Essay 1: Memoir Length: 2-3 pages double-spaced ONLY! Do not exceed. Format: MLA format, Times New Roman, Size 12, 1-inch margins Who we are is shaped by a variety of factors, and one way to understand ourselves is to reflect on our past experiences and consider how they impact the present. A memoir gives you a chance to create a written snapshot of specific moments in your life, and to make meaning from them in a way that appeals to readers. You will rely on your memory and personal experience as the source of ideas. Sensory detail, description, dialogue, narration, and organization will translate your memories into an interesting and cohesive story for the reader. For this essay, you will write about an event in your life that shaped your individual identity. It could be something that happened to you or that you observed, an encounter with a person who greatly influenced you, a decision that you made, or a challenge or obstacle that you faced, etc. “Identity” normally encompasses what we believe, how we act, who we are, how we see the world, how we define our purpose—and it could be related to various aspects of our life (ethnicity/culture, traditions/ rituals, talents/ interests, family, religion, education, personality). Audience & Purpose: Think of your audience as others who will understand you a bit better after reading your memoir. If you are too inward-focused, then your memoir will seem like a diary entry; therefore, you want to keep your audience interested and make your story worth reading. Don’t just talk about identity or the topic, and don’t just tell us what you thought. Make the reader feel that he or she is re-living the experience(s) with you—focus on one specific moment or a couple of moments in time and what they reveal.

Literacy Narrative Assignment: Your Story About a Discourse/Community
A Literacy Narrative is an autobiographical story about your experience/s with literacy, language, and communication. Tell a story about struggling with or feeling empowered by learning how to communicate/become literate in a particular discourse community. Your goal here is to narrate a story that describes vividly your experiences with a particular literacy and to reflect on why and how your experiences were significant. Think of this assignment as a combination of creative storytelling and honest reflection about how a discourse community’s way of communicating has shaped your identity in some important way. I like to tell students to think about a time they were transformed or deeply affected by learning the rules of communication in a particular community.
James Gee explains that “Discourses are ways of being in the world, or forms of life which integrate words, acts, values, beliefs, attitudes, social identities, as well as gestures, glances, body positions and clothes. A Discourse is a sort of 'identity kit' which comes complete with the appropriate costume and instructions on how to act, talk, and often write, so as to take on a particular social role that others will recognize.” This means “literacy” isn’t about just reading and writing, but learning about how to work in and contribute to a community.
The purpose of this assignment is to (continue to) reflect on some aspect of your history as a writer/reader/language user and how language has shaped your identity, values, beliefs, behavior, or worldview. Your story needs to have a point, a lesson, a “So What?” Was there a lesson learned? What did you learn as you succeeded or failed at the literacy you attempted? How is your story unique (or not unique)? How have you been shaped by a particular language practice?
And again, as usual, we will discuss and explore the parameters of this assignment. This genre of writing is more creative, using concrete detail, narration, and story telling.
You may pick one specific event you can chronicle a literacy history chronologically, or you can write about several events though one uniting theme.
You are encouraged to narrate experiences that take place inside or outside of educational settings. You learn many discourses in your life, all of which shape you important ways. We become literate in many different discourses and communities throughout our lives-- personal, vocational, educational, spiritual, extra curricular, and more.

