Differences Between Jekyll And Hyde
The Jekyll and Hyde paper that was written in February was not without it’s faults. My weaknesses in the paper included some word choice as well as continual repetition of the same ideas. I also made some minor mistakes in italicization and spacing in the title of the paper. In addition, my works cited page had it’s flaws with indentation. Although there were these mistakes, most of my paper was written rather well. My citations were written well in their MLA format and my in text citations were typed almost without fault, besides a minor year confusion regarding the movie. While my writing isn’t the absolute best, I believe it to be very well spoken and directly answering the prompt I am given. I hope to further broaden my vocabulary and

    In the novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, although Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde are of the same body, they have completely different personalities, as well as completely different physical appearances. While Dr. Jekyll “‘is a tall fine build of a man” (Stevenson 45), Mr. Hyde is described as “pale and dwarfish” (19). This contrasts the stature of both men. Dr. Jekyll is written to be tall, and Mr. Hyde short. The author writes Dr. Jekyll as having a “large handsome face” (24), yet creates a grotesque image for Mr. Hyde by giving him “an impression of deformity” (19) and “a displeasing smile” (19). These two men are written to be extremely different, not only in nature and appearance, but also…

    The doctor scoff down the strange concoction. Suddenly pangs of uneasiness and pain rush through the doctor body stringing him along. A change of deformity had occurred.

    Duality can be seen in The picture of Dorian Grey as well as Thomas Hardy’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Vernon Lee’s Dionea. All of these texts present the good and evil in each character and the duality of human nature. Duality can be seen in Dionea as she seems to embody both opposing aspects of duality. When she arrives washed up onto the shore of the small village, she was between life and death, this duality continues when the village people both admire and pity her as she is both civilised and a savage, she is also viewed by the village people in having a negative influence on the girls who surround her. More importantly, Dionea was associated with white pigeons that used to constantly surround her. White symbolises purity however, pigeons…

    After a year of focused work in English 250, I feel that I have developed the skill to articulate what I want to convey to the reader in multiple ways. My strengths as a reader have also definitely improved after reading the material we had this semester. We discussed several different aspects of the English language and spent a good amount of time this semester perfecting our ability to write rhetorical analyses. Doing so allowed us to focus a lot of our time on the WOVE method of communication and become better communicators.…

    I can easily relate to your response, especially when you discussed writing about boring topics in elementary school. In writing, I like to be able add my own creativity, opinion and twist on things. One of the many reasons why I dreaded preparing for the STARR test every year, because there is no way to fit a well developed essay in twenty-six lines. Besides that, I am fond of reading your point of view regarding Eva Hoffman. Even though, I cannot imagine moving to a foreign place, I can imagine what those individuals have done to fit in. High school is strenuous, and I think everyone has said or done something just to fit in. Your response was well thought out and I enjoyed reading your perspective. Keep up the great work and have a great…

    Two years ago, I would say nothing in particular provokes me about writing. I would rather spend my valuable time on presentations or discussions than writing research papers. I always found myself was lost. I couldn’t focus on the content of my prompt. I failed to make my words convincing and authoritative. I am not a good researcher, also not an outstanding rhetorical writer, even today, but I did find something valuable on myself in these two years.…

    Why I Hate Writing

    On the first day of class, Dr.Ruiz wrote six questions on the board and the last question asked for our perspective on writing. My answer to this question was “I hate writing.” I’m an English Learner who came to the U.S. 5 years ago with no knowledge in English. Therefore, writing is not a likable assignment due to my lack of English skills and I did not have confidence when I wrote in English because I had a fear of people’s judgment about my English. Therefore, I was not an advanced writer when I enrolled in WRI 001. Nevertheless, I have grown substantially since beginning of the semester as a reader, writer, researcher and thinker.…

    Throughout the year, my writing has had significant improvements, compared to where I began. First, I began this semester fairly confident in my writing abilities. I thought that I had a strong grasp on writing concepts that include: transition words, literary devices, proper grammar techniques, correct paper writing format. In contrast, I felt that I began the year with a weak vocabulary, which has always been one of my weaker areas, If I were to rank myself on day one of class, without knowing all of the material we were going to cover, I would rank my writing skills an eight out of ten.…
