Introduction
“The Joy of Writing”, a poem by Polish poet, essayist and Nobel Laureate Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) is an engaging piece that uses vivid images and everyday language to provide new meanings about the creative art of writing. The poem seems to centre on three questions about a commonplace character, related images created with written words and setting. The poem mentions of a doe that hounds the woods in order to drink water from a spring and lifts its head on hearing some ominous sounds. The initial images that Szymborska uses on paper as a writer using her mind and pen set her ...

Creativity may be defined as the novelty, originality, and appropriateness to bring uniqueness on a given element. Novelty and appropriateness are the major elements that get used to define creativity. A creative person is a person with fair routine of producing creative results. This means that he or she has to be original all the time he or she intends to make a presentation. For an element to be regarded to as creative, the idea that has been used must be new. This allows people to appreciate and use the existing forms of writing in the best way.

Written creativity may ...

And the same thing happened. The Taj Mahal is not only the tomb of the Mumtaz Mahal, but it was an opening for those who love nature and beautiful places. The Shahjehan has made many other ...

I was fourteen when I first heard of the “F” word. I was walking down the street to a friend’s house when a man standing by the corner suddenly said it to my face. This happened in the UK where I was taking up an English course. I did not know what the word meant, but by his facial expression I knew that it was nothing good. At this time, I was just starting to learn English, and the word did not appear in the textbooks. ...

Ever since I was born, I have been told that English is an important language to master. Unfortunately, being young and careless, I did not register the importance of it right away. When I was in middle school, my parents would drop me off for an extra English tuition after classes, or they thought they did. I was quite rebellious and most of the times I would simply pretend to go up the stairs and then snick to a nearby arcade with friends once our family car drove out of sight. I was perfectly content with the way things were ...

In the article “99.9% of Proper Grammar is Obsolete” the author discusses the changes in communication that have taken place as a result of the web. The formal methods of writing English are slowly and gradually disappearing. This was not noticeable at the time the article was published in 2003. Formal documents such as mainstream publications still use the correct sentence structure, and are free from grammatical errors. But this is not the case for documents and conversations taking place outside the boundaries of mainstream documents. In today’s world, where creativity is the order of ...

In today’s fast-paced, technological world, texting has changed the way we communicate in a very fundamental way. To that end, many are worried about what the effect will be on those who choose to communicate primarily through texting – some worry that we are losing the nuance and complexity of real communication as a result of the need to truncate our words and phrasing into short bursts of instant information. Others, however, believe that texting has actually been a boon to teenagers and adolescents, who are typing and writing more than they ever have ...

At the beginning of the semester in this English 101 course, I expected that I will be able to develop and improve different aspects of the English language such as reading, writing, speaking, pronunciation and grammar (Nunan and Lockwood 2). I am particularly hoping to enhance my writing skills and grammar. At the end of the semester, I also aimed to develop other skills such as understanding the details of conversations, pronunciation and deeper analysis from reading for gist and how to use the English language more fluently. One of the strengths I have learned is the proper sentence ...

First sender thinks of some message(s), it can be thought, information, idea or feeling. Secondly, the sender sends the message to the receiver. Lastly, receiver receives the message and decodes it. Moreover, communication is broadly divided into two modes of ...

This portfolio represents the changes that learning this course of English has brought in my writings. Prior to taking UWP1, I thought that writing an essay is a simple process of organizing thoughts and writing them down neatly. It was not until the beginning of this quarter that I realized my previous concepts towards writing were very naïve. The course introduced me to a variety of essay genres such as literacy narrative, rhetoric analysis and research blog, which I had hardly touched on before. I was first terrified at the complexity of genres and speech of tones correlated with various ...

1. Some facts of Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde’s biographies are surprisingly similar: they both had elder brothers and younger sisters, both lived in Chelsea, Britain (though, under different circumstances and in different times: Edgar studied in a boarding school in 1817, and Oscar moved there in 1879 to establish a writing career). Also, both became estranged from their parents: Poe over his gambling debts during his university studies and Wilde due to his charge of "gross indecency" for homosexual acts. Both authors first started to write poems and both have the volume titles “Poems”, however they then moved ...

Both Ibn Batuta and Marco Polo were famous world explorers at their respective times – about a generation apart. However, the travels of Marco Polo preceded those of Ibn Batuta by a couple of decades. Therefore, in that respect, the worldview of the both the travelers are not that different since both saw more or less the same period in history. This essay shall compare the travel accounts of both these travelers and argue that the travel accounts of Marco Polo are historically more reliable than those of Ibn Batuta.

One can examine the focus of the travel writings of both ...