Composition Project 1Project 1 Literary AnalysisTask Write a l.docx
Composition Project 1
Project 1: Literary Analysis
Task: Write a literary analysis of one of the short stories we read in this course. Briefly describe the story,
and what you think are the essential literary elements to understanding the story.
Audience and purpose: Your objective is to use evidence to support your analysis of the short story.
Your audience is your classmates and instructor as well as a larger audience who has not read the short story
before.
Research and evidence: You need only draw from the texts that you have read for this project. However,
in order to illustrate your theme, you may also use outside sources.
Steps toward success:
1) Read your short story in-depth. (This will require multiple readings of the text.)
2) Take notes and annotate the story.
3) Take advantage of the process. Carefully consider all revision comments you receive from your peers
and instructor, and make significant revisions.
4) Avoid simply summarizing the plot of the short story. Remember that this class focuses on your
analytical writing skills, not on retelling the story.
4) Checklist:
Length: 900 to 1200 words
Sources: For this project, you need only refer to the literature on which you are working. Be sure
to cite both the evidence from the text and any outside sources you use.
Include a Works Cited page using MLA style.
Literary Analysis: Using Elements of Literature
Students are asked to write literary analysis essays because this type of assignment encourages you to think about
how and why
a poem, short story, novel, or play was written.
·
To successfully analyze literature, you’ll need to remember that authors make specific choices for particular reasons. Your essay should point out the author’s choices and attempt to explain their significance.
·
Another way to look at a literary analysis is to consider a piece of literature from your own perspective. Rather than thinking about the author’s intentions, you can develop an argument based on any single term (or combination of terms) listed below.
You’ll need to use the original text as evidence to defend and explain your argument to the reader.
Character -
representation of a person, place, or thing performing traditionally human activities or functions in a work of fiction
·
Protagonist
- The character the story revolves around.
·
Antagonist
- A character or force that opposes the protagonist.
·
Minor character
- Often provides support and illuminates the protagonist.
·
Static character
- A character that remains the same.
·
Dynamic character
- A character that changes in some important way.
·
Characterization
- The choices an author makes to reveal a character’s personality, such as appearance, actions, dialogue, and motivations.
Look for: Connections, links, and clues between and about characters. Ask yourself what the function and significance of each character is. Make this determination based upon the character's history, what the reader is told (and .
Personal writing power point
This document provides instruction and content for an ENG 111 Expository Writing course on personal essays. It includes prompts for an opening writing assignment, objectives for the lesson, definitions and characteristics of personal writing and essays, examples of personal essay topics, and guidance on developing descriptive writing. The key points are: personal essays are nonfiction pieces that contain the writer's subjective response and use the first person; they tell a story and convey a larger truth through vivid details and figurative language; and good descriptive writing appeals to all senses to help readers visualize the subject.
The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argum.docx
The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argument by telling a story from your own life. In this paper, that argument should relate to how you “came of age”. In other words, you should write a story about a personal experience you went through at some point, and show how that experience helped you change, in some way, into who you are today. Examples of significant experiences you could write about include (but certainly are not limited to):
A rite of passage for a culture or group you are a part of
A favorite experience growing up
A horrible experience growing up
A major change in your life
An ethical dilemma
Someone or something that influenced you
A challenge you overcame
An initiation that impacted your identity
Things to consider:
Time: do not try to write about a great expanse of time. Frame the narrative into a small period of time.
Belief: Do not be afraid to create information where gaps exist in memory.
Details: readers like to be informed about things they have not experienced: use action, language, emotion, facts, and figurative language.
Construct a story: with a beginning, middle, and an end. This is a straight chronology. Or, use other formulas, such as starting at the end and working backwards in time. The epic formula, for instance, begins in the middle, goes into the past, and then forward to the end.
Narrative writing includes description: concrete details bring the story to life.
Stories offer some type of point: a value claim (an implicit thesis in personal narratives) about human experience. Ask yourself “so what?”

Introlit analysis-1217252303491728-9
The document provides guidance on how to analyze works of literature by examining key elements like plot, characters, setting, point of view, themes and rhetorical devices. It advises the reader to carefully read the work multiple times, ask questions, annotate, and identify patterns to determine both the literal and figurative meaning.

Write an observation essay that explains the unique significance.docx
Write an
observation essay
that explains the unique significance of a particular person or place within a larger community. Describe the person or place through vivid description, narration, dialogue and sensory details. Help others outside of your community understand why the person or place is important to the community.
Assignment
Observation
, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to "study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way" (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also "find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject" (93).
Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to
convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject "fits" within the community's priorities and values
. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.
*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time.
In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:
Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration.
Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer
insight
into why this person or place has unique
significance
as an important part of the community.
Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should .
Ch 1 Speech Communication powerpoint.ppt
This document discusses several key aspects of communication and meaning. It explains that meaning depends on context, including the situation and accompanying behaviors. Meaning exists in the heads of individuals and can change with experience or differ between people. Misunderstandings are unavoidable but can be anticipated. Effective communication requires understanding the audience, their perspectives, and the relationship between speakers and listeners.
Lit1
This document discusses different approaches to literary criticism including reader-response, Marxism, feminism, queer theory, formalism, historical-biographical, and deconstruction. It also outlines standards for evaluating literature such as artistry, intellectual value, suggestiveness, spiritual value, permanence, universality, and style. Critical approaches examine elements like social classes, gender representations, inherent textual features, author's life, and conflicting meanings. Literary standards assess qualities like how well elements work together to convey meaning, intellectual stimulation, emotional appeal, moral influence, lasting relevance, broad appeal, and original style.
TOPIC 2 Lecture 2-CHILDREN’S LITERATURE & DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITIES (1).pptx
The document discusses how reading literature can promote personal and academic development in children. It describes reader response theory, which sees reading as a transaction between the reader and text, with the reader drawing on their own experiences to interpret the text. Reading literature can lead to improved understanding of self and society, help shape personality as children interact with texts, and promote empathy, moral reasoning, imagination, and interpersonal skills. It can also boost reading comprehension, vocabulary, and cognitive skills like reasoning.

Important notes:
# If you are NOT able to diliver an A paper ON TIME, please do NOT ask to do this.

