...Why We Write Everywhere you look in the world today, you see writing. If it’s graffiti on the walls, the newspaper, words on the TV screen filling you in on missing persons or something that has expressed feelings. People write for all types of reasons. There is always a reason for why it’s important that we write, no matter what type of writing it is. People write things down to inform people. Newspapers were formed to inform people what is going on around them. If people had not started to write the newspapers, other people would not know what is going on in their communities and across the country. Another reason why people write is to express their feelings. Poems, songs and graffiti are all types of ways to express their feelings. It is important that we express our feelings through writing because if we couldn’t write to express our feelings, they would possibly bottle up inside us. It is important to write things down because it helps gain knowledge. If scientists had never written down their findings, would we know the things that we know now? We read what they had written down and gained knowledge; and from that knowledge we can progress their findings and make them better. There are all different kinds of reasons why it’s important that we write things down, but we don’t have to write. Writing can also be an impulse, something that we want to do. If humans had never learned to put pen to paper, then the world might not be as advanced as it is now. We would...

Students must write this essay in order to complete this course with a passing grade. Choose 1 essay topic from the following list of 16: Sartre Write an essay which explicates and evaluates some of the central claims in Sartre’s “Existentialism” (the first essay of Existentialism and Human Emotions.) You should frame your essay around a particular philosophical claim or theme which you would like to write about in Sartre’s essay. For example: 1. How does Sartre argue that “existentialism is a humanism” and is his argument a good one? 2. What is Sartre’s notion of freedom and how does it relate to ethics? Is this a viable ethics? 3. Explain and evaluate the claim that “existence precedes essence.” What are the implications for living if one accepts this claim? Defend or consider problems with this position. 4. What does Sartre mean when he says that “man is condemned to be free” but also that we are nonetheless responsible for who or what we become? In what way are we free, in which ways are we responsible, and to whom are we responsible? Is Sartre right? If so, why? If not, why not? 5. Drawing on the entirety of the essay, develop an account of what Sartre thinks the human is (in his language “man” or the “subject.”) Once you have articulated what man is for Sartre,...

...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 you have something to say, your voice will be heard in your writing...

Read the following four poems from the back of this book: The Red Wheelbarrow Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening The Tiger dog Which poem do you like the best? Why? On page 20, our narrator complains that he doesn’t know who the YOU is in the pasture poem (you need to read it now—it’s right after “dog”). Who do you think is the YOU in the poem? Why? On pages 23 and 24, our narrator is puzzling over what makes a poem. He wonders if it’s just typing something in poem form. What do you think? What makes a poem a poem? LOVE THAT DOG #2 pages 25-41 On page 25, we have a line that is an echo from one of the poems we just read. What is the line? The same line shows up again, in capital letters, on page 29. Why do you think this author keeps using that line? Read the poem “Street Music.” What is the music of your street? What sounds do you hear on your street? Once again, the author uses a line from one of the poems in the book. It’s on page 34. What is the line? Why do you think the author used it here?

...The hate side of my relationship with writing stems from school. This is because most of the writing assessments dont allow me to have creative freedom. 9 times out of 10 we have to write about something like why we love school (we don't) or sometime you had to do something specific that you can't remember ever doing. And then when you get to write something that has a plot instead of a 5 paragraph essay about why school shouldn't be start earlier, you have to write from a prompt that sounds like something you would find in a children's story contest. I understand why we are given prompts, i just wish we could have more creativity with them instead of writing with a specific prompt. That is why i partly hate writing. The love side of my...

...Why I write? Human beings have been writing since the dawn of time. People write for other’s because we see and feel something that may be of interest or of importance. We write because we have learned something and might help others through unexpectedness of life. I write to relieve stress from the craziness call my “life” with its unexpected twist, turns, trails, and turmoil. I write because of the things I felt, the struggles I have endured and I want to inspire others to find their way. Writing my thoughts, emotions and struggles is therapeutic to my psyche. Why do I write? Working as a Paramedic is a stressful and challenging profession. I see things every day that the normal run of the mills person may never see in their lifetime. Writing...

...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 known, their lives are somehow interesting to us. We love the celebrity gossip because they’re famous and any juicy story about a celebrity will catch our attention. The writers of these magazine articles know how to grab my attention. It’s almost like they just suck all your attention into the story to where your face is only an inch from touching the magazine. In order for these writers to...

... From: Tanner Elrod Date: 9/10/2013 Re: Writing Inventory Introduction As a writer, one of the first questions you have to ask yourself is, “Why do I write?” The reasons for writing can range from necessity to pleasure, school work to a career in writing. Whatever reason you choose to write, you have to be aware of your audience, your purpose, and the reason you are writing. When taking inventory of your writing, you have to decide what constitute “good writing”, find your strengths and weaknesses in writing, and decide when you believe a particular writing is “finished”. What is “good” writing? We write because we are reacting to someone or something. While writing can feel like an isolating, individual act—just you and the computer or pad of paper—it is really a social act, a way in which we respond to the people and world around us. Writing happens in specific, often prescribed contexts. We are not just writing—we are always writing to an audience for some particular purpose. When we write, we do so because we want, need, or have been required to create a fixed space for someone to receive and react to our ideas. Understanding this social or rhetorical context—who our readers may be, why they want to read our ideas, when and where they will be reading, how they might view us as writers—governs some of the choices we make. The writing context requires writers to have a sense of the reader’s expectations and an awareness of conventions for a particular piece of writing...
