Narrative essays allow writers to explore meaningful events or people from their lives. They help the writer gain perspective and remember important details while also improving writing skills. When writing a narrative essay, authors should choose a subject that truly impacted them and use specific details to help readers understand their experience. Narratives are usually written in first person and include a conflict or change. Details like locations, dialogue, and sensory descriptions help bring the story to life for readers who did not share the experience. Writers can use journaling, brainstorming, clustering and freewriting to help discover a topic and remember important details for their narrative.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

meaningful time or person in your life
• Help you explore the importance of the
person or event and how it affected you

Details about a Narrative
Choose a subject that truly affected you in some way
and matters to you
What you learned from and/or how the subject
affected will serve as your primary claim
Capture the meaningfulness of this event or person
and convey this same idea to the audience
Remember your audience: they did not share the
same experience, so you need use plenty of details
to help them “envision” your subject.
4. Aspects of a Narrative
• Usually is written in first-person point of view (“I,”
“me,” “we”)
• There is some type of conflict or change in
circumstances in your story
• Often, dialogue can help move the story along
and include certain information about people-lets
the audience better learn about them
• Includes details! For example, instead of saying
“We went to the mountains,” you could say “We
went to the Smokey Mountains in NC.” The
audience may not understand where you’re
talking about if you only say mountains or beach.
5. Techniques to Use to Get
Started
• Journaling
• Pre-writing techniques: brainstorming,
freewriting, clustering
• Observing
• Remembering
6. Journaling
• To help you discover what you want to focus on
in your Narrative try…
• Brainstorming: list important events or persons
in your life
• Clustering: circle at least 3-4 of the most
relevant or interesting ones on the list
• Freewriting: Spend 5-10 minutes writing about
each of those 3-4 selections; don’t stop, just
write everything about them you can remember
or whatever else comes to mind as you think
about this person or event
• Take a look at these exercises and you should
find one topic that you want to write about in
your Narrative
7. Observing
• Try to find picture or object that relates to this
person or event (even if it’s not one of your own
such as a pic of a place)
• In your journal, write every detail you can think
of or notice from this pic or object
• Even if you don’t have an object or picture,
spend some time trying to remember as many
details as possible and write these down
• Details listed in your journal can help you add
more to your narrative
8. Other Techniques w/ Observing
• Notice and write about sensory details (sight, sound,
smell, touch, taste)
– Example: A trip to the beach where you learned how to swim.
How did the ocean smell? Did you learn to swim in the ocean or
pool-how this water look to you? Did you swallow some watertaste salty, chlorinated?
• Describe what is NOT there
– Example: Who did not go on the trip and you wished would have
been there to see you swim?
• Note interesting, surprising, unusual, etc aspects about
the subject
– Did someone help you swim or were you just thrown into the
water? How did you react? Was there some interesting way your
swim teacher taught you?
• Focus on a dominant idea
– What did you mainly get out of this experience in addition to
learning how to swim? Did you feel more confident, older, or
complete opposite liked it scared you even more to be in the
water?
9. Remembering
• Writing about memories not only involves using
observation but also includes carefully selecting
memories relevant to your narrative
• Use detailed observations mentioned in previous slide
• Focus on either the occasion/person itself and how it
directly impacted you
• Make connections between past events, people, or
places and the present. (Like swimming and you building
the confidence to try new things now)
• Discover and focus on main idea: Have a clear main
point (thesis statement) and make sure everything in the
essay supports this main idea/thesis.
– Example: Main idea (I discovered more about myself and my
abilities one summer when I finally took the plunge and learned
how to swim). The rest of the essay will explore how this event
changed you and give specifics about how it did.