# I have done step 1 already (
Short Description of Topic). see attachment.
# I will need a picture of the hero that best describe why we chose him or why is he a hero on our eyes.
Research Topic: Contemplating a Hero for the Age(s)
As our course materials make clear, ideas/images of heroes or heroic figures are pervasive and seem to have both universal and unique (cultural, temporal, geographic, etc.) characteristics and meanings. For your research paper, I would like you to focus on one specific character or individual who has been, or arguably could be, proclaimed a heroic (or at least celebrated) figure. The “hero” you choose may be most frequently encountered in oral tradition (myth, folktale, legend, personal experience narratives, etc.), print (classical mythology, novels, children’s literature, written history, comic books, etc.) or visual/multi-media formats (art works, film, television, Internet, etc.). In all likelihood, crucial understandings (current or past) of any particular hero/celebrity will be found in multiple forms of communication and representation. For example, how many different ways can one come to “know” Hercules, George Washington, or Luke Skywalker?
Questions to Ask/Issues to Address (not exhaustive by any means)
:
Who is the figure in question? In what contexts (cultural, social, historical, etc.) is s/he or it situated and made meaningful? Whose hero/celebrity is s/he or it?
What types of communication/media are central to understandings of the figure? How are the background, actions, and implications of the hero/celebrity disseminated?
What exactly are his/her/its heroic/celebrated characteristics? How are these similar to and different from various hero patterns covered in class? What might account for continuities and dissimilarities?
Why is this hero/celebrity important? What are the critical issues, circumstances or dilemmas that make his/her/its actions crucial? What difference does this figure supposedly make in the world? And why?
What forces seem to control the fate and actions of the hero (divine, natural, scientific, emotional, etc.)? How does this predicament tie into the worldview of those who create/narrate the hero?
What does the nature of this hero/celebrity seem to say about the inner life of the groups/individuals who admire him/her/it and are enthralled by tales of his/her/its exploits? In other words, what are the broader psychological/emotional implications of the hero/celebrity in question?
Ultimately, why do heroes/celebrities matter?
Project Development Step #1
: Short Description of Topic
The first step in the development of your research is the drafting of a project/paper description (1-2 pages) in which you clearly and concisely describe your topic. What hero figure, heroic ideal, or celebrity will you specifically .

The document examines key elements of composition and literary analysis.
Narrative essay
This document outlines the key characteristics of a narrative essay, including involving readers in a story through a sequence of events from a point of view, using sensory details, and including elements like a plot, climax, and ending.

Finally, it recommends selecting an incident, finding its relevance, and including descriptive details.
Elements of Writing
This document discusses several essential elements of writing, including thesis statements, open and closed form writing, audience, tone, style, and support.
[1] Thesis statements should be interesting, significant, and problematic; indicate what questions are being answered; and imply "because." [2] Open form writing uses descriptions, scenes, dialogue and character development while closed form uses a single declarative sentence. [3] Writers must know their audience by considering factors like age, education, and reactions. [4] Tone and style contribute to voice and consistency. [5] Essays require contextual support through history, culture and building empathy.
Reading literature
The document provides a framework for closely reading and analyzing literature. It discusses examining various elements of a text including theme, setting, mood, point of view, characters, language, and literary techniques. As an example, it analyzes excerpted passages from Herman Melville's "Benito Cereno" focusing on word choice, imagery, and potential foreshadowing to draw out meaning and themes from the text. The document aims to equip readers with strategies for uncovering deeper understandings of literature through close inspection of textual elements and details.
Grade 8 - Dignity Discussion "Analyzing Literature" and The Story Elements.pdf
Literature encompasses creative works such as poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction that reflect human experiences. It serves as a mirror to society and offers insights into human nature. There are two basic types of literature - fiction, which involves imaginative storytelling, and non-fiction, which provides factual information based on real events. Elements that make up stories include characters, setting, plot, conflict, point of view, and theme. These elements enhance comprehension and enjoyment of literature.

Group Project- Interpretation
This document provides guidance for writing a formal interpretation of an artwork. It instructs students to examine how the work affects them by identifying meaningful themes, ideas, and feelings or emotions elicited. It discusses three types of interpretation: formal theories, sociocultural theories, and expressive theories. Students are asked to consider questions about the political, philosophical, religious, artistic, geographic, and cultural context of the time period to incorporate at least three of these categories with at least three sentences each in their response. The objective is to demonstrate an understanding of interpretation versus evaluation and how a work generates meaning through various lenses.

