The beginning process of writing this paper was a very intimidating process for me. But with your help and the help of one of my peers, I think I’ve come a long way with the quality and formatting of my essay. My peer suggested that I use in text citations. Once I researched this to be sure it was necessary, I reviewed my paper and made these adjustments to the best of my understanding. She also pointed out that my thesis statement did not describe the effectiveness of the authors’ rhetorical device. I would not have caught this error otherwise. I expanded my thesis statement to better describe this effectiveness. In both of my feed backs it was mentioned that I didn’t have a strong conclusion. So by restructuring my final paragraph this allowed me to expand in my conclusion. Adding to it a final prospective on Kate Harding’s story.…
I found this assignment very interesting and enjoyed it. I think it was because it was a more creative assignment which enabled me to use my own thoughts a lot more. Also I think I may have a better understanding of what is expected of my assignment’s regarding writing style and referencing and hope to be told weather im correct in thinking this or not.…
Both pieces were very well written. Although both pieces were written by two completely different women. The characteristics, experiences, and culture of both women make these two literature pieces challenge each other.…
5: Do not write separate mini-essays within your paper (that is 500 words about one story, then 500 about the other). An effective comparison proceeds ‘point-by-point’, that is, by moving back and forth constantly between the two things being compared.…
Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe are considered masters of American gothic fiction. Gothic is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. Jennifer Palladino cited Herman Melville who wrote “Gothic was nothing if not new and varied; yet at the same time, there was an unexpected mental growth as well, a dimensional growth in acuity of intelligence and refinement of consciousness.” Poe wrote more of a horror genre, and Hawthorne wrote more of dark and allegorical literature. Their characters were people of a certain society, and in those times, people of certain standards would associate together. They wrote about life and their political parties and what people could expect. Poe and Hawthorne define American literature by the use of symbolism, setting, themes and characterizing.…

I decided to exhibit my revision skills on Paper II: Frankenstein Critical Essay, which highlight my efforts to strengthen the introduction and thesis sentence. I think the introduction is the most important part of the essay—it’s your first impression! The Frankenstein essay not only needed to grasp the reader’s attention but also clearly state my critical argument. I chose to highlight my revision for the Frankenstein essay specifically because my revisions in the introduction aided in developing an analysis of the female characters in Frankenstein. Through the revision process I was able to think critically and recognize the difference between opinion and evidence as well as formulate an intelligent, challenging thesis. In the first draft…
Throughout this course I’ve learned various psychological theories, and being able to watch them play out in film has been an incredible experience for me. I’ve gained new perspectives for why people do the things that they do, which would otherwise be questionable to me. I now have an increased sense of empathy when it comes to others because we are all just trying to survive, and the way we do it is completely variable. For this reason, some of us lie, cheat, steal and cause harm to others. However, until we know the backstory to these people, or we “Take a walk in their shoes”, we will never truly understand them.…
Punctuation is one of the most important aspects of written English, yet it is one taken the most lightly. And it changes meaning, gives a pause to the reader,and changes the tone of the voice when speaking.…
I enjoyed that these three papers were able to make me a stronger writer. The self in context essay I was able to learn how to express my emotions in writing. Most importantly writing the essay I realized that I have been keeping my emotions hidden. The lyrical essay got me to start thinking about writing poems again. Lastly the reportage essay forced me to step out of my comfort zone and have some fun. I am very thankful for this…
I really liked this paper because it was based on personal information and made me remember time that I forgot about. There were some errors in this paper that I could’ve done better. It was also a couple pages short but I could’ve really spent some time on it to make it better. If I had more time I probably could’ve improved my literacy, as well as my dialog and action.…
