... Mendanbar’s sword is missing?! In the fiction book entitled, Calling on Dragons, by Patricia C. Wrede, Morwen and her friends, Telemain, Cimorene, Brandel, Killer, Scorn, and Trouble go on an adventure through and beyond the Enchanted Forest to find Mendanbar’s, the King of the Enchanted Forest’s, sword. They find that the sword is missing when they first go to figure out what caused Killer, a rabbit, to turn into a seven foot, eleven inch, blue donkey with large wings. When they found that Killer had eaten a clover patch that had been invaded by wizards, they decided to inform the King and Queen about it. Starting from the beginning, knock! Knock! Knock! Morwen encounters a visitor. It was Chairwitch Archaniz. She came to tell her about the complaints the Deadly Nightshade Gardening Club has been getting from Arona Michaelear Vamist. Morwen was in a gardening club for witches, since she was a witch herself, and was being told that the club was becoming too normal for witches. A few minutes had passed and Archaniz left. When Morwen started to walk in, one of her nine cats, Murgatroyd, Fiddlesticks, Miss Elizaa Tudor, Scorn, Jasmine, Trouble, Jasper Darlington Higgins IV, Chaos, and Aunt Ophelia, told her that Archaniz’s cat had been chased by a rabbit and they wanted her to go check it out.

...How to Approach a Case This is not the only approach that exists, but it’s a worthwhile one to try as you get started. 1. GETTING ORIENTED It’s useful to think of a case analysis as digging deeper and deeper into the layers of a case. 1. You start at the surface, Getting Oriented and examining the overall case landscape. 2. Then you begin to dig, Identifying Problems, as well as possible alternative solutions. 3. Digging deeper, Performing Analyses you identify information that exposes the issues, gather data, perform calculations that might provide insight. 4. Finally, you begin Action Planning to outline short-, medium-, and long-term well-defined steps. Typically, you’ll need to repeat this process multiple times, and as you do, you'll discover new analytical directions, evolving your assessment of the case and conclusion. a. Case Analysis Overview Analyzing a case is not just about digging. It’s also about climbing back out to examine what you’ve unearthed, deciding what it means, determining what to analyze next, and digging some more. Often your examination of information about a problem will change your idea of what the real problem is and about what to analyze next. The process is similar to when a detective investigating a crime shifts his or her opinion about the most likely suspect as more clues come to light. Gather your materials and tools. These include the case and any other related materials to supplement your reading...

...My first paper was a little rocky. At first I could not settle with a topic. When I would start to write a paper I would think it was not good enough and change it to something else. I changed my paper three different times. It was just hard for me to get started and it was also hard narrowing down my topic because I felt like what I was talking about was so broad. Turns out when I finally picked my topic my paper was headed in all the wrong directions. I ended up having to change a lot of things. When I went to Professor Warfield’s office hours it did help me but I was still a little discouraged that I would never get my paper right. I am still trying to keep a positive mind frame and I am hoping for the best with my grade. Overall I learned...

...Our homes are full of books of every genre. There are only few people who don't like reading. Accordingly, even the most lazy can't help but keeping on reading if the story is enough engaging. The most of times in our homes we find physical books, rather than digital stories. I think there is a reason for this. What is better than the smell of paper, especially when you buy a new book? It is something inimitable, that never will be replaced. Concerning to this, we cannot not talk about the smell of old books. It reminds you something ancient, of another epoch or of a parallel world. Something beset by an aura of fantastic. On the one hand, I think many people prefer to buy new books, rather than borrow them in library, due to the characteristic smell of brand new printed paper. However, the smell of ancient books cannot be recreated and that’s why, on the other hand, library are so full of requests. There are those who neither care to have their own literary works, nor library books. Actually, they don’t want physical volumes and prefer to have all they would want to read always with them. In other words, they like digital readings. For instance, a tablet make this real. This means you can choose among a great number of possibilities the book you want to read in that particular moment. The advantage consists in the fact that you have not to bring ten different volumes with you, but just one light tablet. Your back will thank you! Likewise, many people prefer digital books...

