...When a student needs to write an English essay for an English class, one good way to learn what types of information should be included in the document and for how the article should be laid out is to look for free English articles that provide some guidance. A free English essay may help a learner to understand what an English report should look like, especially if the student has never had to produce an essay for an English class or if the student is a new college student and is curious about how a college-level English report should look.

For example, if a student needs to write an essay on Hamlet, the student should look for articles that were written on the topic of Hamlet. The student should not use an article that was written on Othello or on the life and times of William Shakespeare. Therefore, it...

...Essay summary: Suki Kim’s “Facing Poverty with a Rich Girls Habits” Facing Poverty with a Rich Girls Habits is an insightful essay published in New York by the author Suki Kim. In this essay, she shares various challenges that she had to overcome in order to adapt to a new life of poverty and cultural diversity in New York after leaving behind her affluent and luxurious life in South Korea. This article discusses the author’s point of view as 13-year-old Korean immigrant who moved to United States out of desperation and financial tragedy rather than in search of a better life. The author’s main idea in this essay is to convey the message that the foundation of divided immigrant groups, cultural differences and generation gap are so deeply rooted even in the United States that it is impossible to eradicate them from the mindset of people. The author emphasizes on the fact that her wealthy and sheltered background in Korea created confusion. Thus, making it difficult for her to identify with people’s perception of her race in America “One new fact that took more time to absorb was that I was now Asian, a term that I had heard mentioned only in social studies class”, stated author Suki Kim in her article. She continued, “In Korea, yellow was the color of the forsythia that bloomed every spring along the fence that separated our estate from the houses down the hill. I certainly never thought of my skin as being the same shade.” The author struggled to accept the fact that...

...As a child growing up, my mother and father were both teachers, my mom a kindergarten teacher and my dad a visually impaired teacher. I can remember every night before bed how both of my parents would read stories to my sister and I so we could fall asleep. From kindergarten on I learned to read and write simple words such as; the, this, and why. Learning to read and write was one of the most exciting things for me as a child. Knowing that I could do something that everyone else already could, and being quite good at it for my age. Considering that my mother knew all the tricks to teaching and knew how I would best be able to learn from her, I eventually was able to pronounce and spell harder words than the other children in my class. From then on I “blossomed” as a writer and reader in all of my classes. Once a week our class would get to visit the library and our librarian would always pick a few children that were a little more advanced to help the others choose books appropriate for their reading level. I was one of those lucky children and it was a huge accomplishment for me. Another memory I can recall from my childhood is from a family dinner one night; as the five of us sat there, I noticed my older brother wearing this green shirt with large white lettering across the front of it. As everyone began to eat I blurted out the word on his shirt. Although I can’t remember what it was now, I do remember being ecstatic that I could read a word so complicated. Everyone at...

..."Advantages & Disadvantages of Mastering the English Language and Politics" Mastering the English laguage and politics can cause a possitive and negative efffect on a person by pointing out the flaws of society and government issues. Mastering the english language enlightens one on how to survive in this society and what this government is based on. Language can cause conflict to ones emotions an thoughts about this society and government,and its history. Fredrick Douglass, Malcolm X, and Jonathan Kozol help me show how when a person lives in this society without mastering its language they are unable to properly provide for themself or others, mastering the English language educates one in many differet political aspects, an how mastering the English language can open ones eyes to the flaws in this government and society and make them have negative feelings towards it. A person is unable to properly provide for themselves or their families if they have not mastered the english language. The histroical Fredick douglass shows this in his passage " Learning to Read and Write". He states, " the though of being a slave forever began to bear heavily upon my heart. Just about this time, i got hold of a book entittled "columbian Orator." every opportunity i got i used to read this book" (147) . Douglass felt like he would never be able to be free if he didnt continue to read and educate himself. Jonothan Kozol's passage "The Human Cost of an Illiterate society" also express this issue...

