How To Write A Reflective Reading Response
Reflective Reading Response In the chapter, "Equal Sharing Problems and Children's Strategies for
Solving them" the authors recommend fractions be introduced to students through equal sharing
problems that use countable quantities because they can be shared by people or other groupings. In
other words, quantities can be split, cut, or divided. Additionally, equal sharing problems assist
children to create "rich mental models "for fractions (p.10). Prior to reading the chapter, I had no
idea that the strategies students use to solve fractions had names. Such strategies include: additive
coordination, ratio, repeating halves, etc.. I always referred to other strategies as inventive strategies
or the common "other way" to get the solution.

Personal Response to Emily Dickinson
"Write a personal response in relation to Dickinson's exploration of theme"
For me, the study of Emily Dickinson's poetry was the most memorable part of poetry this year.
The fact that all of Dickinson's poetry is highly personal and filled with meaning and sentiment
adds to the enjoyment of this renowned poets work. Dickinson is a highly elusive poet and we are
given the knowledge of Dickinson's sheltered upbringing but yet still it amazes me the fact that her
poems are still around to this day, one of the main contributing factors to this is down to the fact that
her themes are universal and are something everyone can relate to. A poem that's theme I found quite
thought provoking is "There 's a Certain Slant of Light". This poem...show more content...
The appearances seem to be neat but when you look deeply her life seems to be incomplete with
the hyphens peppered throughout her work. The repetition of "and" is a rush of words to try and
get her meaning off as quick as possible. There is sensory deprivation throughout the play. She only
feels and hears the funeral, does not see it. This could represent to a bad migrane. Only she knows
its there, everyone else is oblivious. The pain is so great it has aneschetized her senses. Imagery used
is aural. Dickinson is suffering from a catastrophic breakdown, and this once again highlights her
madness, the poems predominant theme. Dickinson uses enjanment to create a flowing effect
throughout her poetry, which shows she is rushed and doesn't follow rational poetic techniques,
she always ends her poems with either a hyphen or a question mark and this shows great confusion
amongst her poems and once again highlights her frail state of mind. "I felt a funeral in my brain"
is one of Dickinson's longest poems at 5 stanzas, her usual poems consist of 4 stanzas, this once
again shows the reader her madness and her deteorating state of mind. The rhyming scheme is
ABCB, it is imperfect rhythm and this is a good beat.
The final poem I would like to look at is " I taste a Liqour never Brewed". The once again universal
theme in this poem is Nature. Everyone can releate to it and this is the mitigating factor as to why

Poetry Response Essay
For the rewrite assignment, you noted that the poem is very circular, as there is not any evident
logical flow in my writing. After re–reading the poem, I agree. You instructed me to, "write this
poem as something that keeps moving forward in its philosophical exploration... Then, rewrite the
poem to about one and a half times its current length, moving it continually forward." I re–evaluated
the poem and removed some lines that I thought where unnecessary. I also increased the length from
twelve to eighteen lines. Further, I wrote philosophical progression into the revised poem; instead of
being random ramblings (which, ironically, might be the fate of this solipsist after he discovers what
he believes to be the truth), the poem now flows with...show more content...
However, the questions I ask about her double standards are worth examining (at least, worth it
enough to include it in the poem). Her infidelity in the face of claiming monogamy was one thing
that stood out to me during the relationship, so I included it in the poem. The primary critique
comes with the lines, "Sure, blame it on your friend Price cause she was "pressuring" you/But she
be cuffed with someone too? What kind of feminist are you?//She claims she's for monogamy
question it, that's misogyny/But how many real feminists use the booze as an apology?/I'm trying
to be constant but she is acting like it's different/If a man do it, he trippen', but a woman, she
indifferent." She initially blames her infidelity on peer pressure from her friend Price, who was also
cheating with some random guy at Bowdoin College, but this seems contrary to the empowering and
independent message of feminism. Should not one be able to make her own choices without being
controlled by others? Further, when her friends tried to justify her actions by mentioning the
possibility of alcohol involved, I could not help but consider the rejection of alcohol as an excuse
for men by feminists in similar

