In fourth grade, I discovered two very important aspects of writing which have served me well for many years. The first was to pay attention to the finished product. Check and check again before you consider it finished. Secondly, sophisticated writing uses commas, semi-colons, colons, and dashes along with conjunctions. My family relocated the summer before my fourth grade year. I had to leave behind my friends and, more traumatically, my cat; therefore, I was sullen and disinterested
Jonathan Swift in his “Modest Proposal” introduces a problem of poverty to his audience. The purpose of writing this piece is to warn the audience about some major problems. This piece is generally directed towards the general people because he doesn’t specifically direct it towards anyone in particular. The main issue that Swift proposes is that there is a serious issue going on with poverty and it’s causing many people to starve. By using personal examples such as writing in person, he demonstrates
world have written successful arguments through their own creative reasoning, evidence, diction, and tone. Writers Cornel West and Jonathan Swift are only two of the many authors who have done so. West, in his book Race Matters (1993), argues that Americans need to stop viewing African Americans as the “problem people” and instead view society as a whole. Swift argues for a similar idea in his essay A Modest Proposal (1729), by writing a satirical solution. He argues that Ireland needs to stop

Before I enrolled in composition my writing was limited to what I learned in high school and in the Foundations of Academic Writing 1 and 2. Firstly, my writing and sense of writing has drastically changed since the beginning of the semester. My writing has changed for the better in several different dimensions; for instance, my research, creativity, grammar, and essay structure have all improved. Secondly, my reading has also improved in several different aspects; for example, I have learned to
previous essays, I never realized that considering my audience would have a great impact on the outcome of my paper. Now, as soon as I get a topic for an essay, I always consider what type of audience I will be writing to and what kind of approach I should take on it. During the process of writing my essay, I always look back at my checklist to make sure I am staying on topic. Additionally, I check to make sure my paper is flowing the correct way. Another class activity that helped me was peer review
Graphics into Your Writing My advice for students about integrating texts and graphics would be to figure out how to combine them most appropriately for what you want to convey, whether it be an informational article or a creative story. In most cases, especially in technical writing, the main purpose of graphics is to explain something faster or organize the information better. Last spring in technical writing, we focused a lot on how to use our graphics in our final proposal to add to the written
class after two years outside of formal education was an essay writing course I was both excited and apprehensive. Writing, especially essay writing, is something that has never come easily or naturally. Trudging through AP English classes, creative writing and business emails I try to articulate myself and appeal appropriately to my readers. It is no secret writing is an indispensable skill in the business world from resumes, to proposals to presentations and just as fundamentally important to the
Groups were assigned by professor and consisted of diverse students with various backgrounds. Our first task was writing group contract which involved participation of all group members and required closer contact among students. Tuckman’s Group Development Stages model can be used to show how our group worked together, as our ‘4U’ team had gone through each stage. Example of the forming stage was the first meeting when all group members tried to be polite and asked questions, such as ‘what is major
parties should try to put themselves in the other's place. The parties should not simply assume that their worst fears will become the actions of the other party. Nor should one side blame the other for the problem. Each side should try to make proposals which would be appealing to the other side. The more that the parties are involved in the process, the more likely they are to be involved in and to support the outcome. Emotions are a second source of people problems. Negotiation can be a frustrating
