Integrating Semicolons
The biggest difference between my paper and Woolf’s is the fact she used semicolons and I didn’t have a single one in my paper. With semicolons, she got a wider range of sentence types. With more sentence types, her style is more sophisticated than one with only simple and complex sentences like mine. It would really benefit me as a writer to know when and how to use semicolons effectively. I believe with integrating semicolons my papers would have more strength; they also would have a more academic style.

    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.…

    Gothic Poe and Hawthorne

    • 1173 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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.…
