Ferris Personal Synthesis
Some thing that really caught my eye about this essay is the fact that even though it was a personal narrative he rarely used "I" or "me". Instead of actually going in to depth about his song choices, he uses a different approach and reflects it back in time. If I could borrow one aspect of this essay It would have to be the way Ferris really incorporates the music and the period of time the music was in to bring everything together. Also, something I liked was that Ferris used "we" a lot to relate back to experiences many people have had like him.

    On Keeping A Notebook Analysis

    One part of the essay "On Keeping a Notebook" that was fascinating to me was to see how a child that was given a notebook to keep her busy grew up with a notebook always by her side not to document her thoughts but to keep a record of what she saw. Somewhat, like stories about other people's lives. Anoher particular part was very heartwarming in the essay "Working at Wendy's," Joel had put his pride to the side to take care of his family, not asking his wife to stop attending school but put his life on hold to work at a fast food resturant that his child's peers and their parents go to eat. Lastly, in the essay "Graduation " Angelo the fact that "colored" people went to school was supprise but to only have a few schools after Jr. High was…

    Synthesis Essay: The Incredible Human Journey

    Paleontologists believe the entire human race descends from Africa. The earliest human remains were discovered there, this is why scientists believe “we are all children of Africa.” Archeologists discovered a human skull that is dated 195 thousand years old. No other remains remotely close to this age have been discovered anywhere else on the planet. Evidence suggests that the first human like species evolved around 400 million years ago from apes eventually evolving into homo sapiens, or more commonly know today as modern humans.…

    He describes a lot about the F train, which he often rode in and out of Manhattan. He described the diversity of people in New York City which he sees everyday on the train. One thing that I liked in the essay is the similar experience that I and Ian Frazier had. .I can relate to this because I myself take the F train and I see many people going different places. Coming in and out of the F train and get the similar feeling that Ian Frazier did in his experience.…

    iPod Characterization & Monologue

    1. Jack – Throughout chapter 16 and the snapshots, the readers notice that Jack and Abigail are becoming distant from each other. Eventually, Abigail leaves the family and doesn’t return for eight years. In those eight years, it is easy to imagine the pain and loneliness that Jack must have felt. This is why Adele’s song, “Rolling in the Deep” fits perfectly with Jack’s character. The song portrays the theme of rage, hate and also sends a message of revenge. Adele shows her feelings towards her ex-boyfriend after he cheats on her through this song. Similarly, if Jack had this song on his playlist, it would represent his feelings towards Abigail. He was cheated on by Abigail when she has an affair with Len. Later, Jack is betrayed when Abigail leaves him and the family during the most difficult time of their life. This song is upbeat, but brings a sad mood to the audience because of its lyrics. For example the lines, “You had my heart inside your hand and you played it to the beat” are repeated several times throughout the song. The lines can be interpreted as “You had control on my heart and you used it to your advantage.” Jack loved Abigail unconditionally, but Abigail didn’t feel the same. She was only thinking of herself while Jack was depressed due to Susie’s death. To conclude, Adele’s song, “Rolling in the Deep” relates to this section of the book through Jack’s character because it shows the abandonment and hatred he felt due to Abigail’s…

    My Synthesis Essay

    Performing arts has been an integral part of my life since I was six years old. I experimented with hip hop when I lived in Korea and fully embraced hula when I moved to Hawaii. I danced in the local hula studio throughout my time in high school which taught me the power of unity. The unity I am referring to is not the simple synchronized motions of the dance but the power in bringing together of different backgrounds and beliefs to tell one story in harmony. This type of unity is beautiful and impactful.…

    What I Learned In My Essay Starting English Composition

    The beginning essay, the autobiographical narrative, was actually an enjoyable start to the class. It was not an easy essay, but it also was not difficult. The only thing that troubled me was the topic of the essay itself. Seeing as how the event that I wrote about happened almost 6 years ago it was more than a moderate difficulty to remember what exactly happened. Thankfully, I did not have to document everything exactly at certain parts, because as Professor Thoenen had explained, it did not have to be a word for word documentation of what happened. Also, I discovered the…
