...Semester Final Reflective Essay At the beginning of this semester I felt this course would go smoothly and I could complete it with no difficulty. As the semester began I was expecting the similar English courses I had experienced through the past four years of high school, which is exactly what I got. We reviewed the same basic grammar skills and writing techniques. Although one thing seemed to be different compared to the other high school teachers, you were able to take interest into our work and progress. Even though I didn’t speak up much in class or schedule conferences for my work I was able to improve my writing more then ever.

...Selina Rich Professor Cherry Lou Sy English Composition 1010 12th October 2014 Response Paper Black Body: Rereading James Baldwin’s “Stranger In The Village I found this essay to be fascinating illustrating a vast amount of knowledge on the part of the author, rich in content, and beautifully written. Teju Cole skillfully captures the beauty of the Swiss landscape enabling the physical magnificence of Leukerbad to come to life for the reader, whilst simultaneously placing Baldwin’s alienation, rage, profound grief and “white supremacy” issues amidst that very beauty stating ”The remote village gave him a sharper view of what things looked like back home.” Cole describes how this once quiet Leukerbad has become a tourist resort attracting many due to the mountains and thermal baths which gave me the impression he is trying to convey that time stands still for no one, that everything is a constant state of change yet when it comes to racism, even to this day, “arresting members of the dance troupes that perform in moving subway cars is one of the ways to clean up the city.”still makes sense to some. I immensely enjoyed Cole describing his first night in Leukerbad listening to Bessie Smith, the amazing blues singer a true virtuoso of double entendres, feeling like the “custodian of a black body” and finding himself slipping into Baldwins shoes by virtue of his identification with what it feels like spiritually to speak “the Word.” As he so eloquen...

...Laklisha Clark Charlotte Morgan English 1010 5 December 2013 (1) The Verdict Acquittal of George Zimmer stirred up a lot of emotions around the globe. The Trayvon Martin’s verdict became very frustrating, angering, and predictable based on the lack of evidence, had Trayvon shot Zimmerman would there had been a six week wait for his arrest? No there would not have been a wait. I believe Trayvon would have been arrested immediately, charged and doing his time by now. How did Zimmerman get away with such a thing? I believe because his father had been a judge. Where are the witnesses? And what happen to the original 911 call Zimmerman made where the dispatcher had told Zimmerman to stand back and not to pursuit the suspect that looks suspicious because the police is on the way? Why wasn’t it presented in the trial. Why didn’t Zimmerman obey the law? Well I feel because he is a neighborhood watchman who wants to be a wanna be cop. I understand Zimmerman frustration and all with the burglaries and people in their gated community being held captive in their own home by black guys and as Zimmerman stated it’s punks like him (Trayvon) who always gets away, and at that point I believe that’s when Zimmerman had taken the law into his own hands. The media play’s their role...

...Nunn, Brandon English Brooks English 1010 4 October 2015 Mark Bittman’s “The Food Industry’s Solution to Obesity” For decades, obesity has been a major problem in American society. Some attribute this to the laziness or lack of ambition of Americans. Others blame the marketing strategies of big name food companies. Mark Bittman attributes it to big name food companies not distributing “healthy” food to the public. He insists that they instead distribute food that is terrible for you. Loaded down with excess amounts of sugar, calories, and fats, the food companies have begun to appear to be selling “better” food to society. In his article, “Parasites, Killing Their Hosts: The Food Industry’s Solution to Obesity,” he dives deeper into the corrupted world of public health versus company profit. Published in the New York Times on June 17, 2014, his article covers the world of obesity and how the food industry contributes to this dystopia we’re working towards. Mark Bittman is an American food journalist, columnist for the New York Times, and author of 14 books and cookbooks. One of these books was awarded the James Beard Award for General Cooking. Working for the New York Times since 1996, Bittman has slowly worked his way up to the current lead food writer for the paper. He has been featured on NPR, The Today Show, and PBS’s 2008 American food and travel series “Spain…on the Road Again." As Bittman writes his article he begins to analyze how little the food industry really...

...Judge 1 Ashley Judge Marc Pietrzykowski ENGL 3100 28 July 2006 Mona Lisa Smile: Decoding the Pedagogies of 1953 at Wellesley College for Women During the time period in which this film takes place, it was a progressive concept to have women in the university, let alone having an entire university dedicated specifically for women. The main character Katherine Watson (played by Julia Roberts), however, did not see education as a privilege or a ‘finishing’ prize for women. During her first year as an art teacher at Wellesley, she tries to debunk the notion of female inferiority and subordination. She does this not only for the sake of her students, but for the sake of her work, her teaching, her art. Watson experiences the successes and failures of a variety of teaching methods to educate and counsel students in their lives and their intellectual development. These pedagogies include current-traditional, process, and feminist pedagogies. In addition to reviewing the pedagogy tactics, identifying how they function in the film, and determining the pedagogical accomplishments, a hypothetical syllabus will further explain the tactics, strengths or weaknesses, and the characteristics of the pedagogies. Judge 2 Current-Traditional Pedagogy Current-traditional pedagogy developed in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries and is based loosely on paragraph theory, where there is a rhetorical structure with set conventions that must be met...

...Taylor Nichols English 1010 Mr. Fitzner Summary-Response #1 February 7, 2016 Section A: Essay The Organ Debate MacKay made many points to support her argument on legalizing organ sales. Her first point was that the people who are currently donating organs, need money. She stated, “In third world countries, there are people willing to do anything for money. In such extreme poverty these people barely have enough to eat, living in shacks and sleeping on dirt floors” (MacKay 121). She continues to coincide with the donors, stating that they would basically be rewarded for donating an organ to someone in need. “We pay men for donating sperm, and we pay women for donating ova, yet we expect others to give away an entire organ for no compensation” (MacKay 121). As she said, we should treat organ sales like all other sales. If the transactions for organ sales were easier and beneficial to both parties, more people would be willing and to giving their organ away. If this happened, more people’s lives will be saved. Also, with more organs becoming available, the waiting list will be eliminated. That would be a major benefit to all of the people who need an organ. Then, MacKay continues with her second point, “Under a regulated system, education would be incorporated into the application process. Before deciding to donate a kidney, the seller should know the details of the operation and any hazards involved” (MacKay 122). Many people do not fully know or understand what is going...

...Robinson1 Jennifer E. Robinson 21 March 2015 English 1010 Ms. Spillers Exemplification Essay Me Being Optimistic I have been having long thoughts about the idea that life is what you make of it. In the same manner, I have acknowledge the fact that the meaning of our lives depends heavily on the unique manner by which we see reality. As a way to see reality, I have great reasons to believe that me being an optimistic person affects significantly how I lived my life and what I attempt to do with it. I am going to briefly demonstrate the three reasons to be exact to which will establish the fact I am who I am, all things considered being me, and an optimistic person. Firstly, I believe that I am an optimistic person, chiefly because I tend to look at life as a journey towards a better and brighter future. In the same manner, I also tend to believe that the future holds plenty of promises not only for me, but also for my loved ones. These life perspectives best exemplify me being who I am. I often catch myself imagining good things about my future, promising career, and a happy family of my own, amongst other thing in my life. All of the reason that I just stated give me hope to look forward to the future and help me to control distraction over my present moments. My general take of reality is anchored on a belief that good things in life whether in my past, present, or future are outnumber with the not-so- good ones that still make up who I am today.
