...The information learned in English 111 will have a major impact in my life. This class was created to teach students how to write properly and understand different genres of writing and to emphasize the importance of writing. As numerous of us continue our educational paths, it will be critical to understand the fundamentals of writing, and I am positive this class will be a great stepping stone. Through the course’s heavy focus on annotation, writing, and analyzation, I hope to learn new information that can act as a stepping stone for my career path. My intentions for this class is to learn the valuable tools of writing and reading, not receiving an A. English 111 is a class focused heavily on writing, so I expect to learn different formats of writing such as essays and articles and how to write them properly. In order to achieve a full, detailed understanding of different writing techniques, it is essential for students to be exposed to a variety of texts. I expect the class to be assigned different forms of writings to achieve a better understanding of different types of texts. As we read our assigned passages, many of us will portray words and ideas that differ from each other. Because of our different backgrounds...

...Since I never been interested in reading I never really engaged with what I read about. It was not until last semester in my English 111 class that I started enjoying what I read by actually evaluating the text in further detail. Active reading means reading something in further detail by evaluating and analyzing the text in different ways then just re-reading the text. By doing this you establish more support in your assessment. This hands-on-way to read, by highlighting or writing in the margins, is a way to enhance the reader ability to expand their assessment of the text. Active reading also consists of reading, asking questions, and examining the text. This is different from any other reading technics I have used in the past. Active reading...

...Thesis: All three authors portray the voice of many people, who, on a daily basis, are underprivileged of speaking their own language, thus, emphasizing onto the lives of linguistic minority students around the world and how they struggle to cope in school and at home. Audience: Class HUM-111 and Dr. Connelly Purpose: To highlight the difficulties students have at school and at home when it comes down to learning a language which they aren’t acquainted to and the consequences of such, depending on their social background. Reflection on readings using Comparison and Contrast Maxine Hong Kingston (Tongue Tied); Richard Rodriguez (Aria); Gloria Anzaldua (How to Tame a Wild Tongue) In the short story’s ‘Tongue Tied’, ‘Aria’ and ‘How to Tame a Wild Tongue’, written by Maxine Hong Kingston, Richard Rodriguez and Gloria Anzaldua respectively, each author interrelates the issue of bilingualism and bi-culturalism as a personal, narrative-style, life experience. Their personal experience all share the same setting; them during childhood deprived of speaking their own language, struggling to get through school and get accepted in the American society and the impact on their lives as a result of such pressure. When comparing the short stories, it is clear that each individual writer share several aspects in common, as well as differences. One of the most recurring aspects that each author conveys in their short story is the notion of one’s self recognition – identity – as...

...Nature in Romanticism The Romantic Period came as a reaction against the Industrial Revolution and the rising emphasis on science and technology that the movement brought along. People traditionally living in the country now gathered into urbanized areas in hopes of employment as farmland gradually developed into factories (“Introduction”, Pages 5-7). As a result, cities became crowded and unsanitary as this sudden influx of population was not accounted for in city works. The lack of a citywide waste disposal system created an environment where litter dusted the streets and smog suffocated the populace (Wood). In the heavily industrialized cities of the time, flora and other greenery became a rare sight. The people of the late eighteenth century became rapidly disillusioned by their surroundings and yearned for the better days of the past where there was more space to breathe and distance themselves to find spiritual meaning in their life (Wood). The people sought for a refuge from the turmoil of society and found that coveted solitude in nature, which became idealized as a meditative sanctuary where people could go to reflect upon life or draw inspiration. Each writer of the Romantic period came upon different interpretations from their experiences with nature and these varying perspectives are reflected in their works. Pantheism was a very pervasive theme found in the works of the Romantic Period. This shared sentiment did not come as a surprise as nature became personal...

...Having a large number of events occurring at the same time will make it difficult to decide what to deal with first. I will have to be prioritize the events as they unfold, therefore making snap decisions will become an everyday practice. This leads me to another challenge; classroom management. According our textbook from 1960 to 2004, polls identified classroom management as one of teachers’ most challenging problems and from 2004 to present, it ranked second behind only behind school funding. (D.Kauchak, P. Eggen 2011) Lastly, I think that language diversity is a challenge that I may be faced with. As we read in chapter 4 of our text- “immigration has brought increasing numbers of students with limited backgrounds in English to our classrooms.” ( D. Kauchak, P. Eggen 2001). I cannot imagine how hard it would be to teach to students who with language limitations or if I could not understand them. It would be frustrating and for this reason I feel it will be a challenge. REWARDS It will be very rewarding to work teach little children, to watch them grow and learn. To have the...

