...when they are being prepared for college or when they are required to write essays about themselves for documentation purposes. For whatever reason, some students find it a struggle to come up with a mix of words and make it appear sensible and brilliant. Here are a few suggestions on how to write your very own essay without straining your brain too much. First of all, one must know that you have to keep it simple. You have to know that as a student, not much is expected from you so you shouldn’t pressure yourself too much. Just make a carefree and free flowing essay that mainly talks about yourself and no one else. If you do have to include any other person in your essay in which you believe is quite necessary then it has to be done minimally. Perhaps you can mention your parents and your siblings. Other than that, it would just be a complete waste of your time. So start off with an introduction about yourself, what your name is, where you live. Like this example here: I am (insert name here) and I am currently residing at (insert address here). This introduction will give the reader the idea a bit of who you are. Then you can include the basics such as your age, how many siblings do you have, what are the names of your parents. The important thing about essays is that you have to be truthful most especially if it asks for information regarding yourself such as this topic: “essay about myself”. Forego minor details that would only make your essay appear longer. Focus on the...

...An Essay About MYSELF Based on the influence of my Father’s lifestyle, whereby he grew up as one who is never afraid of trying out new things and taking steps towards achieving daunting tasks, I believe I developed an outstanding quality that best defines me as a RISK-TAKER – one who does not cower or considers impossibilities, but faces any given situation, without fear. During my first year in Secondary School, I got tired of the teaching method and temper of my class teacher and wrote to the School’s Principal, a ‘Composition’ on why she (my class teacher) should be replaced, despite the counter comments from my classmates who were afraid to even speak up. My letter was not ‘outrightly’ acknowledged though, and the whole scenario subsequently got dramatic, but I did not refrain from doing what I dared to do, because I do not stifle from taking steps towards achieving a desired goal or from making decisions regardless of the possible consequences or embarrassments and how unrealistic and unattainable they may appear, insofar as my actions are geared towards creativity and improvement. And like ‘a dog to a bone’, I am relentless and tenacious even in the face of setbacks, and do not believe that there is a problem or goal that cannot be solved or achieved, and whatever it will take, I dare to do it, especially because I am always in constant sought after activities that require fearlessness, bravery, and are considered “crazy”. I learnt to drive a car without a hands-on...

...Reflection on Myself As sun rises the water in the river starts providing clear images of all alongside the river owing to sun light reflections falling unto each and every object. The young man sitting on the stone coming out from the river is not an exception to this reflection. Staring down to water – he starts seeing clear reflection of himself on the water surface. He lowers his head trying to look into the eyes of his reflection and see more than what meets the eye. It is him a charming, attractive and very affectionate with the typical crab protective and sympathetic temperament. Being a person whom nature favored with a sensitive, dreamy but responsive and caring side – he is rather humanitarian, nurturing a person who likes to help solve the problems of others. He seems to be naturally inquisitive and insightful with analytical thought giving him a love of mysterious things and natural detective skills. Strong emotions and a heightened receptiveness to his surroundings allow him easily capitalize on any presented opportunities. At some point he finds himself as a person who might seem a little unfocused but then he cools down himself opposing no he is actually quite centered and bolder than he first appear. With an artistic stylish flair and fine eye for detail and design he is more likely to see home as a place to express himself than anywhere else. Home sweet home – yes one might consider it as negative feature or weakness, however his main strengths of character...

...Mini-case analysis paper In my previous company, I was responsible for an operation function, totally more than 80 people in this function in my charge. The function is divided into four teams to cover 7*24 operation, one team for morning shift, one for noon shift, and two for night shift. The four team leaders report to me directly, Bruce and Roc are the two team leaders of night shift (one for D135, and the other for D246). Because of the same working flow and responsibility, the KPI setting for them is the same, and it’s very easy to compare and evaluate between them. Bruce was a trainer before he joined the company, so he is very talkative and good at motivating people, but his professional skill is so-so. On the contrary, Roc was promoted from front-line agent, attributed the success to his excellent professional skill and proactive working attitude, but he is not good at coaching and sharing. The actual team performance was very clear that Roc’s was much worse than Bruce’s, and most of the operation mistakes were made by Roc’s team. In working time, Bruce looks leisurely and often walking around, meanwhile his team members are busy doing their work. In Roc’s working shift, the situation is totally different. Roc looks so busy to handle too many tasks by himself, while his team members seem a little leisurely and even chatting with others. Also, Roc is always the first one to come and the last to leave, and many times he volunteered to drive to the company in peak season...