Composition Project 1Project 1 Literary AnalysisTask Write a l.docx
Composition Project 1
Project 1: Literary Analysis
Task: Write a literary analysis of one of the short stories we read in this course. Briefly describe the story,
and what you think are the essential literary elements to understanding the story.
Audience and purpose: Your objective is to use evidence to support your analysis of the short story.
Your audience is your classmates and instructor as well as a larger audience who has not read the short story
before.
Research and evidence: You need only draw from the texts that you have read for this project. However,
in order to illustrate your theme, you may also use outside sources.
Steps toward success:
1) Read your short story in-depth. (This will require multiple readings of the text.)
2) Take notes and annotate the story.
3) Take advantage of the process. Carefully consider all revision comments you receive from your peers
and instructor, and make significant revisions.
4) Avoid simply summarizing the plot of the short story. Remember that this class focuses on your
analytical writing skills, not on retelling the story.
4) Checklist:
Length: 900 to 1200 words
Sources: For this project, you need only refer to the literature on which you are working. Be sure
to cite both the evidence from the text and any outside sources you use.
Include a Works Cited page using MLA style.
Literary Analysis: Using Elements of Literature
Students are asked to write literary analysis essays because this type of assignment encourages you to think about
how and why
a poem, short story, novel, or play was written.
·
To successfully analyze literature, you’ll need to remember that authors make specific choices for particular reasons. Your essay should point out the author’s choices and attempt to explain their significance.
·
Another way to look at a literary analysis is to consider a piece of literature from your own perspective. Rather than thinking about the author’s intentions, you can develop an argument based on any single term (or combination of terms) listed below.
You’ll need to use the original text as evidence to defend and explain your argument to the reader.
Character -
representation of a person, place, or thing performing traditionally human activities or functions in a work of fiction
·
Protagonist
- The character the story revolves around.
·
Antagonist
- A character or force that opposes the protagonist.
·
Minor character
- Often provides support and illuminates the protagonist.
·
Static character
- A character that remains the same.
·
Dynamic character
- A character that changes in some important way.
·
Characterization
- The choices an author makes to reveal a character’s personality, such as appearance, actions, dialogue, and motivations.
Look for: Connections, links, and clues between and about characters. Ask yourself what the function and significance of each character is. Make this determination based upon the character's history, what the reader is told (and .
Personal writing power point
This document provides instruction and content for an ENG 111 Expository Writing course on personal essays. It includes prompts for an opening writing assignment, objectives for the lesson, definitions and characteristics of personal writing and essays, examples of personal essay topics, and guidance on developing descriptive writing. The key points are: personal essays are nonfiction pieces that contain the writer's subjective response and use the first person; they tell a story and convey a larger truth through vivid details and figurative language; and good descriptive writing appeals to all senses to help readers visualize the subject.
The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argum.docx
The purpose of a personal narrative, in general, is to make an argument by telling a story from your own life. In this paper, that argument should relate to how you “came of age”. In other words, you should write a story about a personal experience you went through at some point, and show how that experience helped you change, in some way, into who you are today. Examples of significant experiences you could write about include (but certainly are not limited to):
A rite of passage for a culture or group you are a part of
A favorite experience growing up
A horrible experience growing up
A major change in your life
An ethical dilemma
Someone or something that influenced you
A challenge you overcame
An initiation that impacted your identity
Things to consider:
Time: do not try to write about a great expanse of time. Frame the narrative into a small period of time.
Belief: Do not be afraid to create information where gaps exist in memory.
Details: readers like to be informed about things they have not experienced: use action, language, emotion, facts, and figurative language.
Construct a story: with a beginning, middle, and an end. This is a straight chronology. Or, use other formulas, such as starting at the end and working backwards in time. The epic formula, for instance, begins in the middle, goes into the past, and then forward to the end.
Narrative writing includes description: concrete details bring the story to life.
Stories offer some type of point: a value claim (an implicit thesis in personal narratives) about human experience. Ask yourself “so what?”

Introlit analysis-1217252303491728-9
The document provides guidance on how to analyze works of literature by examining key elements like plot, characters, setting, point of view, themes and rhetorical devices. It advises the reader to carefully read the work multiple times, ask questions, annotate, and identify patterns to determine both the literal and figurative meaning. The analysis should then explain what the work means and how the author conveys that meaning through the use of various literary elements and techniques.
Write an observation essay that explains the unique significance.docx
Write an
observation essay
that explains the unique significance of a particular person or place within a larger community. Describe the person or place through vivid description, narration, dialogue and sensory details. Help others outside of your community understand why the person or place is important to the community.
Assignment
Observation
, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to "study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way" (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also "find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject" (93).
Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to
convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject "fits" within the community's priorities and values
. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.
*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time.
In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:
Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration.
Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer
insight
into why this person or place has unique
significance
as an important part of the community.
Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should .
Ch 1 Speech Communication powerpoint.ppt
This document discusses several key aspects of communication and meaning. It explains that meaning depends on context, including the situation and accompanying behaviors. Meaning exists in the heads of individuals and can change with experience or differ between people. Misunderstandings are unavoidable but can be anticipated. Effective communication requires understanding the audience, their perspectives, and the relationship between speakers and listeners.
Lit1
This document discusses different approaches to literary criticism including reader-response, Marxism, feminism, queer theory, formalism, historical-biographical, and deconstruction. It also outlines standards for evaluating literature such as artistry, intellectual value, suggestiveness, spiritual value, permanence, universality, and style. Critical approaches examine elements like social classes, gender representations, inherent textual features, author's life, and conflicting meanings. Literary standards assess qualities like how well elements work together to convey meaning, intellectual stimulation, emotional appeal, moral influence, lasting relevance, broad appeal, and original style.
TOPIC 2 Lecture 2-CHILDREN’S LITERATURE & DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITIES (1).pptx
The document discusses how reading literature can promote personal and academic development in children. It describes reader response theory, which sees reading as a transaction between the reader and text, with the reader drawing on their own experiences to interpret the text. Reading literature can lead to improved understanding of self and society, help shape personality as children interact with texts, and promote empathy, moral reasoning, imagination, and interpersonal skills. It can also boost reading comprehension, vocabulary, and cognitive skills like reasoning.