Short Response Questions
"A goal is a dream with a deadline," once said Napoleon Hill. What does a goal mean to you?
Personally, a goal is an objective you want to complete or achieve. Last year in 7th grade, I had
set the following goal: I want to improve my reading comprehension. I was very competent when
it came to writing essays , conversely, it was not the same when it came to reading comprehension
in general. I tended to get half of the multiple choice questions incorrect which affected my
average in ELA negatively. The score on my short response questions kept my grade from
decreasing dramatically. I was never able to fully understand the context that I was reading and
inevitably had to reread it twice in order to grab a concept of it. I wasn't as successful

You are confined only by the walls you build yourself, such a short phrase with an enormous

in it. I notice the continuous blank stare at my phone as I roam the halls of Florida International

After a few weeks, I decide that it is time to put my phone down and begin to make more

to start conversations I have urged to begin with my FIU peers and professors. I feel this explosion
of happiness as questions, conversations, and sign–up sheets are being thrown my way. To my
astonishment, these students are taking an interest in me because my eyes aren't locked to my
cellphone. Jessica Winter states "Instagram messes more with your sense of time" and I couldn't
agree more. I have been wasting precious time on social media that I can use to grow my circle
here at FIU instead. Filters and likes are all people seek on social media, but my thumbs and mind
take over me and give them what they want. This time it seems someone is letting me borrow a
spare key to unlock the handcuffs that chain my cellphone and I together. Sitting down in class, I
witness my professor coming through the door. He is ready to bring us new information that I
can't seem to understand sometimes. As our professor gets more in depth with our lesson, hands
are preparing to launch like a rocket ship. These students are ready to blast off with questions that
they plead answers for. I quietly say to myself that there is no need to raise my hand during class.

I agree with Danielle, that the writers audience is toward the people who are ruing the island by
logging. I think this because in the essay he tries to say that he has nothing against logging, logger,
or the logging industry, but he tries to say why can't we, while having a chance stop this. Also, the
author continuously throughout the essay talks about his love for the island and all its beauty and

Examples Of Reader Response Theory
Reader Response Theory Reader–response theory identifies the reader as an affective agent who
imparts real exist–ence and life to the work, completing its meaning through interpretation. Reader–
response criti–cism argues that literature should be viewed as art in which each reader creates his or
her own–most likely unique, text–related performance. I am using Wolfgang Iser and Stanley Fish's
takes on Reader Response for my study. Iser's Theory of Reception and Transactional Reader
Response Theory According to Iser, any literary text which is a product of the Writer's intentional
acts part–ly controls the response of a reader; however, this includes an abundance of gaps. In order
to comprehend more clearly, the reader must take action in active participation in attempting to
cre–atively fill these gaps with the given information of the test put before him; Thereby allowing
the Reader and the text to undergo a transactional process. Iser speaks of the Actual reader in
distinction to the Implied reader who is formed within a text and expected to react and respond in
specific ways to the response inducing structure of the text. The actual reader, however, is an
individual with its own personal experiences accumu–lated as baggage wherein responses actually
are continuously and inevitably changed...show more content...
What lies behind Fish's thinking is a strong view of the social construction of reality; as he firmly
believes that knowledge is not objective but always socially conditioned. All that one thinks and
knows is an interpretation that is only made possible by the social context in which one lives. For
Fish the very thought one thinks are made possible by presuppositions of the community in which
one lives and furthermore the socially conditioned individual, which all individuals are, cannot think
beyond the limits made possible by the culture. This culture is referred to by Fish as an interpre–tive

In particular, I wrote and rewrote a few rough drafts and also read through several peer review
sheets or comments left on the Google Doc itself. The peer edit sheets were extremely useful for
helping and correcting any mistakes because the other person could have different opinions on
how to improve the essay as well as being able to discover mistakes I probably accidentally read
over and did not notice it. Just as important were the self–assessment since that was most of the
revision part and leads to the final product. For example, before the first self–assessment, my essay
states, "However, the original novel already planned out the best beginning character personalities,
therefore changing the initial plan of the book is useless because it can backfire." After reviewing
the essay, I later wrote, "Changing the initial plan is useless because Tolkein already spent
countless hours thinking and trying to perfect the quest of Bilbo and the dwarves." The transition
aspect of the rubric improved my writing because it presented the expectation for how well the
essay is supposed to "flow" together and be more smooth to read. After the first assessment, I made
two more important changes after the peer review sheets. A major revision made was, "However, in