...several similarities when scrutinized thoroughly. Though their approaches differ, they often deal with the same themes, and both pioneered their own unique style of writing. Using death as a theme is probably the strongest connection that Whitman and Dickinson share. Whitman's view on death is reflective of his belief in Transcendentalism. In "Song of Myself", Whitman uses the scientific principle of the conservation of energy to assert that there is life after death, because energy cannot be destroyed; only transformed. In stanza six, he writes "And what do you think has become of the women and children?/ They are alive and well somewhere,/ The smallest sprouts shows there is really no death" (Whitman 124-126). Whitman contends that life remains long after death, Dickinson's writings on death are more complex and contradictory. She personifies death, generally seeing as a lord or as a compelling lover. In one of her more popular poems, "Because I could not stop for Death", death is like a kindly courter. He picks her up in a "Carriage held but just for Ourselves-/ And Immortality" (Dickinson 3-4). Many of her other poems are about the moment of death, and what happens when the living cross over into the dead. In "I heard a Fly buzz- when I died", Dickinson tries to explain what happens at the boundary of death. She describes the experience as conflicted as she attempts to define that moment with vivid images and sounds. Religion is also another subject both writers struggle...

...Whitman once referred to the work as “a succession of growths like the rings of trees.” Leaves of Grass was first published with ninety-five pages, consisting of a prose introduction and twelve poems. By the time of Whitman’s death, the “Deathbed” edition contained 383 poems. In 1855 upon returning to New York, Whitman began carrying around a notebook with him everywhere, wandering around the city and jotting down ideas for poems. In addition, he read a variety of literature, including the Iliad and Odyssey, Shakespeare, Dickens, Hawthorne, Emerson, and pieces about astronomy, geography, and philosophy. The result of all the wandering, jotting, and reading was the publication of the first edition of Leaves of Grass (“Walt Whitman”, 2002). Whitman sent a copy to Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Emerson’s reply is now famous. He wrote, “I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed...I greet you at the beginning of a great career.” While the first edition of Leaves of Grass sold poorly, the letter meant the world to Whitman (“Walt Whitman”, 1998). Interestingly, Whitman wrote most of the favorable reviews of Leaves of Grass himself and published them anonymously (“Walt Whitman”,...

...to two of the poems that I liked. In the first poem I read, Song of myself, Whitman jumps from topic to topic in almost every other line. The poem gave me a problem understanding where he was going with his poems as a speaker. I do have an understanding though, that Whitman himself is the speaker (as we call all poets)in this poem. Whitman pretty much declares it is “Walt Whitman day,” it’s the celebration of his life. He embraces the outdoors with this simple line, “The atmosphere is not perfume, it has no taste of the distillation, it is odorless, It is for my forever, I am in love with it” (21). This explains how much he loves the world and nature, and how everything blends together for him. There is some rhythm in this poem, but really no rhyme. Whitman uses some metaphors, and personifications. Whitman describes the “I,” that represents things that go on in everyday life. The “Me myself” is the observer of the “I”, as it observes everything in his life, and the “Soul” represents one of the essences of life which is nature. The other short poem, When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer, was an easier read for me, because I didn’t have to read it ten times like I did for the other ones. In this poem it seemed that Whitman is the character, because once again he embraces nature. The poem starts off as the speaker sitting in a lecture room, listening to an astronomer lecturing a class about the constellation of astronomy in every inch of the way. Whitman...

...The novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse examines the life of Siddhartha, the main character as he goes on a journey searching for Nirvana. Likewise, the poem “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman also depicts a man’s journey of personal discovery. Whitman begins his poem exclaiming to an unknown listener that is “large and contains multitudes” (Whitman 8). With these words, the poet is saying he is a complex person who is interested about the world. The poet sees the world as exciting and multifaceted. Similar to his vision of the world, the poet’s soul is convoluted and contradictory. Like Whiteman, Siddhartha has a restless soul. For example, “his intellect was not satisfied, his soul was not at peace, his heart was not still” (Hesse 5). Moreover,...