Important notes:
# If you are NOT able to diliver an A paper ON TIME, please do NOT ask to do this.
# This paper for Humanities class, not English class.
# I have done step 1 already (
Short Description of Topic). see attachment.
# I will need a picture of the hero that best describe why we chose him or why is he a hero on our eyes.
Research Topic: Contemplating a Hero for the Age(s)
As our course materials make clear, ideas/images of heroes or heroic figures are pervasive and seem to have both universal and unique (cultural, temporal, geographic, etc.) characteristics and meanings. For your research paper, I would like you to focus on one specific character or individual who has been, or arguably could be, proclaimed a heroic (or at least celebrated) figure. The “hero” you choose may be most frequently encountered in oral tradition (myth, folktale, legend, personal experience narratives, etc.), print (classical mythology, novels, children’s literature, written history, comic books, etc.) or visual/multi-media formats (art works, film, television, Internet, etc.). In all likelihood, crucial understandings (current or past) of any particular hero/celebrity will be found in multiple forms of communication and representation. For example, how many different ways can one come to “know” Hercules, George Washington, or Luke Skywalker?
Questions to Ask/Issues to Address (not exhaustive by any means)
:
Who is the figure in question? In what contexts (cultural, social, historical, etc.) is s/he or it situated and made meaningful? Whose hero/celebrity is s/he or it?
What types of communication/media are central to understandings of the figure? How are the background, actions, and implications of the hero/celebrity disseminated?
What exactly are his/her/its heroic/celebrated characteristics? How are these similar to and different from various hero patterns covered in class? What might account for continuities and dissimilarities?
Why is this hero/celebrity important? What are the critical issues, circumstances or dilemmas that make his/her/its actions crucial? What difference does this figure supposedly make in the world? And why?
What forces seem to control the fate and actions of the hero (divine, natural, scientific, emotional, etc.)? How does this predicament tie into the worldview of those who create/narrate the hero?
What does the nature of this hero/celebrity seem to say about the inner life of the groups/individuals who admire him/her/it and are enthralled by tales of his/her/its exploits? In other words, what are the broader psychological/emotional implications of the hero/celebrity in question?
Ultimately, why do heroes/celebrities matter?
Project Development Step #1
: Short Description of Topic
The first step in the development of your research is the drafting of a project/paper description (1-2 pages) in which you clearly and concisely describe your topic. What hero figure, heroic ideal, or celebrity will you specifically .

[3] Writers must know their audience by considering factors like age, education, and reactions. [4] Tone and style contribute to voice and consistency. [5] Essays require contextual support through history, culture and building empathy.
Reading literature
The document provides a framework for closely reading and analyzing literature. It discusses examining various elements of a text including theme, setting, mood, point of view, characters, language, and literary techniques.

Grade 8 - Dignity Discussion "Analyzing Literature" and The Story Elements.pdf
Literature encompasses creative works such as poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction that reflect human experiences. It serves as a mirror to society and offers insights into human nature. There are two basic types of literature - fiction, which involves imaginative storytelling, and non-fiction, which provides factual information based on real events. Elements that make up stories include characters, setting, plot, conflict, point of view, and theme. These elements enhance comprehension and enjoyment of literature.
14.7 review rhetorical modes
The document discusses the four main rhetorical modes: argumentation, description, narration, and exposition. It defines each mode, provides examples, and explains key elements and purposes. Argumentation aims to prove an idea's validity through reasoning and argument. Description visually presents people, places, or events. Narration tells stories or sequences events. Exposition explains and analyzes information.
Author Craft Notes
The document provides an overview of key elements for analyzing stories, including theme, plot, characters, setting, point of view, types of conflict, characterization, setting, rhetorical devices, and figurative language. It defines these elements and discusses how they relate to one another and contribute to the author's overall meaning or theme. Contextual elements beyond the surface story are also mentioned as revealing the author's experiences.
Group Project- Interpretation
This document provides guidance for writing a formal interpretation of an artwork. It instructs students to examine how the work affects them by identifying meaningful themes, ideas, and feelings or emotions elicited. It discusses three types of interpretation: formal theories, sociocultural theories, and expressive theories. Students are asked to consider questions about the political, philosophical, religious, artistic, geographic, and cultural context of the time period to incorporate at least three of these categories with at least three sentences each in their response. The objective is to demonstrate an understanding of interpretation versus evaluation and how a work generates meaning through various lenses.