How To Write A Response Speech
Today I will be typing a response essay to a political speech. The political speech that I chose was
when Former President Barack Obama gave his last speech to the United Nations which happened
near the end of last year. Barack Obama stated in his speech that "Indeed, our International order
has been so successful that we take it as a given that great powers no longer fight world wars; that
the end of the Cold War lifted the shadow of nuclear Armageddon; that the battlefields of Europe
have been replaced by Peaceful union; that China and India stay on a path of remarkable growth." I
chose this quote because it shows examples of great things that have happened around the world. A
couple of things that should be pointed out is when Barack Obama was speaking in the YouTube
video it showed faces of other world Leaders and representatives from other country's it seemed
like they had mixed emotions about the speech some showed a facial expression of acceptance
some seemed in deep thought and others showed faces of concern. Also, the reasoning on why this
speech was given is because he was trying to convince fellow world leaders to work together and
to criticize those who seek a simple rejection of global integration. When the speech was over effect

Reflection On My English 101 Experience
Reflecting on My English 101 Experience I used to consider writing as tumble words from your
mind, write, read it through, fix minor mistakes, and done. However, you rarely get successful. The
truth is many students, including myself, struggle with starting to write a word, or getting stuck in
the middle without knowing the main point of the writing. After completing English 101, I can
explain the writing process, evaluate the strengths of my essay, and identify my weaknesses.
Throughout English 101, I learned that the following the writing process was imperative. Before
taking this class, I use to always skip the pre–writing step considering that it is just an easy and
unnecessary step. Consequently, I struggled to figure how to start writing, and most importantly I
struggled to figure out the main point while writing the draft. And then I finish the first draft close to
the deadline that I do not have time to read it not to mention revising. It was after I started this class
that learned that pre–writing is vital, and requires time and attention as it holds the base of the
whole writing. My professor used different analogies such as blueprint for building and map for
navigation to explain the importance. It really speeded up my writing after I started to utilize it. I
have learned outlining before, but part of the pre–writing that I was fortunate enough to learning in
English 101 is the writing triangle. Even before outlining, the topic, purpose, and audience of the

Emotional Response Essay
WEEK TWO I had not considered emotional history to a great extent before the seminar, instead
focusing on the 'everyday' aspect of infant mortality (IM). Dyhouse and Newton's articles presented
questions, including why concern over IM grew, and why males were stoic rather than expressing
emotion; something I had not acknowledged as part of Victorian mannerism, attributing it to the
patriarchies of the postmodern world. Questioning whether the sources used by Newton portrayed
true emotions or were merely presentations of such expanded my understanding, and presented
further questions. Can we truly understand past emotions when all we have is a representation and
cannot experience them the same way? I suggested that we can merely interpret the presentation of
emotion, not the true emotions of the past, however, I now acknowledge that there is something of a
perpetual emotional response (PER) to the death of infants, and that we are able to interpret the
past's emotions through this understanding....show more content...

Reflective Essay Of My Writing
Writing is something magical and a good way of expressing myself. To be honest, I never thought
that writing, and English as a subject would be this enjoyable. At the beginning of the semester, I
was scared and nervous because of my grammar. I actually thought that I would be one of the
worst students when I was placed in the class because I had very low confidence. This was mainly
because of the fact that English is my second language. To my surprise, the grade "B" that I scored
on my first essay made me proud of myself, and it helped rise my confidence. The fear and worry I
had at the beginning is now washed away because currently, writing has become my favorite form
of art. My confidence has risen, and I owe it to my English 101 class. That aside, I am going to
recognize the improvements I have made in my writing, and how far I have come as a writer during

