...3 AFRICAN AMERICAN ENGLISH The dialect of English spoken by members of the African diaspora and descendents from the slave trade in North America has many names: African American English, African American Vernacular English, Black English, Ebonics (Baugh, 2000: 2), Spoken Soul (Rickford and Rickford, 2000), New World Black English (Rickford, 1999: 175), African American Standard English when discussing middle class Black English (Spears, 2009: 3), and many others.

...I have had many on my friends ask me about my college classes over the last few months. The main class that they ask me about is English 101. There are many different tips and tricks on how to be successful in an English 101 class. Students should come to a college class with a different mindset than they would if they were in a high school class. To become a well-rounded and successful student in an English 101, students will have to bring a computer, participate in class, and not procrastinate throughout the semester. Students who are in an English 101 class should always bring a computer to class with them. Teachers don’t always tell the students when they should bring their laptop even though the class might use them. The computers are great in class when students are engaging in conversion about something they don’t know, because all they would have to do is Google whatever the topic is about and get information about it. Sometimes when students are posting their assignment on a school based website the attachment doesn’t get...

Outline: Paragraph 1: Introduction and Thesis Statement Paragraphs 2-13: Explains the play, its characters, the author’s interpretation of the play, and the author’s perception of death and the treatment of death. Paragraph 14: Conclusion This paper indentifies the perception of death and the treatment of death of the anonymously written play, Everyman.

...Many women share a common goal in life, to become a wife and mother. Once a woman reaches this goal, what is next? How does she behave in such a role? Each of these women wants to obtain such a status, but who knows how to fulfill it? Numerous opinions dance about with only wives and mothers of the past as support for the presented arguments. A woman new to her position needs only to follow in the steps of a great role model to have the chance of also becoming a respected and loved spouse and caregiver. St. Augustine’s mother, Monica, described throughout Augustine’s Confessions and Rebekah, whose story is told in Genesis 25 and 27, share little in character or in their beliefs of marital bliss. Both give examples of how women choose to conduct themselves in marriage and motherhood. Two women, both wives and mothers, hardly compare in their virtues, their view of marriage, or their ideas of a woman’s responsibilities to her husband. A virtuous woman excels at her tasks without experiencing repercussions while a woman of little virtue hatches schemes that a price must be paid in order to succeed. Augustine continuously commends his mother on her virtues through his depiction of her. The story presented in Genesis shows little evidence of Rebekah possessing many admirable qualities. With Monica, lists have been made of all her virtues; some find it difficult to number Rebekah’s due to limited resources or rather their lack of existence. While Monica walks through...

...CHAPTER V Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations Summary and Conclusions The study attempts to determine the different factors that influence the decisions of 2nd year College of Business and Accountancy Students of the University of St. La Salle in choosing their major course. The study also seeks to identify the different benefits and descriptions of the courses offered in the said college. The research design used is descriptive because we tend to describe the facts in a factual way. There were 50 2nd year CBA students of University of St. La Salle who did partake in the study. The findings of the study revealed that the biggest factor that influences the decisions of our respondents is their family. According to our statistics, 30% of the 2nd year students answered that their families were the ones whom greatly influenced their decisions. We could say that those said respondents who said that their family is the one who influenced or chose the certain course they are going to take were really obedient students because they believe that their parent's knows what is the best for them. For some, they maybe forced to take up that certain course. The findings of the study revealed that a big chunk of the students population having 82% didn't want to be in the College of Business and Accountancy in the first place. Reasons for this kind of result may be caused of the unmaid minds of the students that they didn't know what college to enroll into when they entered...

...Reflective Essay on What I Learned in English 111 I am a first-year college student at Delta community college, in Bay City Michigan. English 111 was my first English class since completing high school. When I received my syllabus for English 111 I was a little overwhelmed with all the writing assignments.

...Walking into high school and into college are two very different things. The atmosphere is different, students are different, and teachers are different. Many things are different in college. Professors are not scared to use profanity. Class styles are all different. Students are not babied in college. College is a time in a student's life to realize their dreams. However, first, they must pass basic courses. One of these basic courses includes English 101. Some students struggle with this course because they believe they are not good writers. But bad writing can be fixed, laziness cannot. As a student who has taken English 101 twice now, I have a few helpful tips for incoming freshmen on how to succeed at this course. Students who wish to end their English 101 class with a bang should avoid procrastination, correct essay mistakes, and celebrate successes and failures....
