    Ruth’s occupation is also relevant because as a ghost writer she is in the shadows of the writing process but a very critical part of the process in itself. Although Ruth is not an actual ghost, she does act as one in the sense that she writes the material for a client who will take credit as the author. When she was younger, Ruth communicated between LuLing and Precious Auntie via writing in the sand with chopsticks, and as an adult she is still communicating others’ ideas through her writing (Dunick 12-13). This is significant to Ruth’s strength as a female writer in the sense that she “had never experienced such power with words” (Tan 78) considering women are often seen as weak and powerless. However, she refrains from using that very same…

    I never thought I’d be able to experience a college level course in high school and pass it with an above average grade, more than a “C”. It wasn’t easy though, the journey I’ve made from semester to semester has been a slow one and required more than half my effort and time. I’ve definitely grown not only as a writer but as a student overall through completion of several term papers and activities. As I reflect on this school year, I am thankful for enrolling and for the experience SUPA History has given me. The materials and objectives of SUPA History has given me the confidence to feel capable of meeting college standards upon my arrival to a university.…
