... Feb,28th,2016 Dear Katrina: I know you may feel confused about your essay that i marked, but I have to tell you that it’s a plagiarism. I think you probably did not know what is Plagiarism so it occurred. Plagiarism is stealing as one’s own or present as new and original an idea derived from an existing source.In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. In your essay, you didn’t change the source in your own words but changed the meaning of it and added first subject.I know you want to borrowed the idea, but you changed it into another meaning with different arrangement. You failed to summaries and paraphrases in your own way to expressed it.I will tell you how to avoid the plagiarism and please remember it well. You should make up sentences in your words as much as you could when making notes.Also you can use many sources as your quotations in order not to be seemed like someone else did before. If you are doubtful about your notes , then find a reference. For more detailed, you can use your own sentence structure and expressions instead of just changing the arrangement or have “we” in it.Now you should know plagiarism better. Hopefully you can realize how to correct your essay and be good at writing an essay in the future. Sincerely yours Steve Wang Steve...

...Eating sugar - Essay The unknown and the insecure are in many ways one of the biggest fear factors to human beings. It is the fear of not knowing what’s next and how to handle it. The fear of not knowing how to react and the fear of not knowing how to protect yourself and your nearest in a threatening situation. In the short story Eating Sugar, facing your fears is the theme. In addition the story also deals with the differences between how the young and the old handle unknown places and situations. The story takes place in a forest in Thailand. A place that for the daughter Suzanne is perceived as an experience, but for the parents Eileen and Alex, is an unknown and insecure place to be. Eileen indirectly expresses (p.9, l. 79): “Anything could happen” which proves the fact that she is afraid and that fear comes with the old age and with the responsibility of having a daughter you think you still need to take care of. Eileen and Alex acts reserved against the situation of being in the forest without knowing how to get home and they only imagine all the things that could go wrong. Whereas Suzanne takes it all more calm, lives in the present and doesn’t think about what might go wrong. In that way it illustrates how the role as the family protector has actually been reversed by the way the parents have been brought on insecure ground and depends on the daughters acts and knowledge of Thailand. The father, Alex, doesn’t express his fear of the unknown situation, at least not...

...Discuss strong emotions presented in Shut out and three other poems. In this essay I will be discussing how strong emotions are presented in Christina Rossetti's poems. I will discuss different emotions which Rossetti expresses in four poems which are shut out; echo; twice and remember. Hope is a feeling of expectation or wish for a particular thing to happen, and it is used in 'Shut Out' as the speaker begins by saying that "the door was shut", and instead of being trapped in, the door shuts the speaker out of a place of happiness. Doors resembling opening and closing rather than permanent closure. However this indicates on her character as only a specific selection can go in, which suggests she must have committed a sinful act which is why the door has been shut on her. Rossetti uses caesura here, and by using a full stop, it suggests that there is no hope for her to be able to go through the door which she wants to enter. On the other hand, in the poem 'Echo, we see that she is very hopeful that her lover will "come to me" in dreams and repeats this many times which suggests that she is almost certain that he will return to her in her dreams, as although their "wakening should have been in paradise", she begins to question the difference between paradise and her dreams, as she is with her lover in both places so she feels that the only way for her to be able to be happy is if she is constantly visited by her lover in her dreams. In the poem 'Remember', the speaker is...

...impressed is the artwork named ‘a presage of happiness’ made from Park Yoonhee. This artwork is huge stacked of isomorphic cubes. And on the top of this artwork, arrangement for cube looks like stair. Material for cube looks like hard and somewhat opaque. When I was in front of those, I could just see the contour of my body. And there are not any additional shapes or patterns or colors. Actually when I saw this artwork, I just thought ‘what is this?’ In other words, I didn’t know what this means. It looks like some figures which I can see in math course-book in middle school. In addition to this feeling, after looking the title, I was curious how the name and this artwork can be matched. Usually when we thought about the happiness, the expression for this feeling is something bright. After reading brochure and talking with Prof. LEE, I realized that the artist wanted to criticize our way of living. When I did first online session and project for creative practitioner, creativity is related with changing perspective within understandable context. The artist broke ‘normal’ image for happiness in our mind and looked the way in which modern people live in critical manner. I think this artist is also creative practitioner in these contexts. It means this perspective is somewhat different for usual notion of happiness and in the way that criticism, it is understandable by expressing it in stacked of same pattern cubes. In this museum, I think there are not many artworks, but each...