...Andrew Neimetz 12/19/2013 Mrs. Nichols English 12 Les Miserbles Composition Jean Val Jean was one of the most important characters in the book "Les Miserables". Most people see Jean Val Jean to be the protagonist of the story. This is mainly thought because the story is based around the event where Jean Val Jean, a convict that escaped and now wants to live a good life, takes a little girl, named Cosette, in and raises her as his daughter. He does this by giving the past gaurdians a lot of money. To many people, giving up a lot of your money to take in a girl that you have never met because the past gaurdians are horriable is an incredible act. It is even more incredible when you think that Jean Val Jean was never forced to give this money or take in this child. Just like many people believe he is a great person and the protaginist, others believe that he isn't as good of a person as people say. This is because even though he did rescue Cosette from a horrible life, he is still an escaped convict that hasn't paid this dues for commiting the crime. Eventhough his mindset has changed, he still commited the crime and should pay the price for it. Between these two views, many of these people see Jean Val Jean as a person who is like Christ as in being a redeemer. In the Bible, wheather you believe it is truth or just stories, Jesus is a perfect example of a redeemer because he gave up his perfect and sinless life to save people of their sins. This action is very simular...

...Henry Lawson presents visual images which convey the reality of life in the Australian bush through his short stories published by Penguin Classics 1986; 'The Drover's Wife' and 'In a Dry Season'. The experience of the character's hardships are brought to life through key themes throughout Lawson's stories. these concepts are further clarified in the poem 'Women of the West' by Essex Evans which explores the hardships of the women living in the Australian Bush, and 'Down on his luck' by Frederick McCubbin 1889, which emphasises the hardships and isolation of an unsuccessful swagman. Henry Lawson's 'The Drovers Wife' explores the commitment of the Wife/Mother who spends all her time on taking on the father's role of protecting her family, due to the absence of her Husband. The purpose of the narrator in this story is to evoke sympathy for the drover's wife through the events that happen throughout the story. Lawson establishes the negatively of their environment in the first paragraph by using visual imagery; "The stunted, rotten apple trees and the...almost waterless creek". He then reflects this harshness with the characterisation of "the gaunt sun-brown woman" and her "Four ragged, dried-up looking children". This also creates a sense of imagery towards the responder which shapes their understanding of the unique Australian traits of hardships and courage towards a hostile environment like the bush. The Drover's Wife also has no human connection which has an effect on...

...When I was first assigned to write a persuasive essay about the future in September, I wrote it about the different logic of people. Many can accept change that is heading towards them while many hesitate to approach it. Writing this essay was difficult because I didn’t have as much knowledge as I do now. As time went by, looking back at this essay, I believe I could’ve done a better job. As I improved on my persuasive essays, it began getting easier to develop ideas and set a theme to my writing. In the beginning it was harder to get all of my thoughts together and make my paragraphs flow. Now that I’ve mastered writing persuasive essays, my ideas flow together without taking too much time trying to fix the way my sentences formed. In the beginning of the first marking period, we were assigned to answer short constructed answers in the form of a paragraph essay. As difficult as it was in October, it is much easier now that I have many techniques I could use in writing. In the “The Autobiography” We explained the different perspectives the author, Benjamin, Franklin spoke in. It was a very complex assignment because we were limited to a paragraph. Trying to put down sentences to explain what my point was was very difficult because my sentences were not constructed properly. Throughout marking period two, I mastered writing short answers without going off topic and creating run on sentences. I learned how to place my sentences in the order which they make sense and most importantly...

...stand the smell of curry, and the local Indian family, who were mindful of their neighbours' aversion, had already taken to closing their doors and windows whenever they cooked the dish, but this was apparent insufficient doings in the Chinese family's opinion. the unnamed Chinese family eventually took their neighbours to Singapore's Community Mediation Centre for a ruling on the matter, and the final ruling says that the Indian family could only cook curry when the Chinese family was not at home. The judgment incensed Singaporeans, many of whom have eyed a recent flood of mainland Chinese immigrants with some disdain. Singapore's native Chinese population have been particularly upset by the newcomers, as most of them too, do not speak English, which remains Singapore's national language. Many netizens online argued heatedly on this issue, exclaming that the PRC family should be the ones adjusting and adapting to Singapore's way of life, not tell the locals to adjust to the foreigner's way of life instead.

There are many different headings and topics, such as man crush Mondays or women crush Wednesday. Instagram users go from taking a picture then they have to go and choose a filter.

