...every student has to write an essay. I learned this situation when I decided to come in the US for education. Before I come to the US, I had to take a preparation course for English in Turkey. That’s why my writing history started like that spontaneously. I really don’t like to write as my personality; however, this is a necessity for enhancing the ability to write an essay. Particularly, academic writing is the most important part of the studying in university, and my earlier writing experience is related just academic writing which is some type of essay such as, process essay, cause and effect essay and compare-contrast essay. One of the types of essay that I wrote first is process essay. That was really important experience because I had never written this type of essay.

My process topic was “Things to Do in Case of Hurricane”. I explained the processes such as before the hurricane, during the hurricane and after the hurricane. The second type of the essay that I dealt is the cause and effect essay. That was one of the useful types of the essay because everybody can learn...

...and more of why we write. When I first came into this class, I only knew what Mr. Shambaugh and Mr. Riise had taught us last year about writing. I felt like I have grown dramatically with my writing. I know use stronger words when writing an essay that means something. As well as that, I know enjoy writing long pieces or even short essays. This semester taught me how to improve on being a writer, and how to open my mind to new things. While first proceeding through this class, I had no idea how I would feel writing essays every other day. I felt like I was going to be miserable and get behind fast. In the beginning, I knew I had to come up with a better attitude and put my mind into my work. When we first had an essay due, I was a little nervous because I did not know what you expected of us. Now, I write my papers the night before it is due usually and I do not hesitate to press submit. While in English 111/112, you have...

...just fucking write. If we were talking about something more substantial, or perhaps something with constrictive formatting requirements and the requisite audience expectations, I could understand wanting to see some examples of how it's done before you start. But, here, we're talking about 250 words. This is roughly the number of words contained in a flippant, off-the-cuff Quora answer that requires no advance planning or forethought. It's an amount of writing that people will take about thirty seconds to a minute to read, so you barely need to have structure -- just flow your sentences together in a natural voice and you'll get to 250 words before you know it. By looking at samples and prolonging your preparation period (aka, procrastinating), you're spending way more time than you need to on an essay that is ephemeral, at best. Further, by spending so much time thinking about the thing (instead of just doing it), you're building it up to be a big, challenging hurdle instead of the straightforward task it is. Dwelling leads to more procrastination and its attendant guilt, which ignites a self-stoking cycle that's difficult to escape. 250 words is doable in 10 minutes; in the time you're likely to spend preparing for those ten minutes, you could probably write as many as a dozen 250 word essays, from which you could afterwards pick the best.

...in Essay Writing Skills for unity, coherence and development of a paragraph are not only applicable to writing an individual body paragraph when we write an essay, but can also help with handling the relations between body paragraphs. Unity Paragraph unity refers to the harmony between the topic sentence and supporting sentences in a paragraph. If we want to achieve such unity, the first thing we do is to decide on a topic sentence. When we write a single paragraph composition, the topic sentence is usually very broad because the paragraph may be dealing with many things which need a broad topic sentence to cover them all. However, when we write an essay of several paragraphs, the topic sentence for each body paragraph should be fairly specific because each body paragraph deals with only one of the many things stated in the thesis sentence. Take, for example, one of our familiar subjects, describing one’s hometown. If we are assigned to write one paragraph, we can begin with such a broad topic sentence as “My hometown is an unforgettable place,” and then proceed with describing the things that make it unforgettable, for instance, its beautiful landscape, its hospitable people, and its impressive modern industry. However, if we are to write an essay on the same subject, a statement like “My hometown is an unforgettable place” will become the thesis statement, while the things that make it unforgettable will be discussed in body paragraphs, perhaps one thing in...

...over essay writing, knowing that their essays account for a major portion of their score on the exam. Understandably, there is concern. They want to do well. I wish there were a magic formula to essay success, but there isn't. I have tried to come up with a essay planner that works, but the trouble with something like that is that it cannot possibly account for all the variables that exist when a particular student reads and responds to a passage. Therefore, this little essay is an attempt to steer my AP students towards a philosophy of essay writing instead of trying to have an approach or a system. Where to begin? A few thoughts on beginning any essay ________________________________________ Before all else, as writers we must have something to say. And if it's not important or significant, then it is not generally worth saying. From what I can tell, all passages used on AP tests have something to reveal to readers. Before we write one single word about imagery or diction, we MUST figure out what that something is. What does this author have to say to us about being human, about our shared experiences, about our fears, our sorrows, our victories? Find this and you will have something to say. This something is what I call the "So What" and without it, your essay will be meaningless. So, if there is a step one, it is this: read and understand the passage given. This understanding of the meaningful, of the So What, is what will allow you to write an insightful essay. When...

