Ap English Assignment

Improved Essays
I have been taking AVID for the past 3 years in order to reach my goal of attending a four year university. I am taking courses that will prepare me for college and my job, such as Pre-Ap english. In Pre-Ap English I have to carefully analyze the text and the directions, or else I will get a bad grade. This class will be immensely helpful, because I will have experience with being very diligent. Diligence is important in the Criminal Justice Department, because you are reading through important documents and you have to make sure you are following the protocols correctly. In order to achieve my goals I will continue with the AVID program and continue to surround myself with people who are academically oriented. Most importantly, I will continue

    This is a 90 minute documentary produced by BBC on 7 August 2005 in the United Kingdom, written and directed by Paul Wilmshurst. It tells the story of the crew who flew the mission of Hiroshima and dropped the bomb, and focuses on the story of the people of Hiroshima who were the first ever victims of the nuclear retract. This movie can be also a drama or history one, as it touches emotions at specific points regarding the after-effects of the nuclear explosion. In addition, background music keeps changing (when it necessary) from one situation to another, especially while viewing the bomb's descend to the ground, and while telling stories by Japanese survivors after the attack. Furthermore, the use of match cuts establishes a well-developed…

    For this assignment I decided to interview my English 111 professor; Michelle Christensen. I chose her because she is the type of person I want to be when I grow up. She is very outgoing, advanced and passionate about her work. She considers her leadership style to be similar to that of a transformational leader, who revolves around collaboration with students and working in reciprocity to one another. Throughout this interview, I not only learnt about a new leadership style, but I learnt a lot about my professor.…

    In Unit V, lessons one and two was an excellent guide to follow as I began the process of revising my literature review assignment. However, what I have discovered in the revision process that was most accommodating for me, was to read each sentence thoroughly to prevent sentence fragment, comma spices, and run-on-sentence. Also, I realized that after I had corrected and made necessary changes to my initial literature review, putting the project away for several hours and then returning helped me to eliminate unnoticed errors I had overlooked in my assignment.…

    Every form of literature has a meaning; some are hidden, others are straight forward and in plain sight. Literature can be sad, happy, dark, funny, complicated, and heart touching. However each piece of literature is distinctive and special in its own way. When starting to learn and study literature, reading takes on a new and different aspect. The study of literature requires critical thinking ability, recognizing different styles and forms, identifying the point of view, memorizing literary terms and looking beyond the obvious for meaning.…

    4. Literature in 1920s reflected the uncertainty of the the time period perfectly. World War I left a questionable impact, leaving some people questioning the future of previous beliefs and traditions and also challenged people to make new discoveries. World War I caused writers and philosophers to question the new ways and accept the new ideas about reason and progress.

    Throughout the entirety of this English 101 course, I have seen my skills as a writer grow. In the beginning of the school year, my writing fell short of my expectations, but as I continued to work and learn the principles of writing, I have written papers that I am proud to say are mine. Among the aspects of my writing I have improved, the best strives are seen within my my counter arguments and overall strength and coherency of my papers. To begin, when looking at a paper I wrote in August on necessity of first drafts, there were large gaps in my elaboration, bringing concerns as to whether I was arguing and proving a point or merely summarizing what Lamott, the author of the article, originally said. When attempting to argue my evidence, I stated,…

    Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 1010 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. When I first started this course, I was scared and didn’t really know what to expect. I branched out to different styles and types of essays as well as incorporating outside sources into my work. When I received my first essay back with the feedback and the grade, I realized that I was not a really good writer.…

    On the most fundamental level, I suppose you could say that I am in your English 150 class to fulfill a requirement for graduation. I had an interest in improving my writing, particularly my basic grammar, and I would have likely been inclined to take this class anyway. Having a basic understanding of how to effectively communicate both in a discussion and on paper is an important skill for everybody, so it is no surprise this class is a requirement. In regard to my major, which is intended to be music theory, it soon becomes writing-heavy and I would definitely do not want to be less successful in my career because my writing was unorganized and was constantly violating simple rules of English. My formal writing experience has all…