She certainly succeeded in shocking her audiences with the unforeseeable twist that arose at the
end of the story. I did not expect the ending that I read. Even when I realized that the woman of
the family who drew the winning ticket was arguing against the winnings, I had not ever thought
that perhaps someone would die as a result. The fact that children were also allowed to participate
in the drawing is what really made my stomach churn. Jackson certainly provided a detailed
enough picture in such a few short pages to pull a physical reaction from me. I cannot rightfully
say that the story was a good one, but it definitely was brilliant. It still amazes me that an author
can write so descriptively and so intelligently that he or she can pull physical, mental, and
emotional reactions from the person reading the story. In this case, I had several reactions to the
story. Not only did I feel disgusted at how the community members were so eager to stone the
woman to death, I also felt a mind–numbing sensation at the fact that such violence and cruelty
closely mirrors our own modern society without the archaic practices. As a modern society, we cut
down the individual members of society in new ways. While we may not string them up to hang

conversation between the same people after they have decided to place that person in a nursing

children use computers have better academic skills than children who do not have access to this
device.
In a study in 122 children aged 3 to 5 years old, while doing the tests, the children used computers at
school and at home 3–4 times / week school readiness scores and learning than those who do not use.
Previously, some research suggests that computers help children more active, recognize letters and
numbers better. However, the relationship between the computer and language skills of children
remains controversial.
Effects The researchers also warned that children playing games is not good, and I rarely use
computer games, usually they like playing with toys or interact with friends.
Research results from 100,000 students in 31 countries around the world gave a surprising result that
the computer can cause children to become less intelligent and lazy.

best way to manipulate the general population. They used language that was extremely complicated
and unnecessary in order to control the way we think, talk, and act. Since no one had any idea what
these politicians were talking about; the only reasonable thing to do was to just listen and believe

Writing A Response Essay

  • 1. How To Write A Reflective Reading Response Reflective Reading Response In the chapter, "Equal Sharing Problems and Children's Strategies for Solving them" the authors recommend fractions be introduced to students through equal sharing problems that use countable quantities because they can be shared by people or other groupings. In other words, quantities can be split, cut, or divided. Additionally, equal sharing problems assist children to create "rich mental models "for fractions (p.10). Prior to reading the chapter, I had no idea that the strategies students use to solve fractions had names. Such strategies include: additive coordination, ratio, repeating halves, etc.. I always referred to other strategies as inventive strategies or the common "other way" to get the solution. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Personal Response to Emily Dickinson "Write a personal response in relation to Dickinson's exploration of theme" For me, the study of Emily Dickinson's poetry was the most memorable part of poetry this year. The fact that all of Dickinson's poetry is highly personal and filled with meaning and sentiment adds to the enjoyment of this renowned poets work. Dickinson is a highly elusive poet and we are given the knowledge of Dickinson's sheltered upbringing but yet still it amazes me the fact that her poems are still around to this day, one of the main contributing factors to this is down to the fact that her themes are universal and are something everyone can relate to. A poem that's theme I found quite thought provoking is "There 's a Certain Slant of Light". This poem...show more content... The appearances seem to be neat but when you look deeply her life seems to be incomplete with the hyphens peppered throughout her work. The repetition of "and" is a rush of words to try and get her meaning off as quick as possible. There is sensory deprivation throughout the play. She only feels and hears the funeral, does not see it. This could represent to a bad migrane. Only she knows its there, everyone else is oblivious. The pain is so great it has aneschetized her senses. Imagery used is aural. Dickinson is suffering from a catastrophic breakdown, and this once again highlights her madness, the poems predominant theme. Dickinson uses enjanment to create a flowing effect throughout her poetry, which shows she is rushed and doesn't follow rational poetic techniques, she always ends her poems with either a hyphen or a question mark and this shows great confusion amongst her poems and once again highlights her frail state of mind. "I felt a funeral in my brain" is one of Dickinson's longest poems at 5 stanzas, her usual poems consist of 4 stanzas, this once again shows the reader her madness and her deteorating state of mind. The rhyming scheme is ABCB, it is imperfect rhythm and this is a good beat. The final poem I would like to look at is " I taste a Liqour never Brewed". The once again universal theme in this poem is Nature. Everyone can releate to it and this is the mitigating factor as to why Dickinson's Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Poetry Response Essay For the rewrite assignment, you noted that the poem is very circular, as there is not any evident logical flow in my writing. After re–reading the poem, I agree. You instructed me to, "write this poem as something that keeps moving forward in its philosophical exploration... Then, rewrite the poem to about one and a half times its current length, moving it continually forward." I re–evaluated the poem and removed some lines that I thought where unnecessary. I also increased the length from twelve to eighteen lines. Further, I wrote philosophical progression into the revised poem; instead of being random ramblings (which, ironically, might be the fate of this solipsist after he discovers what he believes to be the truth), the poem now flows with...show more content... However, the questions I ask about her double standards are worth examining (at least, worth it enough to include it in the poem). Her infidelity in the face of claiming monogamy was one thing that stood out to me during the relationship, so I included it in the poem. The primary critique comes with the lines, "Sure, blame it on your friend Price cause she was "pressuring" you/But she be cuffed with someone too? What kind of feminist are you?//She claims she's for monogamy question it, that's misogyny/But how many real feminists use the booze as an apology?/I'm trying to be constant but she is acting like it's different/If a man do it, he trippen', but a woman, she indifferent." She initially blames her infidelity on peer pressure from her friend Price, who was also cheating with some random guy at Bowdoin College, but this seems contrary to the empowering and independent message of feminism. Should not one be able to make her own choices without being controlled by others? Further, when her friends tried to justify her actions by mentioning the possibility of alcohol involved, I could not help but consider the rejection of alcohol as an excuse for men by feminists in similar Get more content on HelpWriting.net