...Have you ever had to write an essay in class or for an assignment? Most kids do, and most of them dislike it. But, writing essays is something that everyone goes through, and it’s a common writing practice. And, if you want to write a good essay, you have to use sensory details, and have a good thesis statement. Those aren’t the only two things you have to do to have a good essay, but in my opinion their the most important. These two things will make your paper great, and impress your teacher. Having a good thesis statement is a very important thing in an essay. Without it, people don't really know the point you're trying to make, or even why you wrote the paper. Thesis statement state what your essay is going to be about, your point or argument,...

...Dakota Stephens Professor Baker English 1301 9/13/13 Our Generation on Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking Reading and writing are things that I am very well at. The difference is, I’m stronger in my writing skills than my reading skills. The reason for this is that when I’m writing I get so into my words and imagination to where my hand with the magical pencil does the talking. My skills in reading only depend on one thing, if it catches my attention or not. Stories have to get me involved with the story somehow in order for me to get interest. If it’s not catching my attention, I’m not reading it. But most importantly, critical thinking is what ties reading and writing together. I am very picky about the books and articles I read. Stories for me have to have a mystery or even sometimes a sappy love story. Of course I’m going to love romantic books because I’m a girl, right? Yet again, some love stories bore the living hell out of me because it’s a “typical” love story. Reading books just all depends on how the author grabs his reader’s attention and how he plays the story throughout the book. When I find a book that I’m interested in, I will read the entire novel. Or even something that is scary will keep hooked on the story. Scary stories are my favorites because the story just keeps my suspense in play. Celebrity gossip is definitely something that I get into reading. There is always something new with these celebrities. Since these celebrities are well...

...students who have to write essays. Don't you hate essays with extreme passion? All through school, teachers make their students write essays, essays, and more essays. They expect their students to have an opinion on whether a story fits the ironic vision or not, or something like that, but the student probably doesn't even care. People should just stop writing essays. First of all, essays are so formal. We have an exact formula on how an essay should be written. If you were writing an essay right now, first, you would do your intro, with their thesis at the end of it, then they have their three paragraphs of proof, and finally, after two hours of writing, they have their conclusion. Come on people, live a little! We are in college! Be wild! Do what you want to do! Put your thesis at the very end of the essay, or better yet, leave your thesis out of the essay. Then, we have extra little rules, within the formula, that we have to follow. For example, while writing some types of essays, we have a rule about not saying "I." What am "I," chopped liver? Do I have to become this nameless, faceless, mystery person, only to get people to listen to me? Also, what about using "you?" I mean, it's "you" that's reading my essay, isn't it? Who else would it be? Am I talking to myself? We all have a tendency to use "you" and/or "I" in our essays because it is in our daily communications with each other. So, if we are not practicing our daily communications, while writing essays, then what are we practicing...

...expectations, because nowadays there is so much you have to live up to. You have wear nice clothes, do well in school, have lots of friends etc. So it’s not surprising that sometimes you would want to get away and forget about all that. In this story, the young girl, whose name is Ellie, doesn’t live up to her parents and teachers expectations, which results in her taking drugs, especially coke. We don’t really follow Ellie for a long time but on her journey for printer ink, she is still able to go through a big range of emotions; fear of death, joy, rebelliousness, dejectedness, freedom and so on. After reading the first few lines, we get a pretty good idea about what Ellie is like. The description of her walking up with swollen cheeks and peeing in the sink gives us a good picture that Ellie is living on the edge where nothing matters anymore. It is clear to us that she isn’t living a very healthy life. Her wealth is terrible; her chest hurts and she has inflammation of her eyes. “She sits on the bed, brings her legs up under her chin, rummages for what she can remember from the night before”. This tells us that she had been very affected by alcohol and drugs, since she remembers nothing but glimpses. It also appears that this is something she does often, almost every night. Ellie is a very unfocused and diffuse person who often gets distracted by meaningless things in her surroundings not involving her actual purpose. She doesn’t think ahead of the present, she...

...Compare and Contrast Paragraphs I do not think have any terms to define. I will try my best to write what rent means and the write what buy means. Although I know that everybody already knows what they mean. Rent is where you pay a certain amount of money every month for the use of the property. Buy means to acquire by payment. So when you are renting something you paying to use it, when you are buying something it is yours to keep so to speak. I do believe that those are really the only two terms that I will have to define. Yes I will be using compare and contrast paragraphs. I will be comparing the same benefits between buying a house and renting an apartment. There are not many similarities between the two. The only thing I can think that would be the same would be the fact they both supply a roof over your head. When comparing these two I will have to look for some similarities between the both. The contrasting part of the essay will not be that hard. There a lot of differences between renting and buying a home. This part will be easy to do. The hardest part will be comparing the two. I will be contrasting the difference between renting and buying a house. When you rent there are things that you can technically get by with. When you buy the more things that you have do and there are certain things that you can do. When you rent there are certain thing that you cannot do. Which when you rent there are all kinds of rules that you have follow set by your landlord. When you...