...began his “Song of the Open Road”. This paper will attempt to describe his life and poetry in a way that does justice to the path he chose. He was a man who grew up impoverished, who wrote from his experiences, and who tried to lift his fellow men above life’s trivialities. These are the points to be discussed on these pages. To know the essence of Walter Whitman, you would have to understand the heart of his writing. For he is in his pen. Walter Whitman was born in West Hills, Long Island, New York, on May 31, 1819 . He did not have much opportunity for education in his early life. His parents were mostly poor and illiterate- his father a laborer, while his mother was a devout Quaker. Whitman was one of nine children and little is known about his youth except that two of his siblings were imbeciles. No wonder he demonstrated such an insight for life in his poems. In 1830, at the age of eleven, he worked as an office boy for a lawyer, where he learned the printing trade. Whitman would soon take up teaching at various schools in Long Island. He also engaged in carpentry and house building while he edited newspapers. His early years seemed to show an active interest in working with the public. Whitman at one time accepted a job with a New Orleans...

...use to describe the people around them and the population, holds the meaning of so much more. Society always appears to be used in negative context, because normally, it is used to describe a stereotype. The world is fully of stereotypes that are created by the opinions of everyday people, members of our society. Society can be portrayed in many ways, but it is how it is shown that counts. Michael Cunningham in his works of “In The Machine” and “Children’s Crusade”, and Walt Whitman in his poem “Song Of Myself” portray society as a murderer and their characters as the victims. Through interpretations and descriptions, their journeys and victimizations are brought to life through the literature. The ways in which society affects each person are shown in “In The Machine” as Lucas falls to industrialization, in “Song of Myself” as the reader discovers society’s true effects, in “Children’s Crusade” as Cat breaks away from society and finds her true happiness, and in “Song of Myself” as stereotypes are formed by society. Throughout the story, In The Machine, by Michael Cunningham, the main character, Lucas falls victim to society and its expectations. Lucas is just an average boy trying to get by during the course of the industrial revolution. Throughout the course of this period, people in society began to realize how technology was going to take over their lives. Lucas, became very involved in machines, he began working with machines, and eventually obsessed with machines. What...

...In “Song of Myself,” by Walt Whitman, Whitman uses grass and a hawk as symbols to convey an underlying message of equality in America. During this time era, the 1800s, slavery was going on, meaning many racism was also going on. Whitman supports the idea of having equality for instance in the section, “A Child Said What Is The Grass?,” Whitman says, “Kanuck, Tuckahoe, Congressman, Cuff, I give them the same, I receive them the same” (Lines 11 - 12). This evidence reveals that Whitman did not care who you are, but that everyone would receive equal actions. Whitman says that all people should treat someone the same as you would want to be treated. If someone wants respect they should also treat others with respect. Whitman uses the slang terms for a French Canadian or African American showing that Whitman does not care if you are a different race....

... Hammer1 English 102 Prof. Thuran Poem Analysis Essay This essay will examine two poems by Walt Whitman, “A Noiseless Patient Spider” and “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer”. These two poems are similar in several ways yet differ in many as well. Each poem can be broken down and analyzed to relate to the human experience. Walt Whitman “A Noiseless Patient Spider” is about a spider as well as one’s soul. Whitman does a great job making two different things similar. A spider’s legs are always moving searching for a good place to make its connections to create its web. The speaker of the poem describes the spider as “a little promontory it stood isolated” (L.2) A promontory is a land mass protruding out surrounded by water. The spider is standing on a ledge protruding out surrounded by a vast emptiness. Whitman says “marked how to explore the vacant vast surrounding” (L.3) meaning the spider is working vigorously to find the correct place for its web. This relates to the second stanza which is about a person’s soul which is alone in the world constantly searching for a companion to quote, “ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, and seeking the spheres to connect them.” (L.8). this poem really leaves you to wonder how exactly a person really connects Hammer 2 To another person. It is not known exactly known...

...perfect circle - starting with birth and completing with death to start the cycle again. They express that the circle of life is the best model to completely understand how life works. In the poem, “Song of Myself” by Walt Whitman, he describes his distinct interpretation of the classic symbol of the circle to represent the meaning of life that differs from most poets. Whitman believes that the circle of life can be found within the grass on the ground. Whitman sees grass as a vehicle for people to find comfort with death and learn how life works. Through the extended metaphor of grass, Whitman taught us not to be fearful of death and that all people are connected together. First of all, Whitman used the metaphor of grass to help explain to people how they should not be afraid of dying, rather to...
