reintroduced to a few things that I already knew. Each week I was pushed to challenge myself. In the past six weeks‚ I have learned that when reading critically I need to take my time‚ and take a step back from the obvious‚ to fully understand the purpose of the author’s tone and word choice. In addition‚ I’ve learned to expand my mind when it comes to the different types of writing styles. Not all authors are straightforward‚ some are more complex. That level of complexity can come from the day to day

Today is my 13th birthday‚ I was on the way to get the cake when I was pulled into the alleyway by a man with a mask. As if my brother knew I was in trouble he flew into the alleyway with a killer look in his eyes. “I will give you two seconds to let go of my sister.” he growled dangerously to the man. I tried to run but the hard grip on my arm told me otherwise. “NOW.” He yelled to make his point. The gun slung me to the ground as he drew his weapon and before my brother had time to draw his own

“The Darkest Night of My Life and How God Save Me” Our lives are composed of sorrows and joys. If today we are happy‚ tomorrow we may be sad and vice versa. There are times when everything seems to be perfect and nothing can compare with the happiness that we feel during those unforgettable‚ momentous days‚ while there are some moments when life becomes so sad that they leave a trace of it for the rest of our life. The darkest night of my life was the day my grandmother died. She’s not only a

Erika 5/13/2013 Editors of USA Today: My name is Erika and I am a student a Commonwealth connections academy. I have recently read the article that was published in USA Today titled‚ “School is too easy‚ students report” and I must say that I disagree with this article. Students worldwide would disagree with this article as well. I think that adults being adults think that we as students are not as educated as they once were‚ and the children of these adults strive for the same thing that these

equally by most people because of my ethnic identity. We are stereotyped by the Han‚ the major population of China. We’re perceived as a primitive tribe who cannot be educated and for whom knowledge is useless‚ so my teachers seldom expected me to succeed in my classroom performance. Although my middle school teachers were strict with my classmates‚ they ignored my occasional failures. They assumed that after graduation I would return to a village‚ take over my parents’ land‚ marry a Bouyei man‚

I have found that one of my most hindering personal flaws is the fact that I have always been a rather spectacularly terrible speller. This of course was discovered when I began elementary school and started to learn basic reading and writing. In reading I flourished (a bit to be expected as my mother is a librarian) but in writing I continually struggled with spelling. Unfortunately‚ this caused me to become greatly discouraged with my academic ability for quite some time. Throughout elementary

JAMES HADLEY CHASE “COME EASY – GO EASY” (the report on individual reading) If to characterize the “Come Easy – Go Easy” generally‚ I would say it is typical American thriller with much action‚ violence‚ pursuit for money and expression of the worst human traits of character. In my opinion‚ this story was written to become a part of the author’s manner of achievement of commercial profit. And now‚ writing an essay on the “Come Easy – Go Easy” is‚ to some extend‚ a little bit

because of the literary devices‚ POV’s‚ goals‚ tone‚ etc. In this case‚ "Birthplace" by Taherah Saffazadeh and "Counting Small-Boned Bodies" by Robert Bly can seem different because their aim is not the same‚ as well as tone‚ but it can be further observed that they both have similar and different literary devices. For example‚ both poems use Imagery‚ but only CSBB uses Sarcasm to express his rage for the death count‚ and only Birthplace uses Enjambment. So both poems have their similarities and differences

My House. Upon entering my house‚ you notice the mismatched brown and blue plaid couches under bare walls. A huge television blocks the only window in the room‚ with an old scratched coffee table groaning under a weeks worth of mail. Guacamole colored shag carpet over powers the cheap Asian rug trying to smother it. The blue and brown couches are as comfortable as reclining on bales of straw covered with course burlap. A pomegranate candle sits on top of the television and is lit every morning to