essay I wrote need to be fixed:HEADING?-should write Essay One: Sedaris and Anzaldua
INDENTThe process of learning is an inevitable one for every human being as he/she goes about doing his./her daily tasks. Many are the occasions when we find ourselves compelled to learn new things whether formally or informally so as to fit in to a given situation. Learning of languages is one example of a very common learning process undertaken by many people. Whatever one is learning, he/she may end up enjoying it and doing it as fun rather than a punishment if the teacher is friendly. However, the experience will be a complete opposite if the teacher is disgusting. Disgusting hung? You give a lot of power to other people, and very little to learners. I wonder students who get through 12-14 years of school are able to complete their studies if they delineate power this way. Learning languages, especially foreign ones, can be quite a costly affair and affect humans negatively by lowering confidence in their abilities to do everyday activities. Your thesis is arguing that humans should not learn foreign languages because it is costly and lowers confidence? Wouldn’t that also be the cost of learning anything… or going to college? Maybe something to think of moving forward.
INDENTLearning languages can be an avenue for one to be humiliated and scolded by those who are supposed to teach him/her. When we embark on learning a second, third, or even forth language, we often hope that this would earn us additional experience, skills, and the aptitude COMMA which increases our chances of getting a job. Some educators may be hell-bent to discourage you or they may be simply seeing you as a nuisance because of your lack of knowledge in that language. CIRCUMSTANIAL…. MAYLEAVES THIS ARGUMENT WISHY WASHY. IT ALSO IMPLIES YOU KNOW INTENT, WHICH YOU NEED TO PROVE. This is demonstrated by David Sedaris in his story "Me Talk Pretty One Day" when he says what his French teacher told him. The teacher said to him "I hate you...I really hate you" (Sedaris par. 20). GOOD MLA APPLICATION. The teacher hated Sedaris because, according to her, he was lazy. This is very insensitive of the teacher and can make the student lose self-esteem.BUT THIS SELF ESTEEM ISSUE WAS ONE STRENTHENED BY HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE END. Low self esteem may have a negative impact not only on his class performance, but also affect his everyday interactions with others. Whenever he goes out in the course of his daily activities, Sedaris may findit HERE IS THAT MAY AGAIN….hard to start conversations because he feels he is not up to the task of communicating in French.
INDENTOften, some people may be compelledto learn a second language for the single reason that they are doubtful of the legitimacy of their first language. Such fellows feel that their language is MORE backward and unsophisticated than the language they want to learn or are in the process of learning. In the story "How To Tame a Wild Toungue" by.

This gel-like material is what makes plastic bags. Ever since its beginnings in the 1960s, plastic shopping bags can be seen in many places: in shopping carts, in trunks of cars, and in kitchens. Katherine Mangu-Ward states, “In 2010, Guinness World Records named plasticbagsthe most ubiquitous consumer item in the world” (2015). But, the problem is that we also see plastic bags floating in oceans and trapped inside aquatic organisms. So, the question becomes, do we ban plastic bags in all fifty states, or do we continue using them in shopping centers?
________________________________________________________________________
(Thesis)_Considering many factors, plastic bags should be banned from stores in all fifty states due to the negative effect they have on the environment when they are produced and after they are produced, along with the fact that many countries and cities have already successfully banned them and reaped the positive environmental benefits of doing so. __
Body Paragraph # 1
Topic Sentence : One reason lawmakers should ban plastic bags in all fifty states, is due to the negative environmental ramifications, when they are produced.
Major Supporting Detail # 1: __Plastic bags are made from an already depleting fossil fuel: oil, which takes thousands of years to form. Oil already has many uses, including being used for gasoline and diesel in vehicles and homes, jet fuel, and for roads and roofs, among many other uses. Eliminating plastic bags will make better use of this limited oil resource.
Evidence/Quote/Paraphrase—“Quotation Sandwich”
_ The Kinnelon Conserves website states that “five trillion plastic bags are produced each year, which accounts for .2% of the earth’s oil consumption each year…it takes 12 million barrels of oil just to make enough plastic bags for America!” That is a lot of wasted oil on a product we usually only use one time for about 15 minutes. Oil is already being used up at an alarming rate for energy, construction, and other types of plastics like for toys and many household items, so we should not waste it on one-use plastic bags, and further negatively affect our environment.
Major Detail # 2: _When we extract oil from our land to make plastic bags, we also release methane into the atmosphere, which traps heat, and increases global warming. So, oil extraction, also induces air pollution. __________________