...now than I ever been in a class setting. English class is very challenging. The class is a very small setting. It’s very interesting to come up with ideas, thesis statements, and so forth. I have a lot of issues with my punctuations and spelling words. Although, English class has taught me to speak a lot better. I can plan out what I am trying to say when; I am speaking to other people. I have been told when I am talking to people that they cannot hear me clearly. Since, I have been in English class; my language has gotten more clearly. I like my professor because he gives me his honest feedback on my papers. Dr. Baker makes it easy for you to understand his English class and what he is talking about. I have had a hard time writing in this class because I have never been a writer. I do not like to write. I rather let the computer do all of the work for me. I have so many problems with how to begin a topic sentence or a thesis statement. I do not like writing thesis statements because it is very difficult to come up with one. I especially hate to revise my paper. Because most of the time, my mind just wonders around. The most important reason I want to achieve in this class is to become a successful student so, I can become an...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...

...Before coming to class, we were assigned to read pages 51-60 in the composition guide. We were assigned these essays because they are researched argumentative essays. Our final paper coming up soon will also be an argumentative essay. The first essay I read was "Coloring the Workforce" by Valerie Keys. I found this essay to be very helpful. The essay not only talked about African Americans struggling in the workforce, but it focused on African American women. The essay gave very relevant examples and statistics which helped with its validity. There was also an abundance of sources at the end which help verify that the author did their research. The second essay I read was "Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Literature Review" by Vanessa Parslow....

...review is your opinion of whether the movie is good or bad based on the following criteria: bias, movie design, educational value, and historical accuracy. These issues are all discussed in greater depth on the backside of this page. In talking about your view of this movie, it is critical to keep in mind that entertainment value is important, but not the key criteria. While a boring movie might not keep your attention, a movie rife with false details does not teach you true history. Another point to think about is whether the movie makes you want to learn more about that particular subject. In determining a movie as “bad” or “good” take all factors into consideration. Your paper should be a minimum 1.5 - 2 pages in length to provide adequate detail. A full description and the grading rubric is included below.

...In College Composition 1 we will learn how to write a paper correctly. Also, how reading plays an important role in writing a proper document. Reading and writing go hand and hand and hand. I have never been good at either one of them. The main goal I hope to accomplish by taking this class how to write a paper correctly. Actually learn how to write a proper paper. This is something that has been difficult for me to learn, not sure why. In all the things I have written, they have all just been straight to the point. I have not learned how to elaborate on what it is that I am trying to say. It is hard for me to write my ideas down and make them make sense. Another goal is to help me learn how to read more and enjoy it. Reading helps you learn how to write and reading is not my best subject. For some reason it just never sunk into my head liking to read. I find it to be boring for some reason. One day maybe that feeling will change and by taking this class will help change my mind but for now, this is it. A way that will help me accomplish these few goals is in this class. Makin sure all my assignments are done to the best of my ability and listening to my professor’s good remarks and bad ones too. Learning from my mistakes with the help of my professor. Help me understand how to put everything that is my head on paper and make is sound like I know what I am talking about. Everything I hope to get out of this class will help me to reach my goals on learning...

...when I’m reading. In the 10th grade my teacher made me get up and read a short story about this old man who got shot by his grandson. I think this was the start of school and this couldn’t come at a different time. So I got up and started to look at everyone. Everybody was looking at me while I was standing and waiting for everybody to stop talking and look at me. When I got all the way to the front of the room I just started to read I didn’t care if everybody was looking at me or if they were still talking. I got to page.11 and that’s when everybody started to laugh. That’s when I called my teacher an asshole and walked out of class. I love writing because I got to write a paper for my school. It was about how my class was going to take over the world and showing people that we can make it in this big world. I still messed up on some of my words and spelling but I got help by some of my teachers and classmates. But at the end I still had a bad ass paper. People always wanted me to write their papers. They saw that I was always getting A’s on my papers. People didn’t understand how I wasn’t good at reading but I can write a good paper. I know I’m not the best at reading or writing but to me I’m good at it. I want someone to push me to read. If I have that I know I can be good at reading. Just please don’t get me up to read because I will look at you crazy. Just give me something to write and I will do it. This is my history on reading and writing. By: Daqwill Kory...

...The annotated bibliography is an important section of the paper. Usually, a large amount of sources is positive, particularly in research paper where the writer chooses a thesis plus a focusing question to narrow his research and needs plenty of data and evidence that could support what is trying to demonstrate. The annotated bibliography “provides a brief summary of what the source says” where the writer should focus on the main points when talking about each of them (Ballenger, 2014, p. 72). For the presentation, we are going to build a basic storyline about our topic and present it following a linear path where we explain the causes, the consequences and the personal data we found on the field. The storyline has to be attained to the proposal...
