose is to explore, unfold, or develop an idea or issue. And the
sense I've gotten from our discussion is that the attitude is one of intellectual honesty, of dedication
to learning something and reporting what's there , instead of protecting preconceived notions or
projecting agendas...show more content...
A friend of mine has already graduated from a university, and she recently went through a whole
crate of papers she wrote in the process. She told me she couldn't remember what many of them
were about; couldn't even remember writing most of them. We've talked about "themewriting"as
something written for and from a closed environment: a mini–universe apart from everyday life, with
its own abbreviated rules, in which oversimplification is acceptable. When I consider the sheer
tonnage of the stuff that's written every midquarter and finals week around here, it sure seems that
most of it is intended to, deserves to, and does head right for the wastebasket immediately when it's
of no further use in that universe: after it's recorded in the grade book. "Commitment" is a term
applied to solid exposition, and themewriting frequently lacks it.
Does anyone like to do this –– does it provide a warm, human, joyous feeling of having made
contact and saying something Important? Or do we just get comfortable doing it? Like being an
accountant: is there a real sense of joy to be found in adding up columns of figures? There may be
some people who would tell me "sure, it's fun," but I think actually they're just feeling safe in a sort
of half–sleep state which isn't exactly happy and may in fact be miserable, but at least is stable.
There may be a different kind of warmth, reserved for "a job well done," and "I might get a
promotion," and most especially: "I feel good

Essay on Writing Experience
My Writing Experiences My experiences in writing have been minimal. I have only learned the
basics of writing, like putting together sentences, forming paragraphs with sentences, and things
like that. Since I have been taking college English, I can tell my writing has improved a lot. In the
future, I hope to be able to improve tremendously at writing essays, paragraphs, research papers,
documents, and stories so that I have very little to no errors with drafting and final products. I
predict I will be a well rounded writer when I graduate from college. Writing in the past started in

no errors. All through elementary my teachers taught me...show more content...
I need to learn to quit thinking as much on what I want to write about and how to write about a topic
and just starting jotting stuff down in outline form as it comes to mind. Run–ons and fragments I
need to be able to spot and fix right away or I really need to not have any in my papers at all. My
goals are to write papers and not have to reassure myself that maybe I need to do more research or
have more data or even have to rethink my whole topic over. I would love to have the knowledge
to be a tutor someday and teach other people how to properly write papers, paragraphs, essays,
and maybe even books. To have excellent skills in writing will definitely be a great advantage in
my nursing profession. In nursing, I will have to do lots of charting on my patients. I will have to
do health presentations on various subjects such as exercising, how our society eats, and sex
education if I want to be a course instructor. Researching information on all of those topics I will
have to make sure I do an excellent job on and collect accurate information and statistics so that I
can compare to other sources. Dictating to the doctor means that I will need to write properly so
that he understands what I am saying. Other nurses will have to be able to understand what I am
talking about by my writing skills when doing shift changes. I will have to be very precise so that
other nurses will not

My Writing Journey
Writing Journey Have you ever been given an assignment where you say to yourself, "how the
heck am I going to do this?" or maybe, "what am I supposed to write about?" Well that's exactly
how I felt, thought, and did with this writing journey. Coming up with something to say about my
writing journey has been difficult. I would be bold enough to say nearly impossible. So impossible
it's like trying to get a camel through the eye of a needle. Okay that might be an exaggeration, but it
has been difficult. The idea that I have a writing journey I understand. But thinking of an event or
something that has made my writing the way it is has been difficult. So, what I've decided to do
then is to write about my writing journey writing this paper. It all started the morning of August 22,
2017. I don't remember what the weather was, or even what I had for breakfast. But I do
remember wondering how to get to the Metro Campus of Tulsa Community College or TCC for
short. I had never been there before so it was a whole new place to me. Honestly because it was a
new place I was a little worried about it. But I managed to make it there and on time to class. Class,
English 0933, or better known as Writing Foundations. It was an interesting first class session with
Dr. Dewayne Dickson. At this point I don't even remember what was taught that first time. I'm sure it
was the Syllabus. But the first thing he did was have us write about our "writing journey."
It took me a bit

Machiavelli's Ideas
More than anything else we've read this year, Machiavelli is extremely difficult for me to respond
to. I find myself agreeing with a lot of his ideas (at least I think I agree with his ideas, his writing
jumbles my head around), and most of my comments come from a place of unwarranted rage.
One complaint I have is that I think he goes back on his word a lot. The thing is, Machiavelli
shoves so much information down your throat every sentence that everything I've read kind of
melds together in a strange sort of limbo. For example, I'm fairly sure he talks about the
importance of being kind and virtuous in the first reading we did, but in the second a lot of it is
about being merciless. Maybe those were supposed to apply to different situations....show more
content...
That means that I mostly put everything in context of American history, which probably isn't
what Machiavelli would want seeing as his whole book is supposed to be on principalities.
Making a connection to some other historical event really helps me out. For example, normally I
would read the line, "...The enemy will as a matter of course burn and pillage the countryside
when he arrives..." and I would've just been really bummed out by it (Machiavelli 37). But, in
Cold War we just watched a documentary on the Vietnam War. And so, for the rest of the passage
I kept drawing parallels between whatever the hell Machiavelli was talking about and the Vietnam
War. When Machiavelli said, "So the subjects will identify themselves even more with their
prince, since now that their houses have already been burned and their lands pillaged in his
defence they will consider that there is a strong bond of obligation on his part," I got really
excited because that's exactly happened in Vietnam after the U.S. firebombed them a million times
(Machiavelli 37). It's comforting to know that Machiavelli isn't just spewing a bunch of terrible
advice and making the reader fall for it. I really like the book and the ideas so far, I just wish that
someone could put it in some kindergarten–level terminology so I could read

Essay About My English Class
I can remember seeing that I had to take an English class my first semester of college. I was
already overwhelmed with starting college, and having to write college essays made me get even
