Where would we be in deep sea exploration without technology? Soon I will answer that question, but for now let's see where we are. The Aqualung is a device that started the line of deep sea equipment. Next was the Jim Suit. For this reason, the Deepsea Challenger. The Aqualung, Jim Suit, and Deepsea Challenger are all portions of technology that have contributed to deep sea exploration.…

I read your story and there was a few things that hit me throughout this passage. A few of them being the sense of honesty and humility you hold, the honesty towards the people you work with and the general awareness and involvement to those you got to share this time of your life in close relation with. The genuine interest you expressed towards your co-workers truly assisted in the theme of community being portrayed by you in the narrative.…
According to gender stereotypes, girls and boys are expected to act in certain ways that are fundamental in the eyes of society. Girls are expected to be quiet and part of the obeying gender, while it is anticipated that boys are always up to no good. Similarly, in the article by Messner (2008), Barbie Girls Versus Sea Monsters: Children Constructing Gender, boys are represented as loud and aggressive, while girls are feminine and more respectful. Boys are shown to be on a verbal chant, while the girls cheer for all. In Fitzhugh’s novel, it is of central importance to note that although the common assumptions are rejected, Fitzhugh is able to positively argue that it is natural. The concept of new realism, where new topics and issues formerly taboo are addressed in…

Step 2 (EVIDENCE): Even though both peers complimented me because I used a lot of credible sources. One of them said that my voice is lost because I included too much evidence. Therefore, I will try to start each paragraph with my own original sentence and then start supporting it with evidence. Also, I will remove unnecessary and/or excessive…
Their Eyes were Watching God, written by Zora Neale Hurston, is a unique novel about the experiences of a black woman, told mostly through a rich, continuous use of metaphors. Three of the most important metaphors Hurston uses are the porch, the pear tree, and the horizon. The porch represents the black community with its conventions and judgements. The pear tree symbolizes the epiphany about Janie’s sexuality and her hopes for her future that the main character Janie experiences when she is 16. The horizon, however, is the most important metaphor of them all. It stands for an almost unattainable goal that nevertheless influences almost everything Janie does until she overcomes the tragic death of her true love Tea Cake and is made stronger,…

The Little Mermaid is a well known story about the mermaid who was yearning for the life out of the sea. She wanted to be part of the human world and explore all of the wonderful things of living below the stars. The original Little Mermaid story was written in 1836 by a man named Hans Christian Andersen. The Little Mermaid was created into a Disney movie in 1989, many of the aspects of the stories followed the path of one of Vladimir Propp's spheres he created for folktales. He came from Russia and studied many, many folk tales. Vladimir was able to write a book called 'Morphology of the Folk Tale', and is was about the 31 plot elements seen in many tales. These elements could easily be combined and created into the spheres of actions, which are the general outline present in the tale.…
You used a perfect blend between a formal and informal word choice, and it works because your intended audience consists of community leaders, particularly for small organizations. You don’t need to sound extremely formal and professional, but you also have to establish and maintain your credibility as a researcher on your subject, and I feel that you found the right balance between formality and informality. However, there are a few instances where I think that being a bit more formal would make your sentences better. In the seventh sentence of your fourteenth paragraph, you mention the “cool part of being a community leader” (Dobias 7), and I might just be nitpicking, but I believe that the sentence would improve if you replaced “cool” with “best,” making it “the best part of being a community leader.” My other suggestions for revision are about the first two sentences of your seventeenth paragraph, where I advise you to remove “like it or not” (Dobias 8) from the first sentence. For the second sentence, I think you should either remove the phrase “Because of that” (Dobias 8) and begin it with “You,” or replace that phrase with “As a…