In the novel of the Pearl by John Steinbeck and The Treasure of Lemon Brown by Walter Dean Myers, both books are sad. The Pearl is about a man and a wife who are trying to get wealth but something bad comes in there way. The Treasure of Lemon Brown is about a kid which learns what life is.

  • 5. Short Response Questions "A goal is a dream with a deadline," once said Napoleon Hill. What does a goal mean to you? Personally, a goal is an objective you want to complete or achieve. Last year in 7th grade, I had set the following goal: I want to improve my reading comprehension. I was very competent when it came to writing essays , conversely, it was not the same when it came to reading comprehension in general. I tended to get half of the multiple choice questions incorrect which affected my average in ELA negatively. The score on my short response questions kept my grade from decreasing dramatically. I was never able to fully understand the context that I was reading and inevitably had to reread it twice in order to grab a concept of it. I wasn't as successful Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. A Strong Response Reflective Essay Strong Response Reflective essay You are confined only by the walls you build yourself, such a short phrase with an enormous meaning. Isolation is increasing immensely in my life since social media is taking such a huge roll in it. I notice the continuous blank stare at my phone as I roam the halls of Florida International University. It's like my social anxiety is a broken leg and my cellphone is my crutch. My cellphone brings me so much comfort, although I am comforted, I feel so disconnected with the world. Learning is much easier through social media websites. I am so anti–social not only around school, but with myself. Bringing me to the conclusion that social media is a negative impact in my daily life for more than one reason....show more content... After a few weeks, I decide that it is time to put my phone down and begin to make more connections. For the first time, I walk around Graham Center with a smile on my face. I am ready to start conversations I have urged to begin with my FIU peers and professors. I feel this explosion of happiness as questions, conversations, and sign–up sheets are being thrown my way. To my astonishment, these students are taking an interest in me because my eyes aren't locked to my cellphone. Jessica Winter states "Instagram messes more with your sense of time" and I couldn't agree more. I have been wasting precious time on social media that I can use to grow my circle here at FIU instead. Filters and likes are all people seek on social media, but my thumbs and mind take over me and give them what they want. This time it seems someone is letting me borrow a spare key to unlock the handcuffs that chain my cellphone and I together. Sitting down in class, I witness my professor coming through the door. He is ready to bring us new information that I can't seem to understand sometimes. As our professor gets more in depth with our lesson, hands are preparing to launch like a rocket ship. These students are ready to blast off with questions that they plead answers for. I quietly say to myself that there is no need to raise my hand during class. Out of the forty students, why would my professor choose me when I have a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Creative Response Essay Creative Response – Hunger Games Questions Quick note: I am not writing with my own person as a character in this. I found inspiration, rolled with it. Sorry. – [ 7 ]– " The train ride is smooth, and all the way there, I am left thinking of the event that will soon follow. I can't remember what hunger games I'm participating in. The number doesn't matter anymore, it's a sure fact I'm going to die, so I haven't held that much attention to it. It may be the 73rd. I don't know. All I can think of is home. Home life wasn't bad, even considering the expansive hours I spent in the forest, chopping down trees. I have a small amount of brawn, enough to be held as a proper competitor, I guess.

