knowledge from the class. After taking WRD 103‚ I thought I had a good understanding on rhetorical appeals and how to write a well-organized paper. Because of my previous knowledge I had the expectation that WRD 104 would solely focus on how to research a topic and properly cite sources. However‚ I soon came to realize that the class will broaden my perspectives on academic writing even more. To begin‚ a memorable experience that sticks out is one of the first days of class.

I believe that Kathleen Norris is correct when she says that "in many ways the world of My Ántonia is still with us‚ a neglected but significant part of America‚” because we still have people coming into our country hoping to fulfill the American dream and having the country fall short of their expectations. The first similarity that strikes me between the world of My Ántonia and our modern day world is before Jim even meets Antonia he is talking with a local boy about his new neighbors‚ the Shimerdas

Winter is undeniably my favorite season of the year. As a child‚ I would sit by the window with my nose pressed against the glass‚ hypnotized by the meandering path of the falling snowflakes. I loved how my world took on a whole new look in its sparkling white blanket. Some memories evoke a warm nostalgia and mine include the snowy afternoons spent at the nearby sledding hill. I remember dragging my sled up the snow-covered hill over and over again in order to race down as fast as I could. The

I started my nursing career in a level one trauma center ER in Spartanburg‚ SC. There I grew my knowledge by leaps and bounds. Due to a 64 mile distance between my home and that ER‚ two years later I moved from a PRN RN in a smaller ER to a FT position in Hendersonville‚ NC which is closer to home. In both the suburban and rural areas I noted the

suggest anyone does what I do and live how I live. Do not ask me about this paper or contact my parents about it when I say the things that I do. This is starting to sound like a warning ha-ha. I live by one motto‚ it is two words‚ one of them is explicit and starts with the letter f and the other word is it. But for the purposes of this being for school I will use “screw” it instead. I live like this because in my fifteen years of life I have gone through more than you have in your years on this planet

Katie Parham Dr. Rosenbaum ENGL 1050H 20 February 2012 Villain or Aesthete-Judgment or Sympathy The speaker can be seen as both a villain and lover of great art‚ but which is his true identity? In “My Last Duchess”‚ the duke’s deplorable wickedness makes the split between moral judgment and our actual feeling for him especially apparent.

Social and Cultural Influences On Death and Funerals in My Family Each family confronts death and funerals in a different manner. Some families follow long held traditions‚ while others seem to have no such precedent to serve as a guide. At first consideration‚ I thought it would be nearly impossible to write an essay on death and funerals in my family‚ because I don’t have much in the way of personal involvement to draw upon. After contemplating this absence of experience‚ I came to the realization

My Meaningful Song Do you have a song that has a deeper meaning then just another song that comes on the radio? Well I believe that most everyone does one way or another. For me that song happens to be Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival. The reason behind this is when I was younger and before he passed away my grandpa used to play this song on the guitar and sing it to me all the time. I would like to give a little background on my grandfather. At least what I remember of him because
