...George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-four tells a story about a futuristic dystopian society that is ruled by the seemingly omniscient Big Brother. Winston Smith lives within this rule of Big Brother and the Party where all he does is strictly limited. As time progresses, Winston begins to make secret relationships without the Party’s knowing and begins to do what he wants to do. George Orwell’s use of intriguing characters, a strange, utopian social setting, and a riveting yet slow plot makes Nineteen Eighty-four a great piece of literary work. George Orwell’s use of fascinating and believable characters makes the story an interesting read. The story revolves around Winston Smith, an ordinary Party employee who works for the Ministry of Truth. Under the power of the Party, Winston does not have the freedom to think his own thoughts unless they...

...[Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines] ECON212-1503B-05 Professor Chavarria CTU Online Author Note Unit 2 Individual Project What is the price elasticity of demand? The price elasticity of demand is a measure of the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good and a change in it’s price. Price elasticity of demand is often used when discussing price sensitivity. The formula for calculating price elasticity is % change in quantity demanded / % change in price. What is elastic and inelastic demand? Elastic demand is the degree to which a demand or supply curve reacts to a change in price which is the curves elasticity. However; elasticity varies among products because some products are more essential to customers. For instances, products that are more on a necessities level are more insensitive to changes in price because of the fact that costumers are continuing to buy these products. A price increase of a product that is considered less of a necessity will not have customers buy because cost of buying the product will become high. Inelastic demand is used to describe situations in which supply and demand for a good or service is unaffected when the price of that good or service changes. Meaning that when prices go up, costumers buying stays the same, but when price goes down, buying habits also remain unchanged. The price of a laptop increases 20% and there is a 40% decrease in quantity demanded. If...

Consult the Writing Rubric. Proofreads thoroughly. 15th Century philosopher, Francois De La Rochefund stated, “There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand different versions.” In The Four Loves, C. S. Lewis presented his philosophical view on The Four Loves as described in Greek thought. They are, namely, Familial or Affectionate love, Friendship, Romantic love and, Spiritual love. Lewis led the readers to reflect on his interpretation of each type as he tried to prove that the real glory of the natural loves lies in the divine love of God. This divine love is the highest form of love, and all the other loves are its offspring. Lewis first discussed the affectionate love also known as Storge. According to Lewis, “almost anyone can become an object of affection It ignores the barriers of sex, age, class, education” (p. 55 -56). There are different types of attachment that may develop between two persons or between an individual and an object. This affection...

...Guide to Writing a Basic Essay An essay can have many purposes, but the basic structure is the same no matter what.

These steps include begin with a point, support the thesis, organize and connect the evidence, and write clear, error free sentences (Bethel University, n.d.). Step one is to begin with a main point.

...Writing Analysis Essay Throughout my childhood and until the present day, I have always been told by my parents, teachers, coaches and others that practice makes perfect. As my knowledge broadened, I thought to myself, perfect is impossible to be because humans are engineered to have flaws. No matter how many times one does something over and over again, whether it is shooting free throws until all are made, or writing fifteen outlines until points are stronger, one can only make progress. There will always be space for improvement in any category in life. Writing is no exception, and compared to my writing when I first started college, my work has definitely improved. Although I know I need more work, my organization, development, syntax, mechanics and cognition of my writing has escalated to a level that I did not know I was capable of. Essay outlines was never a priority of mine, but once I began to take the time to write it, my topic sentences and coherence within the paragraphs made more sense to the reader and myself. On the first paper that was graded, “Is College Worth It?”, I received no credit due to the lack of organization and development. At first, I thought I would at least earn a passing grade but once I read the “NC” (no credit) on my grade sheet, I was discouraged and disappointed in myself. I knew I had to state my opinion on my topic sentence, yet I did not do it. For instance, in that same essay, my topic sentence was a fact, “…there are college graduates...

...assigned to write four essays that have stressed the course competencies of subject matter knowledge, writing process knowledge, rhetorical knowledge, genre knowledge, discourse community knowledge, and meta-cognition. Through the process of drafting, editing, and revising three out of the four papers, I think I have been effectively able to absorb three of those course competencies; subject matter knowledge, rhetorical knowledge, and writing process knowledge. The first paper I was assigned to write for Writing 102 was a literacy narrative. For this paper, I was told to write about a past experience that helped influence my current writing and reading qualities. The core competencies that were involved in this essay were writing process knowledge and subject matter knowledge. I used writing process knowledge when I was told to generate ideas for my essay. I began by thinking of five possible ideas and from there I created a brainstorming web out of the two topics I thought would be the most interesting. Shortly after starting, I realized I could only build an effective brainstorming web from one idea. I decided to use the first time I forgot my lines in a play as my main idea for the essay. After I completed the brainstorming web and finished taking notes on what I remembered from the incident I started to follow the writing process that consisted of prewriting, drafting, and revising. Subject matter knowledge, which was the other core competency, was used in this essay when I began...

One of the essays I read was “A Soul as Free as the Air: About Lucy Stone”. The characteristics that make this an expository essay are it states fact about the work and efforts of Lucy Stone.

Also this essay uses the time order organization. The second essay I read was “How to Succeed as an Online Student”. This essay uses the informative process. It gives you step by step directions on how to become a successful online student.

...The relationship between a paragraph and an essay is symbiotic; you can't write an essay without using paragraphs, and four or more consecutive paragraphs about the same subject matter become an essay. Both paragraphs and essays have a distinct beginning, middle and end. They're also both composed of five sections: A paragraph typically has five sentences, and an essay, five paragraphs. Topic Sentence * Both paragraphs and essays begin with a topic sentence, or a thesis statement, that explains to the reader what the paragraph, or essay, is about. A thesis statement for an essay is longer and more detailed than the topic sentence at the beginning of a paragraph. For example, a thesis statement for an essay might be: "The gravity of marriage becomes more apparent over time; newlyweds imagine a glamorous life ahead and cannot yet imagine the test their love will endure, while couples married for a decade or more are beginning to understand the depth of their promise." A topic sentence for a paragraph might simply be: "A lasting marriage requires many levels of compromise." Supporting Details * Paragraphs and essays both require supporting details that elaborate on the statements made in the topic sentence or thesis statement. In a paragraph, each subsequent sentence builds upon the point made in the topic sentence and the sentences following the topic sentence are called "supporting details". In an essay, the first sentence in each paragraph discusses points made in the thesis...

...evidence plays a critical role in any argument essay. It’s the evidence, of course, that helps to convince your reader that what you’re saying is true. "Read my lips" just doesn’t cut it. In this lesson, you’ll have the opportunity to learn to examine your use of evidence so that you present your "case" in the best light. In the end, your reader will evaluate your claim based not only on the quality of the evidence you present, but also on your interpretation of it. You will examine your evidence to determine its relevance, validity, and level of detail. Evaluating if you have enough – or too much – evidence and whether the evidence you’re presenting helps or hurts your case will conclude this week’s lesson.