"I'm Leon Pyresmith, and I'm going to be your stylist." – [7] – Fast forward an hour or two, and I feel like something mystical, because I was dressed like something mystical. My face turns pink with a light brush as I look into the mirror, if you were to look at me now, you would see a tree spirit, a dryad. Not the sad boy who wanted to save a young life. It brought tears to my eyes, like many of the events that have happened today. My skin was shimmering, intricate designs painted on my face and over my arms and legs, the dark, robes that looked like leaves fell flatteringly over my body, not revealing, but flattering. It was so perfect, it didn't feel real. There's no way that the outfit could have been made to fit so well, to accommodate... everything different. Unless. I push the thought out of my mind – it's not important anyway. What's important, is that I feel incredible, I feel unstoppable, I feel like I could even possibly stand a chance in the games, and I...

  • 8. How To Write A Rhetorical Response I agree with Danielle, that the writers audience is toward the people who are ruing the island by logging. I think this because in the essay he tries to say that he has nothing against logging, logger, or the logging industry, but he tries to say why can't we, while having a chance stop this. Also, the author continuously throughout the essay talks about his love for the island and all its beauty and wanting to protect it. The author's organizational strategies. While reading the essay, I picked up on a few organizational strategies that the author used, those being: Problem–solution– Bill Reid proposes that the problem occurring is the logging of an island he loves, Windy Bay. He later on says that we could stop while we have a chance Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Examples Of Reader Response Theory Reader Response Theory Reader–response theory identifies the reader as an affective agent who imparts real exist–ence and life to the work, completing its meaning through interpretation. Reader– response criti–cism argues that literature should be viewed as art in which each reader creates his or her own–most likely unique, text–related performance. I am using Wolfgang Iser and Stanley Fish's takes on Reader Response for my study. Iser's Theory of Reception and Transactional Reader Response Theory According to Iser, any literary text which is a product of the Writer's intentional acts part–ly controls the response of a reader; however, this includes an abundance of gaps. In order to comprehend more clearly, the reader must take action in active participation in attempting to cre–atively fill these gaps with the given information of the test put before him; Thereby allowing the Reader and the text to undergo a transactional process. Iser speaks of the Actual reader in distinction to the Implied reader who is formed within a text and expected to react and respond in specific ways to the response inducing structure of the text. The actual reader, however, is an individual with its own personal experiences accumu–lated as baggage wherein responses actually are continuously and inevitably changed...show more content... What lies behind Fish's thinking is a strong view of the social construction of reality; as he firmly believes that knowledge is not objective but always socially conditioned. All that one thinks and knows is an interpretation that is only made possible by the social context in which one lives. For Fish the very thought one thinks are made possible by presuppositions of the community in which one lives and furthermore the socially conditioned individual, which all individuals are, cannot think beyond the limits made possible by the culture. This culture is referred to by Fish as an interpre–tive Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Literary Response And Analysis The revised LRA or Literary Response and Analysis is an example of mastery of Writing Standard 5 that is about listening to peers and adults and making edits and revisions. To begin with, one major revision made was improving and reworking the analysis to be more effective. On the original LRA response, it states, " If it wasn't for Beorn, the dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo probably wouldn't know what to do. Also, the crew would be starving and tired as well if Gandalf didn't know who Beorn is." After receiving constructive criticism from my teacher, edits from the analysis were made and now it states, " Therefore, if Bilbo and the dwarves did not encounter Beorn, they would not know how to stay safe or where to go. Furthermore, Beorn supplied...show more content... In particular, I wrote and rewrote a few rough drafts and also read through several peer review sheets or comments left on the Google Doc itself. The peer edit sheets were extremely useful for helping and correcting any mistakes because the other person could have different opinions on how to improve the essay as well as being able to discover mistakes I probably accidentally read over and did not notice it. Just as important were the self–assessment since that was most of the revision part and leads to the final product. For example, before the first self–assessment, my essay states, "However, the original novel already planned out the best beginning character personalities, therefore changing the initial plan of the book is useless because it can backfire." After reviewing the essay, I later wrote, "Changing the initial plan is useless because Tolkein already spent countless hours thinking and trying to perfect the quest of Bilbo and the dwarves." The transition aspect of the rubric improved my writing because it presented the expectation for how well the essay is supposed to "flow" together and be more smooth to read. After the first assessment, I made two more important changes after the peer review sheets. A major revision made was, "However, in the movie The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson, he had made Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. How To Write A Response Speech Today I will be typing a response essay to a political speech. The political speech that I chose was when Former President Barack Obama gave his last speech to the United Nations which happened near the end of last year. Barack Obama stated in his speech that "Indeed, our International order has been so successful that we take it as a given that great powers no longer fight world wars; that the end of the Cold War lifted the shadow of nuclear Armageddon; that the battlefields of Europe have been replaced by Peaceful union; that China and India stay on a path of remarkable growth." I chose this quote because it shows examples of great things that have happened around the world. A couple of things that should be pointed out is when Barack Obama was speaking in the YouTube video it showed faces of other world Leaders and representatives from other country's it seemed like they had mixed emotions about the speech some showed a facial expression of acceptance some seemed in deep thought and others showed faces of concern. Also, the reasoning on why this speech was given is because he was trying to convince fellow world leaders to work together and to criticize those who seek a simple rejection of global integration. When the speech was over effect started to take place where some country's...show more content... Also that Barack Obama gave his last speech to the UN late last year this is a large problem and he tried to convince other world leaders to form an alliance or some form of agreeable contract or something with other countries to prevent large problems like huge wars that could spread and become much worse than before.

