Discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably because of their racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. Jane Elliott decided to use role-play a situation portraying the discrimination that a person of different colour would be constantly exposed to in day-to-day life.…
Joseph Harris’ essay “Revising” (2006 pg.452-69); serves as a guide in how to correctly revise any writing you have ever completed. Harris designates four points that must be taken under consideration while revising. Before getting to the core of his argument, Harris notes that revising is not the same as editing. The essay points out that students are trained too just polish and make their writing sleeker rather than making a difference or significant change to the original. From there Harris brings up his first point stating that the author must decide what exactly it is that they are trying to convey. Harris believes the problem stems from that fact that many writers focus too much on correcting mistakes without thinking of what it is they…
Nancy Sommers studies the problem of revision between students writers and more experienced writers. Those writers who are students focus more on the revision as fixing small errors and textual repetition, when more experienced writers focus on revision more generally, not only on the repetition of the words, but also on the repetition of the concept and ideas. This allows to the writers to do not get stack on superficial errors and let their ideas flow on the paper and to get across to the audience.…

In the article “The Maker’s Eye,” Donald Murray establishes the idea that, to create a strong essay and be a strong writer, you have to recognize the subject of your writing, but most of all how you portray that subject to your readers. As Murray explains it, the subject of any essay is its message, what the writer is trying to tell his readers, which is why the writer should always focus on it. If the writer deviates from their intended path, the essay or story gets confusing to the reader as both of them lose focus on the central theme and purpose of the writing. If the writer is trying to support a certain claim or idea, it doesn’t make sense when they start writing about a completely different topic. Nonetheless, as Murray makes clear,…

The five steps of the writing process are equally vital to the succession of any writing assignment, whether it is for work or school. The five stages include PREWRITING, PLANNING, DRAFTING, REVISING, and PROOFREADING. As our text (Arlov, 2014), explains, “Writing is not a single act, but a process composed of several steps,” (p. 3). Moreover, constructing a strong paper that is well-written (no matter how tedious it seems), requires efficaciously executing all five phases. It is crucial not to take shortcuts by eluding any step of the writing process.…
Fiction is an attempt to tell the truth about things we generally lie about. I agree because authors write books that tell every thing like it is and that it seems right but is very wrong, and they tell it with out censorship and make readers think is that the way friends, family , and strangers think too because I can’t read their minds?…

Overall, I did well changing in account of what I wanted to see different, even if meant changing the whole piece itself. I expressed my voice and a relationship to language. Some challenges I faced during this process came differently from each original draft. A Raisin in the Sun essay was correcting my grammatical structure: run on sentence, fragments, and pausing more with periods, shortening introductions, and making sure quotes flowed well with the sentences. In the “Girl” story it was trying to develop characters further such as the head coach ‘berserkness’ and developing a best player parent coach relationship with the best player contrasting the head coach frequently. In Holden’s Voice it was a little difficult adjusting to embrace the sound and personality of Holden as well as being more sympathetic and less personal to good Old Shady. The real challenge was trying to change what I thought were masterpieces already, but it was a skill that I needed to develop and practice to benefit my writing technique. The improvements affected the various pieces with building up more and allowing a window into for other ideas to grow from there in the “Girl”…

As I was writing the three pieces of work I started looking for my outcome instead of just starting. I had to know what I wanted my end piece to be and who exactly I was trying to reach. From thinking about my outcome, I then had to organize my thoughts and then begin writing. My peers evaluated my work and gave me constructive critisim, which helped my pieces improve. I began to read chapters and gain more knowledge about writing. All of steps I took to construct my emails and letters fell back on a process called ACE. In the textbook it states that ACE is a process that you can apply in any situation. Every letter stands for something different. The A stands for analyzing, the C stands for composing, and the E stands for evaluating. I found it much easier to complete well-written work when I followed the ACE process.…

Out of all the steps in my writing process, I believe prewriting was the most helpful. In prewriting you’re supposed to let your thoughts flow without stopping and making changes. So because I didn’t take the time to stress on proper grammar and more, I was able to start my first draft faster. Prewriting also helped me narrow what I wrote into groups, in this case the importance of rice in my family. Not only did prewriting help me narrow my writing into groups, but it also helped me, who was struggling, to find topics to talk about.…
