An example that combines repetition and paradox into one quote is when Orwell writes, “War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength.” This phrase is used by Orwell many times in his story. In this phrase he connects contradictory ideas, such as war and peace. Most people understand that where there is a peace there is no…
narrative began as a slightly different list of vacations. Even within the vacations I had from the beginning I revised my ideas on the most important story from each. As I wrote the episodic narrative, I was able to gaze back at my past and discover how it has influenced me years later. The paper I began writing nearly two weeks ago looks nothing like my final copy that I will…
differences. Choosing two out of the four essays, I came to a conclusion that the “process analysis” essay was the best, and the worst essay was the “descriptive” essay. Although it varied from their definitions and structure, the essay’s showed how much the writer, put their work into it. The certain characteristics that made it the worst to the best defined how well the essay would turn out to be. However, writing these essays were difficult, and time consuming. The most satisfactory essay…
expansion of sensory detail through the revisions I made of my writings. In my revised memoir version, I have examples of my immense improvement in sensory detail use, including, “....Imagine yourself being a small animal, desperately trying to find a place to hide from these huge machines,…
Before we started writing, I told Triven we would be writing for ten minutes and that he could write a narrative or true story on any of the topics that we listed the day before.

I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion. In writing your suppose to use descriptive details and to always have a point to why you are writing the story. My writing didn’t until I came to college; being in your class has been teaching me how to write. It’s bad a way that I just started writing because I have way…
is “good” is the beauty of forgiveness, as this is what the story develops upon and how the story plot ends. Hawthorne’s idea of “evil” is the dark personalities inside of us all that affects the way we treat others.

Hawthorne’s writing is very true to himself, he writes in an elevated style that is, at some point, hard to comprehend. However, his style…
imagination to come up with what they want to write, and why they want to write it. Both authors made very descriptive points to how their minds wander on and off their writings while trying to write, concluding into two very different styles. They both often were writing about what they didn’t want to write about before they actually wrote what they wanted too .In most writers such as Orwell and Didion a purpose is not found before the writer writes, but often found after they have decided to…

book and he suddenly became interested in it. He began to write books on the topic, which are what all of his books are about. Human rights stood out to Hochschild, and King Leopold II of Belgium went against human rights. Leopold took over the Congo by using forced labor to receive goods and benefited off of it.