The sexual anomaly in this book is masochism. This was a new category in the sexual perversion. This kind of sexual perversion was very rare during the time of the writing.

People however related to these strange sexual desires (Leopard, 1).

One such case described a man who wanted to be a slave to his lover. The other ...

Entering into this class, I did not feel as though I had any real strengths as far as writing was concerned. Writing was never something I was particularly concerned about-- I knew I was never going to be a great writer, so I just ignored the process of writing and of learning how to write and just got through the process as best I could. I never spent any real time learning how to write or learning what it took to be a good writer. Although I enjoy reading, I would never say it is one of my main hobbies, ...

Analyze and Discuss “I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King, pp 334 in The College Writer: Please write a 200- 250 word analysis of Martin Luther King's famous speech “I Have a Dream” pp 334 in The College Writer.

The speech that touched the world, this is how some critiques of Martin Luther King’s speech put it when they heard the overall context of what the speech was about. The reason behind this reaction is basically because of the fact that his speech tends to talk about the most controversial issues primarily centered on the distinct course of discrimination among races that existed in America during his time. The assumption to which his speech has been based on could be strongly related to how humans thrived to make ends meet amidst the oppressions they were experiencing from ...

Humor in E.M. Forster’s “My Wood” E. M. Forster in his essay “My Wood” writes about a serious subject that it is clear from his writing he believes strongly in—he is writing about the negative affect of materialism on society and on the individual. Yet instead of decrying materialism, as bad and making people with a lot of material processions feel bad, he writes humorously. The whole essay is enjoyable to read, which is a compelling way to make a point. He uses a variety of humorous techniques that make his essay enjoyable to read. These techniques will be pointed ...

Thomas King’s 1993 novel Green Grass, Running Water is not written like a typical narrative novel, with a beginning, middle and end. Instead, the work functions as a strange, compelling mixture of myth and fictional anthology, with a series of concurrent stories being told at once. King’s incredibly deft handling of this mixture of stories, which runs the gamut from outright myths to Judeo-Christian creation stories to tales of the everyday, creates a style that sits somewhere between Indian oral tradition and Western fiction literature. This allows for a unique exploration of the way these two cultures mix, the yearning of Aboriginals to ...

Media writing and management, deals with the means, methods, channels, and mediums of communication. Today, organizations I believe are provided with large number of options, and they need to select the best ones out of it, in order to convey their messages to their targeted people, and that too within the given time (Duchessi & Biswas, 2013). There are certain principles and essentials, upon which these channels and means of media writing and communication function, which the organization needs to, learn and understand (Nylund, 2013).

Mass communication in my view, actually refers to communicating information to several large segments ...

I have gained both skills and vast experiences in writing in my course. The diversity of the course in the application has further improved my writing process, which helps in self-evaluation and self-identification of my capabilities. First, the interview assignment on environmental engineering course helped in understanding the required skills, education, experiences and expectations. I found out that the majority of employers on the field opt for human personnel with great passion and vision for the environment, in relation to the application of scientific knowledge and engineering skills. In such interviews, confidence, background information and versatility are integral components ...

Analysis of arguments in a piece of writing requires excellent knowledge of the different combinations of accounts present in the text. Such evaluations call for clear integration of facts derived from the different perspectives depicted by the characters in the text. For instance, Michael Pollan’s “Big Organic” from The Omnivore’s Dilemma presents numerous accounts of a phenomenon. The writer demonstrates excellent skills in the linkage of rhetorical devices. As a matter of fact, he is able to base the whole writing on first person perspective with aspects of disagreement with or against other minds. Fundamentally, an advanced understanding of a ...

Discovery of one’s own inner self has been the key theme of many tales and has remained as a learning lighthouse for centuries. Whether it is the darkness spread by the social evil in a society or it is the emotional context between several aspects of life that depict love and happiness, the eyes of a writer or a poet capture it. Therefore, the picturesque imagery of a life impacting theme cannot be as good depicted by a writer because it allows a self-learning experience without facing those hardships and moments of oppression. This paper will look into the experiences as adapted from The Grace ...

The act of communication has changed over the years due to the changes in technology. Advancements in technology over the past decades have affected how people in the society pass information and how they communicate amongst each other. The rules of communication that were applied fifty years ago are no longer applicable in this day and age. The use of mobile phones, computers and laptops has changed the way people communicate in this century. Back in the days, such materials were not available neither had they been invented. Communication between friends and family members had been narrowed down to ...