Essay contentWhere did your storypoetry come from What specif.docx
Essay content:
Where did your story/poetry come from? What specific things did you use from your Alien Anthropology, Creator’s Subject, or other course writing to generate the idea or subject of your story/poetry? How did you move from those original snippets of writing to a story/poetry idea to the story/poetry itself?
What discourse community does your work speak to, or for? What subject, issue, or conversation might your work contribute to within that discourse community? What might your work add to that conversation? Be as specific as possible, here; I’m looking for detail and insight into how your work fits into a larger, already ongoing conversation within an established discourse community.
Describe the most significant revisions you made in your work, and the thinking behind those revisions (why you made the craft choices that you did, what you were experimenting with, or what you hoped to accomplish through your revisions). One thing you could do for this subtopic is look back at the workshop responses you received, and describe how/why you did/did not use those responses.
Describe the craft elements in your work that give it the most impact, and what you were trying to accomplish by using those craft elements the way you did. (Suggestion: This is where you show off your knowledge of writing craft, so use vocabulary terms you’ve learned, and be detailed with them. I encourage you to look at the discussion posts on craft elements to examine and reflect on how your knowledge and skills with writing craft have evolved, and how your knowledge/skills of craft elements are illustrated in your creative work. You might also cite any reading assignments that helped you learn about specific craft elements in your own work.)
In general, how did the writing process work for you? What challenges did you face as you wrote and revised? What risks did you take? What did you learn from any “mistakes” you made? What worked well for you? (Suggestion: This is where you might use vocabulary terms and concepts about creativity that we covered in this course, going all the way back to the beginning of the course.)
Explain the specific revisions you would/will make to your final draft in order to complete it, and why you think these revisions would make your story/poetry complete and effective.
Can you imagine situations where skills in creative thinking/innovation might be useful or necessary in your academic discipline or career field? What concepts or skills from ENG 226 might you apply in those situations to help you solve a problem, answer a complicated question, or innovate a new idea or solution? (Suggestion: look through the readings, etc., from our first unit to find specific ideas, skills, activities, etc., that can help you address this question.)

Essay Assignment
:
Students are tasked with completing an essay assignment from a list of 3 potential topics.
- Topic #1:
Culture
– Over the past couple of months, people all over the world have had to undertake ‘social distancing’ which has seen contact even between close family members seriously curtailed, if not prohibited, outside of their homes. This has meant that many of the cultural rituals that have historically punctuated and gave meaning to our lives have had to be delayed, modified or cancelled altogether. This has included birthdays, graduations, weddings and funerals in addition to various religious celebrations that happen daily, weekly, annually or otherwise. How have you had to modify, delay or cancel cultural activities over this time and what, if anything, have you learned about the meaning/significance of these events as a result? How might have ‘social distancing’ practices affected other groups or cultures differently from what you have experienced? To what extent do you feel virtual participation can replace physical presence at cultural events?
Topic #2:
political Economy
– The Covid-19 pandemic has forced governments around the world, including Canada’s, to make interventions into their economies in ways which may have never seemed possible just a few months ago. This has included paying most of the wages of workers in private enterprises, curtailing the legal rights of landlords to evict or punish their renters, and closing large parts of their economies altogether. This has happened in countries who perceive themselves to be in favour of a limited role of government, such as the United States, and others which are officially socialist, such as China. What have these actions taught you about the differences in the political and economic ideologies of countries? Have your opinions on what the role of the ‘state’ should be in the economies of countries?
Topic #3:
Trade
– The Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated how interconnected the world is with respect to the trade in goods and the flow of people. While countries, such as Canada, have closed their borders to all but essential travel by people, they have remained open to trade. While people have been required to ‘stay home’ and even ‘shelter in place’, Amazon has had to hire 100,000 workers to keep the flow of goods moving internationally. How has international trade assisted in the international response to the pandemic? Has this strengthened the arguments in favour of international trade? What, if any, weaknesses in the global trading system has the pandemic identified?

“Technology and Education”
How have new technologies had an impact on education? What impact might they have the future? While change can always have both positive and negative effects, has the impact of specific technologies on education been
mostly
positive or
mostly
negative, and for whom? To have a more specific and focused paper, choose a specific type of technology
and
a specific level of education (primary, high school, college).
Sample Topics/Ideas for the Technology and Education Option:
Should more assistive/adaptive technology for people with disabilities be incorporated into schools? What schools would most benefit from greater assistive technologies? Why are these technologies important?
Should teachers incorporate social media/cell phones/computers into the classrooms? Are these new methods of communication a neglected and vital resource that most teachers are simply too old-fashioned to take advantage of? Or are they mostly a dangerous distraction?
How important is it for students to have technology in the classroom? Is it
essential
to a modern student’s education, or are there more important things on which we should spend our education budget?
Essay Structure:
Introduction: includes background and context—makes the reader interested in your topic

