1. ”When his wife had died, Jurgis made for the nearest saloon, but he did not do that now, though he had his week’s wages in his pocket” (Sinclair 241). The significance behind Jurgis’ actions emphasizes his psychological growth as an individual as he is now able to control his urges in a dire situation. In addition, a crucial factor contributing to his self-control is realizing that his last physical remembrance of Ona is no longer here.…

Sonia Sotomayor is one of the most influential people who has ever existed. As the first Latina Justice to ever exist you may be wondering how do I have anything in common with her. Well you would be really surprised as her background was kinda normal. As a child with divorced parents, her early days were not as good as they could be. She worked hard to get where she is at now and in her autobiography she makes a whole bunch of really good quotes that can relate almost to anyone.…
The whole thing that occurred with Bernie was extremely weird and strange. If that happened to me I’d be worried about Bernie but I was glad when they checked up on him, Bernie seemed strange but was a pretty cool guy. As odd and strange as this book is, having the hearts being the last card is quite different but I feel that it adds a spark to the book and the story it makes it interesting. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year, I give Ed props for having a huge party at his place for all of his friends. Around Christmas you need to be with family and friends and that’s what he’s doing. That bet he had with Marv was hilarious, betting him to give the smelly Doorman a kiss is amusing. I can remember growing up I did stupid stuff…
Good afternoon senators, I Tim Kaine am here to talk on behalf of Virginia on the pending matter of DACA. As we all know DACA is an American immigrant policy which allows a two-year stay for some individuals who came into the U.S as minors, this allows them to obtain a work permit, driver’s license, the opportunity to go to college or university, and delay their deportation. DACA was established by our former U.S president Barack Obama back in June 15, 2012 during a speech in the Rose Garden of the White House, DACA now protects 800,000 illegal immigrants across the nation. In November of 2015 Obama tried expanding DACA to allow more immigrants to be eligible for application, although in December of 2015 Texas and 25 other states all with Republican…

After completing both my Investigative Field Essay, and Annotated Bibliopgaphy + Lit Review, I definitely felt more confident when it came to researching for reliable and credible sources for my rhetorical analysis paper but I was still confronted with obstacles. Although I now acquired this skill, this assignment shifted my work into analyzing information in a different medium. For example, for this assignment we had to pick two artifacts, and one of them had to be in the form of a video or image, something I had never worked with before in an essay.…

Throughout the process of writing this comparative essay, I felt that the most important task was to analyze and describe the conventions that separated the genres that were discussed. I organized my paper so that a reader with no knowledge of the genres would be able to read it and gain a basic understanding of both genres before I began contrasting the genres. By completing this essay I feel that I have obtained a sufficient understanding of the writing strategies that we first discussed in class. I am especially glad that we discussed how to read like a writer because I feel that reading analytically is one of my strengths and the class discussions helped me to understand my strength in this aspect. However, I feel that I still have much to learn in terms of establishing credibility because of I still do a poor job of incorporating sources smoothly in my paragraphs. In this specific paper, my paragraphs were clear and concise; I feel that readers would not be confused at any point of what my purpose is. My peers who reviewed my paper agreed that the strength of this essay was its clarity. The hardest part of completing this essay for me was picking two genres that could be compared in-depth and also finding examples to incorporate as evidence. The two genres I chose to write about in my project builders were bad examples to use and therefore I had to select new genres and examples to write about right before the first draft of the writing project. If I had more time, I would’ve spent more timing researching examples to use as evidence because I feel that my essay lacks in well-incorporated quotes. When it is time to edit this writing project for the final portfolio I plan to spend a lot more time finding reputable sources and using the right context to transition into the selected quotes without any awkwardness. As for feedback, I would like to ask how I could incorporate more sources without making my paragraphs go off topic or…

Writing is one of the learning outcomes. In order to satisfy this outcome I need to “[plan] and compose a well-organized thesis-driven text that engages with college-level material” (Weaver 2). I also need to “[develop] a flexible revision process that incorporates feedback to rewrite multiple drafts of a text for clarity” (Weaver 2). From my first writing assignment to my most recent assignment, I showed sufficient improvement in my ability to write. On Homework #2 the source review, I received twenty-three out of thirty. This was my first attempt on this type of assignment. Professor Weaver commented on my assignment and told me what I didn’t include to improve Homework #2. “The first line of a citation is NOT indented but…

In my in class essay, “My Chinese Red Shoes”. I learnt how to construct an essay. The structure of the essay should have five- paragraph. I chose to apply negative opinion regarding my tradition red shoes. I support my essay, by mentioning more than three cited quotes From Nguyen’s “ Goodbye to My Twinkle Day”. I learn to put page number of the quote in brackets, and the full stop goes out side of the brackets. “But it tastes like memory”(172). I also learnt to use the “ loaded sentence” to introduce the essay. I try to make my responds clear to each of the quote. I try to have only one cited quoted per paragraph.…
