what I would like more out of the class in the future. As a college course, I expected for there to be mostly essays and research papers. However, with assignments like the syntax worksheet I discovered my skills for writing became more advanced than just the surface level. My cultural essay earlier this year, “What Fuels My Fire” is drastically different compared to my most recent essay, “Driverless World, Closer Than You Think” which is completely throughout and organized .

about the stories and speeches that we read. My peers have been helpful throughout the semester especially relating to topics I have trouble understanding.

This first essay, “Evaluation” reminded me of the short evaluation assignment we did in…

These require skills that even people in blue collar job systems have. Both Mike Rose’s article “Blue-Collar Brilliance” and the film “8 Mile” agree that even in blue collar jobs work is an educational place…

Rich Dad Poor Dad is an amazing book. I loved reading the book because of the way the author uses his personal story to reach the minds of his readers. The author also uses such an easy approach to present controversial ideas to his readers with the intention of getting them to embrace new perspectives about money.
