Recommended: Find mistakes in essay

Learning about when and how to use commas in my writing project, I first read about commas on the Purdue Owl. According to the website, a comma splice “occurs when two independent clauses are connected with only a comma.” Also as I already said I had many mistakes and issues using verb tenses. For example, on paragraph four I wrote, “I think it is a very nice and a familiar place, and my father has many friend in Weston that can help me”. I noticed that I had many mistakes, starting with “I think” because I used in present. I corrected this sentence, I wrote “I started to explore on the internet about Weston, Florida. In my opinion Weston it’s a very nice and familiar place.”. Using this source https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/601/01

    The creation of political parties originally caused some conflict. Many people thought that they were evil. As time went on, the people warmed up to the idea, and characterizations of the Republican and Federalist parties began. The Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson, strictly interpreted the Constitution, but eventually, they loosened their views on the interpretation of the Constitution. On the other hand, Federalists held views on a loose interpretation of the Constitution, until they realized that a more strict interpretation could be a good thing.

  • Art Analysis: The KSU Owl And The Thinking Rock

    626 Words  | 2 Pages

    My journey began on a calm Sunday evening when I began searching for two art sculptures to observe. I walked out of the Convocation Center where I had just finished watching the Kennesaw State versus Troy volleyball game. I walked straight across the street to find The Thinking Rock sculpture sitting directly in front of me. I walked around and observed the entire piece, finding a wasp nest resting under one of the rock's ridges. I read the plaque that explained the rock is meant for you to stop and think about who you are, why you are here, and where you are going in life. I continued walking through the Campus Green where I observed colorful flowers, swaying trees, buildings I had never seen before, and students swinging in their hammocks. I stumbled upon the KSU Owl, which had three flags flying high directly behind the sculpture. I noticed the intricate details on the owl, from its sharp claws, to its beaming eyes.