Writing is a means of expressing oneself through the use of words. Writing is a means of communicating ideas and thoughts to a wider audience. In addition, writing allows individuals to pass along the history and culture of a race or generation. Writing is used to entertain, inform, persuade, and educate. Personally, writing is often a difficult task for me. I find writing in any form is challenging as in order to produce articles of a high standard, I have to research on the topic that is at hand. In many cases, the topics are unfamiliar and because of this I have to a lot of ...

I think that the most important aspect of proposal writing that I leant from the course was that first impression is key.. On the project ...

The essay is about hip hop music and its impact on society is very interesting in terms of its insights. The essay clearly documents the effects of hip home musing especially on the young generation from a seemingly unbiased point of view. The writer of the essay also seems to be very knowledgeable as far as hip hop music is concerned. This can be deduced from the fact that the writer can give a statement about the effects of hip hop music especially on the young listeners of this genre of music and proceed to give examples of not only songs ...

Throughout my education, I have noticed that writing has become my passion. Books developed my desire for analysis, discussion and collision of arguments. However, the difficulty to shape my thoughts and reflections lead me to enroll in a rhetoric course. This course offers learning of the skills to analyze and find the gist of the read material. Apart for that, the rhetoric course increases the level of vocabulary, structured writing, and usage of proper citation.

One of the most difficult things is defining and structuring the paper. There are so many ideas, and I find it difficult to separate them ...

Being able to communicate in a diverse range of contexts and tones is what has separate humans from animals. Writing is a very important skill to learn. From emails, to writing letters to a boss, a significant other, or writing a cover letter for a job, writing, like verbal language is a way to communicate. Being able to get to the central thesis of an argument, of being able to understand what another person is saying and why, and how they are proving their premises, is important of anyone interacting with the world.

Introduction

As a writer, I have come to appreciate the exciting and lifting moment when my mind connects with the thoughts of another, through his or her piece of writing, which enriches the my experience of the world and the area of study. Further, it is because I – don’t only – get the opportunity to read the author’s piece, but I also get the chance to explore his or her true intention through the language and the literary devices employed. The overall purpose of the writer, about the piece they are writing, determines the techniques they adopt, as ...

In my internship working with a financial advisor, I have had the chance to apply some of the theoretical knowledge gained in class. Like in most other professions, many challenges abound in this career. In this write-up, I analyze how my internship profession is represented in a news article entitled “Millionaires Lose Sheen for Financial Advisers”, which was published by “The Economic Times” on 22 November 2013. The article does not offer encouraging news for those going into the profession of financial planning.

In the article mentioned above, the text’s author implies that financial advisors have not been ...

A comparison of the poems “A Narrow Fellow in the Grass” by Emily Dickinson and “The Slave’s Curse” by John Whitman

Emily Dickinson and John Whitman are two prominent figures in American literature. Both poets are considered innovators of poetry as their ways of writing, although different from one another in various aspects, inspired people to write by following their own style and unique way of expressing themselves. Also, their forms of writing showed a departure from the British model which was traditionally used by most poets of the 19th century and gave birth to what is ...

Summary of Politics and the English Language

George Orwell has criticized the contemporary English prose due to its inaccurate and disgusting usage of language. He has argued that language does not get shaped by us for our use rather it is shaped by the modern prose which is ugly as the manner in which we think is inaccurate. Language has become the result of ‘foolish thoughts’, rather than ‘foolish thoughts’ being the result of language. Also, he said that being vague is the clearer characteristic of the English Language style. Due to lack of imagery, the figurate ...

When anthropologists write about events that happen on the field or about a particular society, they would provide as much information as possible on the written text. From the example in Geertz’ essay about Cohen and the Berbers and how he was able to get his ar in the form of a large number of sheep (Geertz, 8), the reader learned who the robbers and rebels were, what ar was, how was it taken, what the political situation was at that time with the French officials, and what the punishments were in those times. Geertz mentioned that the event was told ...

Introduction

Adam Smith is one of the most revered economists that influenced the development of modern economic thought. Adam Smith is famous for coining the term “the invisible hand of the market” which is the perfect metaphor for market movements driven by supply and demand. However what makes Adam Smith’s thinking unique is how it ties is yet contradicts the teachings of great thinkers ahead of him such Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas on their ideas of wealth accumulation and self-motivation. He also thought similarly but contrasted with his contemporaries such as Bernard Mandeville.

Adam Smith was a Scottish ...

My earlier studies prior to taking communications course provided me with communication experience. However, I did poor presentations and wrote poor essays and worst of all; I did not speak or write with assurance. The communications management course has proved beneficial to learn and understand speaking and writing skills (via email or in person) necessary for any management profession at all levels and in any industry, with respect for the receiver and any business situation. My communication methods and strategies were polished through practice, discussions and examples. The written and oral assignments were founded on career development activities and ...

