For the remaining days, I reached the reading room 15 minutes before time. The alarm reminded me to review my class notes only two evenings, which means that I succeeded in ...

The poem “The Martyr” by Herman Melville has left a deep impression on me. It influences the reader from the very first line creating the morose setting and gloomy atmosphere. Furthermore, the author is trying to dip the reader in the times of Jesus Christ taking us back to that dreadful day, when He was crucified. From the very first look in is clear, that the martyr is a simple embodiment of the God’s son because the action of the poem takes place on the Good Friday, the most horrible day in the Bible.

It is scarcely possible to describe the history of music without reaching the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart is well known and celebrated as being one of the greatest composers and musicians in recorded history, and for good reason.

It is an ostensibly light-hearted fairy-tale opera that served as a convenient introduction to the genre and continues to ...

The development of English literacy instructional programs has provided teachers the opportunity to inculcate ‘English Literacy Learners (ELLs)’ with appropriate strategic models. Literacy instructional models now embrace an appreciation for cultural diversity. In terms of linguistic variety brought to schools, the concept engages learners to excel in reading, writing, and generally to grasp an appreciation for language diversity in literacy. John McWhorter explains that “growing up in America” advances the notion that any English dialect veering away from the so-called ‘good’ English spoken on TV news programs represents “evidence of grungy mitts” leaving filthy prints on the sanitized “formica ...

Background of the Study

A useful lesson to illustrate a major pedagogical theory in education involves a close reading lesson given in the ninth grade English class. Many high schools English teachers report that their students lack the skill of reading a passage, whether fiction or non-fiction, and successfully draw inferences and figurative meanings or even critically analyze the readings. These figurative meanings are crucial to understanding the rhetorical argument of the piece, making this a vital skill. Furthermore, writing is also as complex a learning activity as reading that fosters the act of critically arranging the words to make perfect ...

Scientific articles are the heart of the science community. They are the main medium through which scientist interact. Scientific articles include; primary research articles and review articles. These papers have six main sections which include: abstract, introduction, materials, methods, results, discussion and finally references.

The greatest puzzle about reading these articles is that one question unlocks as many questions as possible. This trend makes them self-discovery. Thus, I find myself reading the scientific articles quite often with the aim of designing my relevant research project.

When reading “Drawing the Color Line” I found it interesting that historians thought the first blacks in Virginia were thought of as servants and not slaves.

The settlers couldn’t readily make the Indians work even though they had firepower at their disposal; they were outnumbered and it wouldn’t solve their labor issues. It was ...

For instance, one important bit is the stage memory model that consists of three major stages. This model lured my attention greatly because I was able to comprehend the transition of information from the visual organs into the brain system.
