I agree with Galen’s argument that people can have many selves. I believe that in just one day, a person can express themself in different ways that make it appear as if they have many selves. Take this for example. Let’s say that you’re having a conversation with your strict college professor in the morning. …
One of the first things I took note of while reading this essay was the argument between redemption and contamination writing. I defiantly believe that redemption writing is the most common form of writing when telling a narrative. People love being positive, and they especially love having a positive ending after having failure. This is …
When editing my essay and going through the rubric, the first thing I had to fix was the thesis. I didn’t even realize it, but my thesis was so weak. I had made a thesis that wasn’t including my opinion, but rather the opinion of what Geary, Erard, and Khullar thought. So the first thing …
Anne Lamont’s writing technique is a really interesting approach on how to write a rough draft. However, mine can actually compare to this technique.

This essay contains great arguments and definitely has the potential to be great. Your last body paragraph is by far the best part of your essay.

“Metaphors are a fundamental mechanism through which our minds conceptualize the world around us, especially in the face of complexity.” I completely agree with this quote. Metaphors in my opinion, form the English language that we know today. Metaphors are all around us today, and sometimes, metaphors are used when we don’t even realize it. …
Reading through the essay, “See Through Words” the second time was completely different and I gained a brand new understanding of the essay. Not only did reading a second time help me understand more, but discussing it in class gave me new opinions and ideas from other people to think about as I went through …
After reading the “See Through Words,” by Michael Erard, I have gained a brand new perspective on how metaphors are created, and how much of a thought process it is to come up with a persuasive, non-bias metaphor. One part in the reading that stood out to me the most was how metaphors can “jumpstart” …
With my first experience with Geary, I was able to understand his points and it was nice having a video to interact with so I could understand what he was talking about as he was discussing the topics at hand. The best example of this was when he discussed color hearing. When I read it …
