A Light Bulb Moment

What is a light bulb moment? A light bulb moment can mean a sudden inspiration, revelation, or recognition. There many moments in life that bring on an light bulb moment. I get numerous moments where the light bulb goes off and i think of something. That will work well with my originality. These ideas started just as i began to write. "Ah! Now I see" i suddenly realized that this was an immediate light bulb moment for me as I thought of what to write. I Literally just got a light bulb moment just while I'm preparing to work on this English assignment. Also understanding new and difficult concepts can be very frustrating for me.
Through Writing it helps in providing therapeutic benefits for me to be able to express myself. Writing about my experiences and by getting a chance to express many of my thoughts that can be read by many. But It also helps to improve my writing abilities. This course was different than what I expected. I expect from myself that i write a paper that brings a message across and can be proud of. Keeping many of these improvement in mind helps me to acknowledge that these changes have and will affect my writing in other classes. I will use this knowledge that i have gained from this class and from my English Professor Ms Crawford in the future as well. I will continue to build onto these new methods. I am more open to new ideas which that of what I've learned. As a high school student a essay must come more tight and rigid in its structure. I'm glad that I was present for the light bulb moments in which it help for me to make these connection

    An incandescent bulb consists of a filament, which today is made of a wire of tungsten, and Anchor wires, which hold the filament in place. Also a flare, Which has two red wires that run through the to the base of the bulb to the filament, and an exhaust tube as well, which is a space where air is sucked out of the bulb to create a vacuum. It would also include a glass bulb, which is a base to help screw light bulbs into lamps and light fixtures, and last lead wires which carry electricity to the bulb from a power plant. (Wallace). If there was a piece of metal in a lightbulb, and if energy was passed through it, it would become hot enough to glow and then melt. A solution to the problem of it burning is to surround the inside with a vacuum, as nothing can burn without oxygen. The…

    The Lamp at Noon

    • 738 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In the following I am analyzing the short fiction “The Lamp at Noon,” Written by Sinclair Ross. This is a short story involving a couple in the midst of a dust storm while living on a farm. This couple is currently in hardship since their crops and animals are suffering since the land won’t grow. The land is the only thing this small family has. Looking deeper into the specifics, this passage that was given is a vital turning point in the story. The point where this passage takes place is when the husband Paul realizes that his wife may be right in regards to the argument they were having. This is a very important portion of the passage since right before this scene Ellen and Paul were arguing over moving back to the city so they could make a living, while Paul wanted to stay and try and harvest crops even with the horrible storms that have been happening. During this passage you see that Paul has a sort of epiphany into the words that Ellen was saying, and goes into detail about the noises he was hearing. The choices of words the author uses are intriguing and show his style, which I will discuss later in this analysis, along with his other choices of structure. One of the concepts of this passage that show that he is a great author is the key words used into really seeing the moment when Paul realizes Ellen may be right.…

    When the semester began I thought to my knowledge that my writing was that of good quality. Though I had a good basic understanding of the format of an essay or letter I still had a lot to learn.

This Class not only helped enhance my writing abilities but to also better evaluate the writings of others and forced me to acknowledge the rigorous work of future courses in college.…

    Writing has always been a way to express things in a way that is more creative and exploratory than just talking out loud. With words you can paint a picture better that Picasso could ever dream of. With flowing sentences that swiftly swallow the mind in an array of shrouded mystery that boggles most but the unknowing souls that know not what they know but who they know. With a well constructed array of words and of phrases that coherently make sense you can do wonders.…

I know now that, through hard work and determination, I can achieve what I might think to be impossible. While reflecting back on my initial writing abilities, I see the weak, uneducated style of writing. Each essay shows my progression and improvement, and, after a while, the class began to become much easier.