...Jeremy Johnson English 111-A Reflection Essay November 5, 2012 “Going back to College” College is something that most high school seniors look forward to every year. This is an exciting new endeavor that they long for after graduating from high school. Many high school seniors take different paths when they graduate, but few understand the dedication required to achieve their dreams. My views were the same after graduating, but my journey took a much different direction. Originally signing and planning to go to UNCC, I passed up my athletic scholarship for a professional baseball contract with the Detroit Tigers. College was something that I felt could be done at any stage of my life, and my chance to play professional baseball was something that I may never get a chance to do again. I enjoyed every minute of every day that I played, but sometimes I wonder where I would be today if I had passed up that professional contract. Would I have gotten the chance to experience thousands of fans cheering my team on, or the never ending bus trips from city to city ? My eleven years of playing experience taught me the dedication that one must have to achieve a goal that few would attempt. Long hours in the gym, throwing bullpens, and worst of all running. These were just a few of the things I would have to do on a daily basis both in season and out of season. I hate running more than anything but this was required to be a successful pitcher. Reaching my goal of getting...

... 二级学院 外国语学院 专业名称 英语 班 级 09英语1班 2012年11月 The Literature Review of A Study of Different Connotations of Animal Words Between Chinese and English Animals, being an extremely important component of living organisms, play a crucial role in our daily life. In ancient times when human beings appeared, we humans hunt and feed on animals; later, we began to domesticate some docile animals, and then trained some of them to plow and till in the field; today, we keep some likable and smart animals to be our pets. However, some animals are practically impossible to be our pet. One reason is that people believe these certain kinds of animals might be symbols of ill omens or just might bring bad luck. Yet while Chinese detest crows, Japanese regard the crow as their national bird, the very sacred bird every Japanese worships; the cry of an owl bespeaks the death for the Chinese people, but in Greek and Roman myths, they stand for wisdom; and cricket in Chinese poems signifies sadness and sorrow, while “as merry as a cricket” is often used in English to show joy and happiness. All the above are examples of cultural diversity, which are mainly caused by historic, religious, and geographical reasons. Furthermore, a language is the reflection and the carrier of a certain culture, and animal words play a significant role in a language to demonstrate specific cultural connotations, usually in idioms, proverbs, and sayings. According...

...Throughout the novel, it is made apparent that Loney is an alcoholic – a “kitchen drunk” (111) who drinks every night, alone, without fail. His father is no different, except he frequents bars. Although Loney hardly knows anything about his father, it is clear that they share the same addiction. Towards the end of the novel, Loney asks his father if he they could have done something together, if he had not left, to which his father responds, “What would he have done but drink ourselves to death?” (149) The narrator does not focus much on Loney’s alcohol dependency as a huge issue, and Loney himself does not ever make a considerable effort to curb this habit. Loney’s alcoholism is simply treated as a part of his every day life. It is, however, a catalyst for his hallucinations. The first time Loney’s hallucinations are revealed, and...

...(Mogen 107) In order to understand Bradley's social critique, it is essential to realize that he wrote Fahrenheit 451 in the wake of World War II and the early days of the Cold War, in a political climate that was increasingly favoring security over the civil liberties of individuals (Mogen 124, 114). Due to the Cold War, Americans continuously felt threatened by the idea of communism and the idea of hostility from communist countries (Mogen 115). Any association with communism would immediately ostracize an American politician (Mogen 115). In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury displays a futuristic utopian society where "the people did not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations." (Mogen 111). About sixty years later, some would argue that our society has been guilty of similar downfalls. (Book Rags) The government in Fahrenheit 451 bans books because they do not appreciate the thoughts books created peoples minds. Bradbury's society was to afraid to offend groups of people through literature.(Challenging Destiny). Bradbury's has an excellent pulse on the faults of American society such as its censorship. The government in Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451 is full of flaws because it searches too hard for the greater good for everyone and neglects many aspects that make a human being. Written in...