Essay Assignment – A Textual Analysis of the Royal Proclamation of 1.docx
Essay Assignment – A Textual Analysis of the Royal Proclamation of 1763
Introduction
:
With the conclusion of the Seven Years War, Great Britain became the dominant power in North America. However, having taken over French colonial possessions, the British were not welcomed by many of the First Nations who had been allied with the French (review Pontiac’s War). In order to establish peaceful relationships with the First Nations (and the French settlers), the British negotiated with the First Nations that resulted in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 – which ended the hostilities, for the most part, between the British and the First Nations. This document, the Proclamation, is an enormously important document in Canadian history and its significance reverberates into modern days as First Nations continue to rely on the document when making legal claims about land ownership.
For this assignment, the Learning Objectives are:
• The Reading of excerpts of a primary document/historical document (the Proclamation)• The Contextualizing of said document, taking a British and First Nations’ perspective of the time and formulating your own stance/viewpoint• The Researching and incorporating of one secondary source related to this topic
Prompt Questions:
Write an essay that incorporates and answers the following questions:
Who benefited most from the issuance of the Royal Proclamation? European settlers or First Nations?
Why did the Proclamation of 1763 contribute to a “souring of the relationship” between Great Britain and her subjects (British settlers) in the thirteen colonies?
The document appears to show great concern for the welfare of First Nations. To what extent was this document designed with the intention of supporting and protecting the interests of the indigenous peoples?
Context
:
At the end of the Seven Years’ War in 1763, France surrendered Canada and much of the Ohio and Mississippi valleys—two-thirds of eastern North America—to England. The British Proclamation of 1763 "preserved to the said Indians" the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains and ordered white settlers "there forthwith to remove themselves from such Settlements," forbade white settlement, and restricted commerce with the American Indians to traders licensed by the British government, requiring settlers to "take out a License for carrying on such Trade from the Governor or Commander in Chief of any of Our Colonies respectively." Power over westward expansion was in the hands of British officials, outside the colonists’ control. By preventing the colonial population from moving inland the British ministry hoped to avoid costly wars, protect the western fur trade, and keep western land speculation under the control of the crown. To enforce the proclamation, Britain authorized positioning 10,000 troops along the frontier, with the costs of 250,000 pounds sterling per year to be paid by the colonists. The British settlers, who looked at the new land as an opportunit.

Essay Arugment on Julius Caesar play. essay question is:
2
In
Julius Caesar
, there are no moral absolutes: no character is entirely good or entirely bad.
Throughout the play, Julius Caesar, it is evident that Marcus Brutus is entirely good proving the statement there are no moral absolutes in the play to be false. The only action that Brutus does that is perceived as “bad” is justifiable, rendering it as “good.” With no other bad action or thing done by Brutus in the rest of the play, Brutus is irrefragably entirely good. The only action that Brutus does that was perceived as bad was the assassination of Julius Caesar. This action, however, is actually not bad and is a good action as it was justifiable. The reason that Brutus killed Julius Caesar was not for personal gain and was for the benefit of Rome. Brutus clearly exhibits that he did not kill Caesar for personal reasons in the line, “It must be by his death And for my part I know no personal cause to spurn at him…” Due to Brutus having a justifiable reason for killing Caesar that is “good” and is of benefit to others and not just Brutus, then the action of killing Caesar is a good one. The argument could be brought up that murder is never justifiable, and therefore Brutus is not entirely good. The argument that murder is never justifiable does not apply to more ancient times when the play is set and is thus not relevant to the play. This is to killing being more acceptable in ancient times than in modern times of which this notion originates from particularly due to a very violent 20
th
century. Therefore, as Brutus’ only action that is perceived as “bad” is actually good, and he has no other bad actions in the play, then Brutus is entirely good. Thus, the statement that there are no moral absolutes in Julius Caesar is incorrect as exhibited by Marcus Brutus.

Essay Assignment #3
Required length: 5-7 pages, not including the Works Cited
This assignment requires students to use the ideas from our readings to develop a research project on the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. Your purpose in Assignment #3 is to devise your own argument about your chosen subject and to support your argument using various sources (and your own ethnographic research if you would like to). This assignment requires you to identify a specific topic on your own and to do library research (and ethnographic research) in developing your argument: you must include direct citations from at least one (1) course reading and at least three (3) sources from the library databases. It is optional to use your own ethnographic research. In your essay, you should formulate a clear and focused thesis and provide a detailed account of your evidence.
As mentioned earlier, this assignment is to be driven largely by your own research and thinking. You should be doing library research as you write, not after you’ve completed a first draft. Research and writing are thoroughly connected. Your research process will involve reading, thinking, taking notes, and perusing the databases and other sources until you have figured out what you want to write. Then, as you continue writing, you should go back into the research process again to get new ideas or to find additional sources. Sometimes your argument shifts or changes as you find new sources, and this is a good sign that you are doing research-based writing correctly. Don’t be afraid to change direction in writing the first draft—you can always improve or clarify your draft in your revision process.
Remember that, in a short paper like this, you cannot write something meaningful about all aspects of the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States, but you can make a significant argument about one or two issues in connection with this topic.
In Essay 3, you need to develop your own argument in connection with the experiences of the children of immigrants and college in the United States. You may pursue any argumentative angle that you would like. You may want to consider some of the topics raised by the authors that we read:
· Parental expectations/influence regarding education, college major, career choice
· Other influences on students’ pursuit of a college degree, choice of major/career
· Connection between parents’ work situation/financial status/work ethic and the choice to pursue a college education Comment by Zahraa Alquraini: I choose this topic
· Differences in educational attainment among different second-generation immigrant populations
· Reasons for a particular second-generation immigrant population’s high (or low) educational attainment
· Obstacles some second-generation individuals experience regarding going to college (such as poor high school education, lack of parental educational attainment, lack of .

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