Just like any other literatures across the world, American literature was highly dependent on the history occurrences and events in the country. After the arrival of the British colonialists to the Americas, America was not a nation as it is today. The country was comprised of a number of colonies that were distributed throughout North America. During the colonial times in America, neo-classical literature was characteristic for many writers at the time. Neoclassical literature existed in the United States for over a century approximately from the 1660s to the 1790s after the United States had acquired independence from the British. Considering that ...

The process of revising my essay was quite challenging but at the same time satisfying as I had the opportunity to extend myself as a good writer. The essay I chose to revise was titled “The Future for Women Driving in Saudi Arabia.” As William Zinsser quoted, “Rewriting is the essence of writing well”(Zinsser, 12) it was therefore my responsibility to go through the essay at least three times so as to correct all the grammar mistakes (proof read), restructure sentences (edit) and reorganize ideas to enable the paper have a fluid flow. Revising the essay implies re-reading ...

Likewise, the advantages and disadvantages of using written versus oral communication would also be presented to improve your knowledge and skills in ...

The overwhelming theme that seems to be driving the characters in Casablanca seems to be – “All’s fair in love and war”. This movie is often said to be one of the greatest films made in the golden era of Hollywood. It certainly has all the classic elements to stir up ones imagination – war (although none of the characters are directly in the middle of it), an exotic third world setting, cheeky dialogues, a good sound track, the famous love triangle, and a star-studded cast. All these elements have combined to make this movie a huge success.

Casablanca can ...

PART 1: Reflection on Writing Process and Commitment  One of the most important things I have learned from doing peer review on other classmates' essays and the feedback process is the importance of constructive criticism. I have not had many instances of non-constructive feedback in this class, to be fair, but I have also learned how to give it. I sometimes tend to find myself getting slightly aggravated at the occasional spelling or grammar error, but for the most part I have learned to temper my own high-strung nature and provide criticism that addresses the issue without placing a value ...

"Despite the usual connotations of the word “criticism,” literary criticism is called criticism not because it is negative or corrective but rather because those who write criticism ask searching, analytical, "critical" questions about the works they read. Literary criticism is both the process of interpreting and commenting on literature and the result of that process."

This passage from the textbook gave me a new way to think about the word “criticism.” I always thought of criticism as a way to talk about what is wrong with something, but the textbook says it is not limited to negative remarks. It is a process ...

Susan Fenimore Cooper wrote the piece “from the rural hours”. She is conversant with the happenings in the rural areas. This is mainly based on the fact that she understands life in the rural areas fully. She has been brought up in the rural areas and as such can explain many natural phenomena in the rural places. She mentions in her writing “The fields which border this quiet bit of road are among the oldest in our neighborhood.” This informs us that Susan Fenimore lives in the rural areas and hence her wide knowledge and information. She ...

In Edmund Wilson's "The Historical Interpretation of Literature," Wilson attempts to demonstrate the means by which literature is interpreted in its "historical" sense - the sociopolitical and economic worlds of a literary work. Throughout the essay, he notes the history of this kind of criticism, which goes back all the way to the Enlightenment - investigating the historical components of a story allows the reader to bring further context to these works. The use of historical interpretation is a very strong and powerful method of gleaning meaning from a work - "The experience of mankind on the earth is ...

In Virginia Woolf's literary essay "A Room of One's Own," the author explores themes of feminism through the viewpoints of a narrator who has a unique and principled view of how women are represented in the world. Throughout the text itself, Woolf denotes many things that have held women back from holding positions of power and wealth, as well as granting them agency in society. This then extends to the limited and restricted body of work that women are allowed to have, seemingly due to the inequalities presented by a patriarchal society. This text sheds some light on ...

This semester was very challenging for me. I came to New York City from Brazil and I encountered many problems that are very popular among international students. The main problem is of course language barrier. It was very hard for me to speak in front of other people. It is really frustrating when you cannot find the right words to express what you think or feel. And I was getting very upset when that happened.

This course required a lot of communication and writing and it was exactly what scared me the most because of my poor grammar and speaking ...

Given the fact that college admission essays are perceived to be the most comprehensive and accurate systems of student admission to colleges, I beg to take exception to this notion and think otherwise. This, to most people, is the brilliant idea of selection of student to a learning institution. However, it is also imperative for both scholars and education professionals worldwide to look back and rethink the whole thing. To my view, admission essays are not what they are thought to be. The reason why I think it is crucial not to use only the admission essay writing system when ...