Finally, let's just hope stronger agreements are made for specific countries to prevent any large war in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Reflection On My English 101 Experience Reflecting on My English 101 Experience I used to consider writing as tumble words from your mind, write, read it through, fix minor mistakes, and done. However, you rarely get successful. The truth is many students, including myself, struggle with starting to write a word, or getting stuck in the middle without knowing the main point of the writing. After completing English 101, I can explain the writing process, evaluate the strengths of my essay, and identify my weaknesses. Throughout English 101, I learned that the following the writing process was imperative. Before taking this class, I use to always skip the pre–writing step considering that it is just an easy and unnecessary step. Consequently, I struggled to figure how to start writing, and most importantly I struggled to figure out the main point while writing the draft. And then I finish the first draft close to the deadline that I do not have time to read it not to mention revising. It was after I started this class that learned that pre–writing is vital, and requires time and attention as it holds the base of the whole writing. My professor used different analogies such as blueprint for building and map for navigation to explain the importance. It really speeded up my writing after I started to utilize it. I have learned outlining before, but part of the pre–writing that I was fortunate enough to learning in English 101 is the writing triangle. Even before outlining, the topic, purpose, and audience of the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Emotional Response Essay WEEK TWO I had not considered emotional history to a great extent before the seminar, instead focusing on the 'everyday' aspect of infant mortality (IM). Dyhouse and Newton's articles presented questions, including why concern over IM grew, and why males were stoic rather than expressing emotion; something I had not acknowledged as part of Victorian mannerism, attributing it to the patriarchies of the postmodern world. Questioning whether the sources used by Newton portrayed true emotions or were merely presentations of such expanded my understanding, and presented further questions. Can we truly understand past emotions when all we have is a representation and cannot experience them the same way? I suggested that we can merely interpret the presentation of emotion, not the true emotions of the past, however, I now acknowledge that there is something of a perpetual emotional response (PER) to the death of infants, and that we are able to interpret the past's emotions through this understanding....show more content... The ruling classes had to maintain the empire, and as such, technocrats were forced to act to stop the population decreasing. The rise of working class consciousness (WCC) was a reason behind social reforms, as the elite wished to control their subordinates to a greater extent. I considered my own perception of IM after the seminar. With no experience of it myself, I was unable to determine whether a PER was entirely accurate, although I turned to examples I knew of. This brought my attention back to AriГЁs' 'attitudes to death' and the changes in death's perception between the Victorian period and Get more content on HelpWriting.net

How to Write 3 Paragraph Essay Responses How to write 3 paragraph essay responses Before you read: Take note of the title, the author's name and look to see if there is any biographical information on the author. Have you heard of this author before? You might want to Google him/her. Go on the internet to look over the periodical (publication) that the article came from. What do you already know about the subject, the publication or the website it came from? I recommend that you print out a hard copy of the reading.