...WEEK 1 ASSIGNMENT: Solving Proportion MAT222: Intermediate Algebra Page 437 #56.) Bear Population: To estimate the size of the bear population on the Keweenaw Peninsula, conservationist captured, tagged, and released 500 bears. One year later, a random sample of 100 bears included only 2 tagged bears. What is the conservationist’s estimate of the size of the bear population? x500=1002 2x2=500002 x=25000 In this problem we are seeking to find a total amount. We must use the information we have to locate this amount. To solve we utilize the proportions formula. For this formula we use the total amount divided by the known tagged amount. Once we plug in the given amounts along with the “x” variable, we can begin to solve. First we cross multiply then finally we divide. The outcome is the total amount. Page 444 #10.) Simplify: y-1x+3=-13 3y-1=-1x+3 3y-3=-x-3 y=-x3 In this problem we have two fractional equations better known as a proportion. Next we cross using the extreme means property. The next step is to appropriately distribute on both sides. In order to solve for “y” we must move everything away from “y”. We start by subtracting, and then we divide. The final results are the equivalence of “y”. Upon going back to the top of problem#10 to check to see whether the solution is correct. I was unable to obtain a clear defined solution due to the negative fraction. However it is also unclear as to whether the problem is extraneous. One observation...

...between man and man. Every work of art causes the receiver to enter into a certain kind of relationship both with him who produced, or is producing, the art, and with all those who, simultaneously, previously, or subsequently, receive the same artistic impression. Speech, transmitting the thoughts and experiences of men, serves as a means of union among them, and art acts in a similar manner. The peculiarity of this latter means of intercourse, distinguishing it from intercourse by means of words, consists in this, that whereas by words a man transmits his thoughts to another, by means of art he transmits his feelings. The activity of art is based on the fact that a man, receiving through his sense of hearing or sight another man’s expression of feeling, is capable of experiencing the emotion which moved the man who expressed it. To take the simplest example; one man laughs, and another who hears becomes merry; or a man weeps, and another who hears feels sorrow. A man is excited or irritated, and another man seeing him comes to a similar state of mind. By his movements or by the sounds of his voice, a man expresses courage and determination or sadness and calmness, and this state of mind passes on to others. A man suffers, expressing his sufferings by groans and spasms, and this suffering transmits itself to other people; a man expresses his feeling of admiration, devotion, fear, respect, or love to certain objects, persons, or phenomena, and others are infected by the same...

...arguing the idea that hip-hop is mostly about the music, the sound surrounding the lyrics (I mean, he also spends much of the book expressing the same ideas over and over and over again, but I won’t get into that). Bradley expresses the idea that the music comes first, and the content comes second, and I found myself strongly disagreeing with the notion. To put it simply, hip-hop is indeed art. In order to make this assertion, however, you have to take a step back and ask: what is art? Is it taking some Crayola crayons and rubbing them on a piece of paper, soon to be hung up on the fridge? Is it a statue of some random naked muscular man? I believe that art simply describes a method of expression. It could be a painting—Picasso’s Guernica, for example—which is a form of visual expression. A painter wants to express a feeling about, say, a...

...Assessment and Text Evaluation in the Content Area Classroom My content area text book that I chose was an Algebra 1 textbook. Algebra 1 is usually taken in either the 8th or 9th grade. To get estimated grade level I used Fry's Readability Formula. To get this estimation, I randomly selected three passages from the textbook of one hundred words each. For each section of one hundred words, I counted the number of sentences and the number of syllables. For the first one hundred word sample, the number of sentences was roughly 4.9 with 180 syllables, the second sample was roughly 3 sentences with 131 syllables, and the last sample was roughly 5.3 sentences with 156 syllables. This averages out to roughly 4.4 sentences with 155.67 syllables. According to the Fry's Readability Formula, this textbook was estimated to be between the 10th and 11th grade reading level, which is a little bit higher than it should be. After determining the reading level of the Algebra 1 textbook, I then took another passage, from the same textbook, and performed a cloze procedure. To do this, I took another random one hundred word sample and deleted a random word from the second sentence and from there after deleted every five words. The test was then given to two different students. Here is the cloze test I created: Cloze Test: The process of designing an experiment begins with determining what type of data is needed and how it should be obtained.
