...Peter Patrick Composition Rough Draft 1 There are many people who have impacted my life and have inspired me to lead the life I live today. Among these people is my step-father, who came into my life at about the age of nine. Essentially, he has taught me how to be a man, and how to handle situations in such a way that a real, mature man would. He is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I have ever known, and has shown me by example how I should act, work, and respect others. If it were not for him, I may or may not have some of the great qualities that he has imposed on me, merely by leading by example. My step-father stepped in at a crucial time for my family, and I learned to love him, especially for all the support he has always provided for us. He is the perfect example of the "Right Person, Right Place, Right Time," and my life would be much different if it were not for him. The moment he stepped into my life is the moment I would describe as a Kairos. This Kairos has shaped and molded my life into what it is now, and I can thank him for playing such a vital role. One factor of this Kairos is the ethos aspect. Through a showing of incomparable work and dedication, my step-father has exhibited rationale for me to follow his footsteps. A great level of respect and trust was placed into his hands when he came into my life, and he guided me by showing me how I should act and work, not by simply telling me what to do. I was asked to join him for a day of labor...

...Gary Riley Riley 1 Savannah Sipple ENG 101 26 November 2015 IDENTITY Whenever someone asks us who we are, our first natural response is going to be to tell them our name. Then, if they do not know you, your next response would usually be to begin naming some of your relatives in hopes that they might know some of them, which then might give one a better understanding of who you are. The next question is usually, "Where are you from? Followed by yet another popular question, which is, "What do you work at?" These are the main questions that we as a society base someone's identity on. Take me for an example: My name is Gary Lee Riley, I am from a small county in Southeastern Kentucky, and I am a part time farmer while also a full time on-line student. However, if one were to ask you who you really are, this can promote some deep thought into what really shapes us into the person who looks back at us when we look into a mirror. Beginning at birth, we start learning how to be a human being, and our surroundings is our teacher. We learn to walk and talk and pretty much everything else by watching others, such as parents and siblings, yet we learn to do it "our way," because everyone is unique and "puts their own spin on things," so to speak. If one were to assume that identity is what we are born...

...Holmes 1 Jamil Holmes Discussion Questions Week 4 COMM/112 Intro to Research and Writing Group ID: OA10FYS2 6th November 2013 Holmes 2 1.) What is your experience with using a rough draft in the writing process? : My experience using the rough draft in the writing process of course your rough draft is just a general idea of what your final draft will be. The goal for me when I write my rough draft is to try my absolute best to write a potent well-polished paper. This way I can go over it and have a peer review my paper to edit my paper to perfection. Using ideas such as checking vocabulary, checking for fragments, and also if the paper made sense. There is a river point driver that can format your paper for you and there is a plagiarism checker to make sure your paper is close to 100 % originality. 2.) What steps should be taken before creating the first draft of a research paper? : Before creating the first draft of a research paper I believe that one should complete their research. After they have done research that person should be creative and locate their thesis statement. Step three should be to break down there thesis statement into 5 important topics. Step four is to use your research to prove those 5 important topics to prove your thesis. Step 6 is to write a conclusion, restating your thesis and why your topic is true/false. 3.) Why is it important to use quotations and paraphrases when documenting your sources? Explain : Quotations and...

Find and review any entries in your RNB that were about this book and flag them with an adhesive note. Ms. Amador will need to see evidence of these later.
