from Henrietta Lack yet her family is poor and barely making ends meet. What’s more disturbing is that the family has never officially been given the information they greatly desire about Henrietta’s condition or her cells. I’m sure it’s because no one wants to admit publicly that they played or are playing a part in the mistreatment of the Lack family. The book tells me how people back then and of today are selfish, greedy and biased towards other human beings. I think that her race and social status

notes from the book To Kill MockingBird we got to take notes on. For the first semester that was my first book to take notes on. To understand which of the notes were the correct notes from the book to use for when we had test on the book. That was my one of some problems on the first semester.

Part of maturing for me was learning that life happens and one has to be able to adapt and overcome those events. There will always be something that comes up in one’s life that is out of their control. I have learned that part of maturing is also learning to ask for help when needed. I use to feel that asking for help was a sign of weakness, but as one continues to mature, we learn that asking for help is a benefit to both the person asking the question

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

while writing my papers. In “Lean on Me,” there were more corrections made about my use of second person than in “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble.” In everyday conversation, I find myself speaking in second person rather than first or third. I am accustomed to using “you” and “your” instead of “he or she” and “his or hers”. My previous English teachers have not corrected any of my papers on its point of view. I had begun to learn how to correct myself and have others proof read my papers; however, on this

Ep Reflection During the different processes of making the essay, I felt that it was easier to make the final written essay as we had already made our points and found our quotes. If we had forgotten different events in the novel we could look at our reading log which helped tremendously as we were reading other novels at the same time. These steps helped me stay on track as I would have procrastinated and finished my essay a day or two before the due date. When writing the essay I found that it

Since I first learned to write, I have been a writer. It has always been an incredibly cathartic and therapeutic passion of mine. Writing became a part of my job when I had to learn to write search engine optimized web copy more than 15 years ago. And about 10 years ago, I started writing how-to articles to help fledgling developers who were trying to teach themselves the ins and outs of web design and development, like I had done. (I swear this is leading someplace. Hang in there.) Then, just six

falls for Victoria, the stunning daughter of Monty Kipps, a Christian, and the two families find themselves thrown together, enacting a cultural and personal war against their backgrounds. I’m yearning to find out how the two came in contact with one another. Why are the Belsey’s atheist ? Do they have something against religion ? I wonder will the Belsey’s convert over to Christianity. I’m very much into religion and controversy, so I would definitely read this

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

are looking for. Although the genre is important it is useless without the writing process. The MWA-1 assignments have helped me organize my ideas and put them on paper. Before I began the assignments I became overwhelmed because I had no idea how to control my ideas, but I learned to calm down and write my ideas on a piece of paper in order to analyze them. I later began on my draft and revised over and over again until, I felt that my ideas were explained
