Tan Anecdotes
With all those intriguing anecdotes, we can see that Tan is never considered as a talented writer when she grew up, and what made she stand out is because she loves language. Mother tongue “shaped the way Tan saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world”, and it is also a treasure for us to find the root of ourselves, since it consists the tradition of a culture and the heritage of a family (Tan, 398). The spirit of Tan is not only applicable on writing, but also many other fields which right now may seemed as our weakness. Be confidence and have passion on doing what we loved.

    Tanning Bed Research Paper

    Akwasi, I had never thought about tanning bed usage being a type of addiction of behavior repetitiveness. That's an interesting point, as something becomes a habit we tend to just continue to do it without consciously considering any consequences of it. I didn't know about any possible issues with the DHA used in the sunless tanners either. That's another consideration we should take into account before deciding to use them even though they are considered at the levels used with them to be non-toxic and safe. I have used a sunless tanner occasionally in the past, but this will make me more alert to be continuously checking for updates of the safety of their usage. It is really eye-opening to see what a health risk tanning beds can be, alarming…

    Rabel's Classroom Literacy Analysis

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    Pat Mora's Why I am a Writer: Review

    The essay “Why I am a writer” from Pat Mora explains why the author loves to write. She enjoys reading books and through her writing she would like others to discover the same joy she feels when she reads a book. She loves writing because she can find out more things about herself and also describe them. Most importantly she is a Hispanic writer and wants to share her ideas and stories because she believes it is important for Hispanics to take part in literature.

    Examining Yourself as a Writer

    The art of writing is a unique skill that requires the writer to have great flexibility and be open to improvement. Some may consider themselves a “perfect writer”, when in reality, no one is, and will ever be. Writing is a process that requires one to continuously build on skills learned in previous situations, applying new techniques and strategies to future writing projects. Different settings require different writing styles, and with that being said, one must be willing to change their writing skills to suit the requirements of their current setting. In the following essay I will reflect on past writing assignments, identifying my best and worst writing courses, strengths and weaknesses as a writer, and my opinion on why writing may or may not be beneficial to me throughout my career.…

    Literacy Autobiography

    So everything—my reading, writing, and other experiences— started with my birth on October 6, 1996; well okay, not really—it didn’t start with my birth. They, my reading and writing experiences, started with preschool, which is the same for most people. These two skills are an integral part of my life; I use them almost every day. However, that doesn’t mean I have to like both of them. I did not like reading very much then, writing even more so; essays and paragraphs and essays and some more essays were painful. My writing skills, to say the very least, were not very developed. As time passed, however, my views toward writing and reading began to change and my ability to write evolved. My reminiscing begins with preschool and there, my first encounter with writing.…

    Relationship with Writing.

    I believe that I got my writing skills and passion from my mom. Growing up, my mom worked at a job that needed her to write professional letters and keep journals on the activities occurring in her work place. I remember at one point, figures above her in the ladder of work were asking her to write letters for them. My mom, only having a high school education, inspired me to really look at writing as not just a task but a hobby. When I asked her to read my essays to see if it was any good, she would be honest and really took the time to help me fix it. This very well might be the reason I enjoy writing. The only time I had ever doubted that writing was necessary was high school. My senior year was harsh with essays and writings. I lost track for some time the impact writing had had on my life because so much was being ask out of me and it wasn’t enjoyable anymore. You could say I broke up with writing for a while. Shortly after high school, our relationship was restitched and now we are going strong.…

    mother tongue

    In Tan’s only life, she gets a lower English score on SAT because her mother tongue limited her ability to find out the connection between those English words. Her teacher thought she should study math or engineering since her math score is better than her English score. Amy Tan says the purpose of her writing is to let more people understand her mother tongue. She ends the passage by saying that she has already published a book, “The Joy Luck Club”, and her mother thinks that book is “very easy to understand”(259).…