Det med fed blå skrift er ting jeg har rettet – en foræring betyder, at du har lavet noget, der er SUPER godt! Florianne by David Woodrell (Essay) The loss of someone, especially one’s own flesh and blood like a daughter, is a hard thing to deal with. In the story the narrator experiences a lack of closure, after the disappearance of his daughter. When we focus on a loss and the lack of closure, the ability to deal with it becomes weaker. Woodrell exemplifies this with utter realism. This essay will be focusing of characterization of the narrator, analysis of the setting etc. , is even harder, to deal with pain you are going through (noget galt her.. kommateringen forstyrrer også..). It is as if you are in your own inner circle WHILE everyone else is outside having no idea, what you are going through and you have that constant desperate feeling, that you want the person you have lost to come back to you(slettes) (du sætter ALT for mange kommaer, og de virker forstyrrende.

...Write a story using this sentence as your first line : "It seemed like it was going to be another one of those days when nothing much happens." | | It seemed like it was going to be another one of those days when nothing much happens. Ken and his friends were playing their regular football game along the banks of the river near their small village. In the midst of the game, Ken's attention was drawn to a tourist boat passing by.Actually, tourist boats were quite common in their area. It was also common for some of the tourists to take potshots at the birds and squirrels along the way. This is why Ken's friends were not really surprised to hear a few small explosions from the boat. They ignored the sounds and went on with their game.However, they were startled when they suddenly heard loud cries for help coming from the boat. They could see that the crew were running about, panic-stricken. Some people were shouting to them."Their engine must have blown up! Look, there's smoke and the boat's out of control. It's going towards the rapids," Ken pointed out to his friends.Ken's village was located at the point at which the tourist boats turned around and headed back upstream. Three kilometers downstream were the rapids, which spelt trouble for the boats."It's heading straight for the rapids! They're in trouble! The boat will be smashed against the rocks!" Ken exclaimed. "Let's get help!"The boys sprinted back to the village for help. Along the way, they met the village headman...

...Vengeance It was dark outside, but the moon illuminated the sky. James Florence had a strange feeling that someone was following him. He turned around, but nobody was there. Maybe he just couldn’t see anything. Then, he heard a crack behind him. He stopped and looked behind him again. As he suspected, nobody was there. Now he was getting really nervous. “Maybe it was just a tree branch falling”, he said to himself. However, once he started walking he heard it again. It sounded like somebody was walking over leaves. The crunching was getting closer. It was getting louder. It was getting faster. He started to walk faster. Then, he started running. The crunching was getting louder and louder every step he took. He heard a growling noise behind him. It sounded like it was a dog, but he couldn’t tell. Then, when the beast stepped into the moonlight he realized it was his dog, Bear. He realized that Bear had followed him from his house. Bear was a black lab with a white spot on its left paw, and a white spot on its right ear. Bear was just over three years old. James had gotten him about two years ago. He told Bear to go home. Bear whimpered, but then started walking back into the shadows. After a minute or two, James heard a whimper, and then a squeal. There was silence. “Bear”, James called. He heard nothing. He started walking to where he heard Bear last. He saw a red substance on the ground in front of him. He touched it, and the red substance was slimy and stuck to his finger...

...The Hike to $15 America, the land of freedom and opportunity they say. I think that saying might just be false with the way our nation is today. The main reason I believe being that the federal minimum wage is too low. Minimum wage should be $15 in every state. If we want people to experience the freedom and opportunity, it can’t be done off $7.25. People have kids to provide for, colleges to attend, families to support, and so many more things. The luxury to afford to have all the “freedom” or “opportunity” the rich may have isn’t plausible for minimum wage workers. Every morning these people wake up and questions whether they have enough money for food or housing for example. Robert Reich, an American political economist, professor, author, and political commentator, made some good points on this issue. Reich also believes that the minimum wage should be $15 an hour. We both agree with federal minimum wage being hiked to $15 an hour. My reason as to why I agree with him being that Reich gives 7 very valid reasons as to why the raise should occur. The benefit over time would be well worth it. Congress instituted the minimum wage in 1938 as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act (DOL). The first minimum wage that was established was 25 cents an hour (James). The last minimum wage increase occurred in 2009, when Congress raised the rate to $7.25 an hour (AFL). The District of Columbia and 19 states have also established local minimum wages higher than the federal rate (AFL)...