(If your paper font doesn't look like these three styles, it is not formatted correctly.) Use the same font and size consistently throughout your paper– no big fonts for titles, no bold words for emphasis (or titles) and no fancy fonts for fun or to be cute. Underlines should only be used for titles of certain works, like books and movie titles. (Quotation marks should be used for titles of smaller works, such as articles, poems, song titles, and short stories.) The rules may vary depending on the work in question, so consult your instructor for any other concerns. Last name (2) Double space everything. Margins should be one inch all the way around the paper (go to "File" then "Page Setup"). Keep in mind not to add extra lines before or after a title or between paragraphs. In addition, remember to set a header, which is your last name and the page number on the top right hand corner of each and every page. There are plenty of other aspects to MLA format (such as use of numbers, quotes and citations) which we will discuss in the coming weeks.

  • 15. Reflective Essay Of My Writing Writing is something magical and a good way of expressing myself. To be honest, I never thought that writing, and English as a subject would be this enjoyable. At the beginning of the semester, I was scared and nervous because of my grammar. I actually thought that I would be one of the worst students when I was placed in the class because I had very low confidence. This was mainly because of the fact that English is my second language. To my surprise, the grade "B" that I scored on my first essay made me proud of myself, and it helped rise my confidence. The fear and worry I had at the beginning is now washed away because currently, writing has become my favorite form of art. My confidence has risen, and I owe it to my English 101 class. That aside, I am going to recognize the improvements I have made in my writing, and how far I have come as a writer during this semester.In the "Novice as Expert", Nancy Somme's and Laura Saltz argue that many students continue to rely on the "high school idea that academic success is reflected in good grades." I will admit that I was that student at the beginning of the semester. Due to that way of thinking, my grades were never as high as they should have been. For the past few weeks, that way of thinking has changed. I have learned to enjoy...show more content... I have learned to get out of my comfort zone, and identify my mistakes.

  • 16. Reader Response: the Lottery Reader Response #2: The Lottery "The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson and published in 1948. The title of the story initially leads readers to believe the story is going to be about someone winning some kind of prize. Even the opening of the story seems to protest any foul play or cruel behavior. What the reader is introduced to is a seemingly friendly gathering of a small village community, members all gathered around anxiously awaiting their drawing for the lottery. The village members all chatter amongst one another in a tone that kind neighbors would take with one another. To the surprise of the reader, the story provides a shocking twist. The story is not about someone winning a prize. Instead the story reveals...show more content... She certainly succeeded in shocking her audiences with the unforeseeable twist that arose at the end of the story. I did not expect the ending that I read. Even when I realized that the woman of the family who drew the winning ticket was arguing against the winnings, I had not ever thought that perhaps someone would die as a result. The fact that children were also allowed to participate in the drawing is what really made my stomach churn. Jackson certainly provided a detailed enough picture in such a few short pages to pull a physical reaction from me. I cannot rightfully say that the story was a good one, but it definitely was brilliant. It still amazes me that an author can write so descriptively and so intelligently that he or she can pull physical, mental, and emotional reactions from the person reading the story. In this case, I had several reactions to the story. Not only did I feel disgusted at how the community members were so eager to stone the woman to death, I also felt a mind–numbing sensation at the fact that such violence and cruelty closely mirrors our own modern society without the archaic practices. As a modern society, we cut down the individual members of society in new ways. While we may not string them up to hang them, we do string them up publicly for the purpose of cruelty and humiliation.

A Reading Response essay: * Summarizes what you read. * Gives your reaction to the text.

Or you could open with a dilemma or problem and then close with the solution. A different version of that is to re–tell the same story in the conclusion with a different (usually better) ending. Examples: * On an essay about cell phone use in cars, you could open with a scenario showing a person getting a call while driving and thinking about what to do.
